Legal Theory Background (Continued)

I. Glenn Cohen

This is a series of videos (less than 2 hours total) recorded for a future possible add-on to Zero-L introducing you to theories of adjudication. COVID hit before we recorded the last set so we did them as a Zoom interview.  We will be using the ideas in these videos pervasively in this course. They will also be useful for your other courses, especially the common law ones. That said, there will not be a moment where these are directly "taught." You should just watch it through once so that you might be comfortable if asked, for example, to discuss how a Formalist vs. Realist vs. Constructivist vs. a Race Crit would approach one of our cases. I will take questions on in class around the time it is assigned.  While this would be a good time to watch it, if you run out of time it will not be the end of the world if you watch it later in the course.  Since these videos are still in draft form please do not share it. I will  ask you for feedback at some point, since we are still thinking about whether/when these would be usefully shared more broadly as either Zero-L or a separate adjunct course.
