Season 3, Episode 20 (Show 124): Coronation Considerations

May 10, 2023

There’s a new King, and Akhil finds Constitutional meaning in that.  A Supreme Court justice releases his private papers, and there’s significance there.  The NY Times weighs in on a law school – anything there?  We inquire.

King Charles III has sat in St. Edwards’ Chair, been anointed with oil, and enjoyed all manner of pomp.  Akhil finds important echoes of the elevation of another III – George – back at the time of the American founding.  In a busy week, we also note the release of Justice John Paul Stevens’ private papers, with implications for important cases including – surprise! – Moore v. Harper.  Finally, the New York Times has a lengthy, lead article about a controversial law school, and we offer our take on that.
