BeyondtheBlackLetter

We law students spend countless hours reading cases and distilling them down to the "black letter law" - the rules we're tested on at the end of each semester. But what gets lost during that process? A friend once said that "law is history stripped of context". In BeyondtheBlackLetter, we bring back the context. The history. The politics. The people. Connections with other disciplines, like economics and sociology. The goal is to make the law accessible and engaging, and seek out those "Aha!" moments when you realize that something you've taken for granted is far more interesting than you once thought.
