In this episode, we sit down with Professor Rebecca Wexler to discuss the intersection of privacy laws and the criminal justice system. States around the country are adopting new, stricter privacy laws, in response to a growing awareness of just how much personal and important data companies are keeping about consumers, and how vulnerable that data is. But those privacy laws have flaws that are significantly impacting our criminal justice system, and our ability to provide fair trials.

This episode is the first of a two part series examining the complexity of addressing homelessness.

California's Climate Future - Part II

This episode is the first in a two-part series exploring California's past, present, and future in addressing the existential threat of climate change. In this episode, we talk with UCLA Professor Cara Horowitz about what's at stake as greenhouse gases rise, both globally and in California, particularly in light of a recent report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change describing the crisis. We also talk with UCLA Professor William Boyd about SB 100, a bill passed last year by the California legislature that commits California to 100% renewable energy by 2045. The bill modifies California's Renewable Portfolio Standard, a regulatory tool that encourages states to procure more renewable resources. Through our conversations in this first part of the series, we get a sense of both the gravity of the climate crisis, as well as one of California's proposed regulatory solutions.

California's Climate Future - Part I

In this episode of Dialectic, we talk with Professor Claudia Polsky from UC Berkeley Law School about her recently published article in the UCLA Law Review, Open Records, Shuttered Labs: Ending Political Harassment of Public University Researchers. Prof. Polsky describes the rise of politically motivated groups using state open records laws to target and harass researchers at public universities with opposing ideologies. These groups use open records laws to retrieve countless documents related to a researcher's work, creating an enormous administrative burden. Further, she argues the misuse of open records laws impacts the quality of academic research and the freedom that researchers have to investigate society's most controversial and challenging issues. Prof. Polsky concludes by discussing her detailed legislative proposal to combat the abuse of open records laws and protect university researchers from political harassment while still maintaining the integrity and spirit of open records laws.

Hey everyone! Muneeba, David, and Chris, the Volume 65 hosts of Dialectic, give a quick preview of what to expect this fall.

Dialectic: Fall 2017 Preview

The official podcast of the UCLA Law Review. In each episode of Dialectic, we discuss a legal topic from a recent or forthcoming UCLA Law Review article. Often we do this by interviewing our published authors about their legal academic work. On occasion, we ask other academics and professionals to comment on our published pieces. By speaking with both our own authors and leaders in other, nonacademic fields, we hope to generate an ongoing dialogue that will supplement our print journal and be interesting to a variety of listeners.
