Episode 44: Bridget Lavender discusses how UW Law's State Democracy Research Initiative untangles the complex web of state level constitutional and statutory research
Q: Can you give a sneak peek of whether there was an easy answer or not for use of masks during enforcement activities?
She notes there is no easy answer, with arguments on both sides, and highlights ongoing court considerations and the evolving nature of the issue across jurisdictions.
Episode 44: Bridget Lavender discusses how UW Law's State Democracy Research Initiative untangles the complex web of state level constitutional and statutory research
Q: What drew you to specialize in state constitutions and why do you think it matters now?
Lavender explains how state constitutions offer rights not always present in the federal constitution and how the Dobbs decision and shifting federal precedents have made state-level constitutional work increasingly important for protecting civil rights and shaping governance.
Elizabeth Manriquez Podcast Interiew - Episode 38
Q: How did your legal research background and your love of baseball come together for this project?
My background in baseball is deep and longstanding, and I connected it to law through research topics like antitrust and the careers of figures who straddle sports and law, which naturally led to Bowie Kuhn and the book project.
Andrew Turner Podcast Interview - Episode 37
Q: What does IRAC stand for exactly?
IRAC is an organizational method for legal arguments, outlining the issue, the applicable rules, the application to the facts, and the conclusion, with options like CRAC where the conclusion can come first.
