Talking the Talk

Check out our faculty’s comments in the media.

Full Honors, Finally “ His name was stained, and we needed to cleanse that stain.” Professor Rose Zoltek-Jick “83 Years After His Killing, a Black Soldier Gets an Army Funeral” The New York Times March 25, 2024
TikTok Double Standard “The question is, ‘Why ban TikTok and not the activities and the surveillance carried out by other companies in the United States?’” Professor Elettra Bietti “TikTok Has Promised to Sue Over the Potential US Ban. What’s the Legal Outlook?” Associated Press April 25, 2024
Crisis Not Averted “It’s like saying we need more doctors, but ignoring the more important issue of why so many people are sick.” Professor Hemanth Gundavaram “A New Immigration Court Is Set to Open in Mass. Will It Help the Immense Backlog of Cases?” The Boston Globe, February 25, 2024
Go Wide “ It’s absolutely true that most classes use the case law model. That’s the consistent model they get used to. But a lot of students aren’t going to be litigators. Classes that expose them to a wide range of issues like licensing materials, contracts, waivers, insurance forms, etc., set them up to think about different careers.” Professor Alexandra Roberts “Swift Justice: Students Learn About the Law Through Taylor Swift Cases” ABA Journal, February 14, 2024
Picture This “ What were the framers trying to do? What they were trying to do was stop insurrectionists, particularly those in the Civil War. That aim and spirit seems to apply directly here.” Professor Jeremy Paul “ The Constitution Bars Insurrectionists from Office. SCOTUS May Let Trump Run Anyway” “Greater Boston,” GBH, February 12, 2024
Body Politic “ They’ll say, ‘Life begins at fertilization,’ but that’s not really what it’s about. It’s about constraining people’s decision-making once they have something in their body.” Professor Katherine Kraschel “The Fight Over I.V.F Is Only Beginning” The New Yorker, March 3, 2024
Conspiracy vs. Cover-Up “ We’re all like rubberneckers, watching for the next bombshell. People want to know — is she a calculating killer or a damsel in distress?” Professor Daniel Medwed “‘A Calculating Killer or a Damsel in Distress?’ The Trial Transfixing Boston” The New York Times, May 15, 2024
