In this episode, Eric J. Segall, Ashe Family Chair Professor of Law at Georgia State University College of Law, discusses his forthcoming essay "John Roberts: Hubris-in-Chief." Segall reflects on the tension between Chief Justice Roberts's reputation as an institutionalist and the radical positions he has taken in many cases. He argues that this reflects a hubris that is bad for the Supreme Court as an institution, and reflects poorly on Roberts. In particular, Roberts's opinions in cases involving affirmative action and voting rights adopt aggressive positions and distort precedent in order to reach a desired result.

In this episode, Zachary D. Kaufman, Associate Professor of Law and Political Science at the University of Houston Law Center, discusses his article "Digital Age Samaritans," which is published in the Boston College Law Review. Kaufman begins by describing "bad samaritan" laws that impose liability on certain people who fail to report crimes or other harms. He observes that these laws are common, but rarely used, and poorly suited to modern form of digital communication. He discusses a case study of a sexual assault that was videostreamed live, and how bad samaritan laws could apply to digital bypasses. He also presents a model bad samaritan law for the digital age.
