  Aug 18, 20261h 16mS2

  In this episode, Professor Lopez talks to a diverse group of six of his former students from four different law schools about what to expect - really! - during the year and strategies for navigating it successfully and with - hopefully! - a smile on your face. Jacob Martinez, (Arizona State University College of Law alum, 2026), Nikki Fordey (Arizona State University College of Law alum, 2026), Elizabeth Butterworth, (Harvard Law School alum, 2022), Diane Solorio (Yale Law School 2027), Dr. Emahunn Campbell (Rutgers Law 2021), and Claudia Sanchez (Rutgers Law alum, 2025) answer the whole range of questions: Are you ready for law school? Is it hard to move to a different city for law school? Does the movie Paper Chase get it right about intimidating law school professors? What is imposter syndrome and how do you beat it back? Can you crash and burn on a cold call and survive? (Hint: Yes!) What about all the reading? Can you do well and build community? What about ableism in law school? Are there unique challenges facing first generation law students? Are the challenges facing returning second career and K-JD students the same? Should I take a clinic? I know law school can be stressful, what steps can I take to maintain wellness and mental health? This podcast is for educational purposes only.

  Part II: How the Supreme Court's Term-End Decisions on Birthright Citizenship, Asylum and Temporary Status Will Impact Communities, Mixed-Status Families and Migrants: The Human Impact in Mexico with Nicole Ramos and Tran Dang

  Jul 24, 20261h 2mS2

  Often the U.S. media fails to cover fully the full human impact of the increasingly punitive immigration system on our own communities, much less the reverberating humanitarian crisis in Mexico and other countries. For this episode, Professor Lopez is joined by two advocates, both originally from the U.S. working transnationally for non-profit humanitarian out of Mexico, Nicole Ramos, co-founder of Al Otro Lado working out of Tijuana, Mexico, and Tran Dang, founder of the Rhizome Center in Guadalajara, Mexico, who explain the full scope of this crisis, including for mixed-status families, resulting from (a) mass detention and deportation policies, and the (b) the effective administrative nullification of longstanding statutory pathways for amnesty and other forms of humanitarian relief, created consistent with international human rights law following World War II.

  Can Conservatives Defend America’s Multi-Billion-Dollar Immigration Enforcement System? A Conversation with Cato Institute's Director of Immigration Studies David Bier

  Jun 19, 202647 minS1

  As part of an ongoing series examining the increasingly costly and draconian immigration enforcement system from a range of angles (including family and religious conscience), David Lopez sits down with David Bier, Director of Immigration Studies and the Selz Foundation Chair in Immigration Policy at the Libertarian Cato Institute, to discuss our broken and immigration system. Our guest explains how the current system centered on criminalization and deportation has cost taxpayers billions, stripped millions of migrants of legal status, betrays traditional conservative principles of free markets, fiscal responsibility, and small government, and why he compared the plans for escalating mass deportations to "ethnic cleansing."

  Did the Supreme Court just complete the gutting of the iconic Voting Rights Act of 1965? A conversation with Todd Cox, Associate Director and Counsel of LDF

  Jun 11, 202653 minS1

  The Supreme Court's recent decision in Callais v. Louisiana has raised questions as to whether this was the latest of several decisions eviscerating the landmark and transformative Voting Rights Act of 1965, often called the "crown jewel" of the civil rights era. We are joined by Todd Cox, Associate Director and Counsel of LDF and long-time civil rights attorney, to explain why the Supreme Court's most recent voting rights decision threatens equitable representation of Black and other voters of color, and how the recent pilgrimage of thousands to Selma and Montgomery, Alabama, ground zero for the historic civil rights struggle, to protest the decision promises to revitalize and re-engage citizens to vote and speak up.
