Episode 6
I am excited to share an episode that gave me a lot of delight to record, partly because it is my first strictly academic episode, but also because I recorded it with my mentor Professor Hoctor!
In this episode, Professor Hoctor explains the interesting parallels between law and poetry. He takes us through how the two often feed off of each other in insightful ways. Listen and learn about:
- The similarities and differences between law and poetry;
- Why judges sometimes turn to poetry in their legal reasoning; and
- When judicial officers have written judgments as poems or rap songs!
A fascinating discussion.
