Description

On UnCommon Law, legal issues, public policy, and storytelling collide. We'll explore the most important legal stories of the day: Will lawmakers be able to rein in artificial intelligence before it's too late? Can the government ever consider race in college admissions? How much power do federal agencies have to make the rules that shape our lives? Can you sue a haunted house for being too scary? Produced and hosted by Matthew S. Schwartz. Winner of the American Bar Association's Silver Gavel Award for Media and the Arts
