Welcome to the still nameless torts podcast.
In which we talk about snails, tort-connected pool boy sex scandals, tort-connected marriages, what law school success really means, just how sensitive and crazy Mrs. Miller of Miller v. Jackson fame really was, twelve-year-old boys and how they feel about sharp metal objects, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and what happens to the people in famous legal cases after the case ends.
Sorry that the sound is a bit echo-y.

Add YoursThe best section! What…Professor Gauthier is pretty easy to follow but I’ve heard good things about Professor Sykes too. But we are a bit biased in section 91 🙂
How about the “Right Tort” Podcast. Bit of a play on words.
As for subjects, I’d be interested in negligence on the internet. There is no real proximity per se but where does the anonymity begin and end when an injury may occur as a result of an action that occurs on the internet? I feel like that question could be better framed but I’m hoping you get the jest of what I’m trying to ask lol!
Thanks!

Super Section 91
I think RBG did the right thing by NOT retiring. If she had retired for strategic reasons, then she would have been no better than some of those around her at the time (think Clarence Thomas for example) and she probably knew that.
She didn’t care what side she was seen as being affiliated with, it was more important for her to do the right thing in spite of where her political views landed. (all my opinion of course!)
Just like I think Amy B should turn down the nomination right now and wait until the new President is elected. It’s the right thing to do.
Dumpster fire…Woah! A pretty accurate way to describe it. Thank you for answering my questions!
Loved this episode. You touched on so many different and interesting topics, tort-related and not. Thank you for your insights on the idea of success, mental health and the legal profession.
In keeping with the theme of discussing the lives of jurists and plaintiffs, maybe your podcast can speak to the life of L Denning in a future episode! I’m curious to know where these lyrical decisions come from.
