Host Gwyneth Shaw talks with UC Berkeley Law Professor Chris Jay Hoofnagle, whose latest book, Cybersecurity in Context: Technology, Policy, and Law, was published last fall. Hoofnagle and his co-author, LSU computer science and engineering Professor Golden G. Richard, wrote the book to accompany courses on this important topic, but also worked to make it accessible to students and teachers in any discipline. The textbook includes a set of hands-on exercises on self-contained virtual machines for Linux, Windows, and Mac so readers can experience how cybersecurity works in practice.

Host Gwyneth Shaw talks with UC Berkeley Law Professors UC Berkeley Law Professors Daniel Farber and Jonathan Gould — experts on presidential power, constitutional law, and the U.S. Congress and the faculty directors of the law school’s Christopher Edley Jr. Center on Law & Democracy. Founded last fall after the death of the law school’s beloved former dean and national political and policy influence for decades, the center aims to defend and strengthen democratic institutions in the United States through actionable research and public leadership.Just a few weeks into the second administration of President Donald Trump, the center is convening expert panels to explore the implications of the president’s first moves — many of which are setting off alarm bells about the rule of law, the separation of powers, and even the strength of the U.S. Constitution itself. The center’s events archive has videos of these discussions. For the full transcript, show notes, and links, please visit this episode page on the Berkeley Law Podcast Hub.

In this episode, host Gwyneth Shaw talks with UC Berkeley Law Professors Katerina Linos and Elena Chachko about their new paper in the William & Mary Law Review, “Emergency Powers for Good.” In the article and a blog post on “Lawfare,” they discuss how emergency powers — often associated with overreach and authoritarianism — can be used in legitimate and transformative ways. The piece has drawn a strong reaction, including a comment in the Yale Journal on Regulation (and a response from the authors). “Berkeley Law Voices Carry” is a podcast hosted by Gwyneth Shaw about how the school’s faculty, students, and staff are making an impact — in California, across the country, and around the world — through pathbreaking scholarship, hands-on legal training, and advocacy. For the full transcript and show notes please visit the episode page.  Production by Yellow Armadillo Studios.
