  • On this episode, we are joined by U.S. Senator Jeff Merkley (D-OR), who currently serves on the Senate Committees on Appropriations, Foreign Relations, Budget, and Environment and Public Works. The senator explains that the 13th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution abolished most—but not all—slavery, permitting slavery or involuntary servitude “as a punishment for crime.” The punishment clause exception has led to the incarceration of millions of Black Americans since Reconstruction and continues to feed the current mass incarceration of people of color. Senator Jeff Merkley and Representative William Lacy Clay (D-MO-1) have introduced bicameral legislation to strike this clause in order to finally abolish slavey in the United States.

  • In this episode, we pay tribute to the groundbreaking and iconic life of the “Notorious RBG,” Justice Joan Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who left an indelible jurisprudential legacy of gender equality, civil rights, voting rights, and dignity for all people. Through her work as a law professor and head of the American Civil Liberties Union Women’s Rights Project, her appointment by President Jimmy Carter to the federal bench and her elevation in 1993 to the U.S. Supreme Court by President Bill Clinton, Ginsburg has been referred to as the most important woman lawyer in the history of the Republic. In honoring Justice Ginsburg, we are joined by one the few Black women to lead one of the Nation’s 204 law schools, Howard University School of Law alumna and current Washburn University School of Law Dean Carla Pratt. We discuss Ginsburg’s impact on the Supreme Court as an advocate and a jurist and explore the comparisons between Justice Thurgood Marshall’s work on racial equality and Justice Ginsburg’s work on gender equality.

Pellerin was killed two days before the world learned of another 29-year-old Black man, Jacob Blake, who was shot in the back seven times by police in Kenosha, Wisconsin, leaving him paralyzed. While Blake’s case went viral, Pellerin’s case remains noticeably out of the headlines. Mr. Haley updates us on the details of the Pellerin case and the steps he and local activists are taking to bring justice to those responsible for his death.

  • In this episode, we pay tribute to the late Judge Nathaniel R. Jones of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit. Judge Jones left a tremendous legacy of social justice, civil rights, and mentorship to a generation of lawyers who have since went on to accomplish great things. In honoring Judge Jones, we are first joined by the Senior Senator from Ohio, Sherrod Brown, as he discusses the resolution that has been introduced to honor the Judge’s legacy. Next, we speak with Donald Remy, Chief Operations Officer of the NCAA, on the profound impact that the Judge had on his life and the lives of others. Lastly, Karyn A. Temple, the former 13th Register of Copyrights and Director of the U.S. Copyright Office and current Global General Counsel for the Motion Picture Association, gives us a sense of Judge Jones’ personality and what it was like to work with him.

    The host for this episode is Clint Odom, NUL Senior Vice President of Policy & Advocacy.

  • In this episode, we join Jessica Rosenworcel, a commissioner on the Federal Communications Commission and one of the nation’s leading advocates for closing the “homework gap,” a particularly cruel part of the digital divide that prevents 12 million children from having access to broadband at home. More than half of the nation’s public-school children – 27 million -- are children of color. The COVID-19 pandemic, which has caused the closures of schools for more than 40 million kids nationwide, highlights the risk that children of color will not have access to classroom instruction during these extended school closures. Commissioner Rosenworcel discusses the response of companies to the pandemic and makes suggestions for policy and legislative responses to the crisis.
