In this conversation with Walter Olson, we discuss the progressive philosophy informing much of legal pedagogy in American law schools and how it has manifested itself in a range of attempts to use law as a political weapon.
Walter Olson is a commentator, author and critic best known for his work on American law. A senior fellow at the Cato Institute, the think tank in Washington, D.C., he has written a series of widely acclaimed books on our legal system, beginning with The Litigation Explosion and most recently Schools for Misrule: Legal Academia and an Overlawyered America (Encounter, 2011).
