Common Law

Common Law

Though much divides us these days, there are still some things we all share in common. One of them is law. From the kind of health care we receive to the laws that determine what’s a ticket and what’s a court date, law is everywhere. “Common Law” gives insight into the laws around us and what’s next. This season, hosts Risa Goluboff and Leslie Kendrick focus on “The Future of Law.” Goluboff and Kendrick are dean and vice dean of the University of Virginia School of Law.
