Best Politics or Opinion Podcast Award from The Podcast Academy

Professor Kate Shaw's Podcast, Strict Scrutiny, won the Best Politics or Opinion Podcast Award from The Podcast Academy. She said in her acceptance speech that “we started Strict Scrutiny, a podcast about the Supreme Court, because we thought we all needed to be paying more attention to an institution that is shrouded in secrecy, but whose decisions have enormous impact on all of our lives.”

You can listen to Strict Scrutiny wherever you choose to listen to podcasts.

“There’s a new tax avoidance/evasion scheme in town. In the past few years, high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth individuals have flocked to life insurance as the scheme du jour.”

“The guidance hopefully will provide consistency in how the D.O.J. and D.O.E. will assess each case is a significant step forward”

“Many startups continue to force arbitration in situations of alleged sexual misconduct. We’re going to see a ton of emails go out in the next week indicating that this is now the law. I’m concerned that the bill leaves out the people who are most deserving of judicial adjudication in the tech industry and beyond.”

“It’s a huge case and it covers an entire system. And it’s a system that has resisted reform of its medical practices for so many years. I don’t think Arizona is so unusual. I have never encountered a system that I thought did a good job.”

“What I teach [the students at Cardozo] more than anything else is that their job as lawyers is to change the criminal justice system. We have an obligation to not just become lawyers but to improve the system… We should be involved in change.”

Kim said the deal had come under attack from developing countries for being "not inclusive" and complicated to administer.

“Photography makes bad law. It’s a thin copyright. So much of what makes a photo great is about the photographer’s artistic vision, but so much of it is about the factual world they are photographing, and that’s not protectable.”

USA Today Op-Ed

“With so little progress made at the federal level, state leaders should step up, demonstrate that their words have meaning, and support local legislation that will bring some justice and accountability to their own backyards.”

“The risk: An erroneous ruling by the Court would do severe damage to the Georgia and Ukraine investigations and international humanitarian law more generally. The opportunity: a proper ruling by the Court could help guide the United States and others away from the flawed alternative interpretation of the law.”

“I think the prosecutor appropriately leaned into the timeline today. Both to show that the defendant had the opportunity to commit the murder, clean up quickly using the hose, and then go to his mother's house to try to set up an alibi. Also to show how implausible it would be for anyone else to get in in that very narrow window.

The Biden administration has made democracy a central focus of its agenda, and there is good evidence from the midterms that the public actually cares a great deal about democracy as a value. The court right now is a genuine threat to democracy — to both the choices made by our elected representatives and the processes by which we translate preferences into tangible policy.

“Here we have Juul settling for a lot of money and promising to stop doing a lot of stuff that was aimed at kids. That’s great, but I’d expect to see the next company coming down the line try to do the same thing.”

“These are all proxy fights for other stuff that’s going on in the separation of powers debate that the court is very familiar with” from tax, securities and environmental cases, Vishnubhakat said. The justices “didn’t stop being interested in IP. They were just focused for a while on what IP-related disputes could contribute to the broader conversation about the structure of government.”

“People can play games with [cryptocurrency] and not have to pay any taxes. It’s incredibly unfair to the vast majority of law-abiding taxpayers when the IRS is crippled. I think that’s the problem with bitcoin — the tax evasion has become normatively accepted.”
