Ravi is joined by due process expert and lawyer Dan Schorr to discuss the history and evolution of federal civil rights law and the potential repercussions of the Biden administration's recent proposed changes to its Title IX regulation. They explore how the updates could impact due process rights and what this means for students and educational institutions across the country.
Then, Ray Brescia joins the show to talk about his new book, Lawyer Nation: The Past, Present, and Future of the American Legal Profession. They dive into the history and evolution of the American legal profession, examining the origins of law firms, bar associations, and law schools. Ravi and Ray highlight how these institutions, now central to the profession, are still relatively new developments before turning to look at what the future might hold for lawyers in America.
