The Law School Real Talk Series by the Houston Law Review was developed to provide useful and actionable advice to first-year law students regarding the many unknowns of Law School. On this episode of the series, I am joined by Houston Law Review members Drew McKay and Kirsten Williams as we discuss our experience and advice on how to navigate the legal market as a law student. Our guests provided a balance of experience and interest between big law firms and the public sector, with Drew planning to litigate at Hunton Andrews Kurth upon graduation, Kirsten to Clerk for judge Andrew Edison of the Southern District of Texas, and my plan to be a transactional attorney for Latham & Watkins. Drew, Kirsten, and I discuss the entirety of the hiring process for law students while providing our own tips, tricks, and advice along the way, from where to search for job opportunities, to networking, applying, interviewing, and more.

Federal Vaccine Mandates and Requirements: Navigating a Pandemic of Litigation

Emphasis Added is a podcast by the Houston Law Review. Check out this episode in video on our YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDK03FEAP2lTdm4syp02ChA
On this month's episode of Emphasis Added, I spoke with University of Houston Law Center Professors Seth Chandler and Valerie Gutmann Koch about the on-going litigation surrounding the federal COVID-19 vaccine mandates, their constitutionality, and the arguments we’ve already seen and are poised to see regarding their validity. Professor Chandler has taught at UHLC for over thirty years in subjects such as constitutional law and health policy law among others and has testified twice in front of Congress regarding the Affordable Care Act. Professor Koch is the co-director of the UHLC Health & Policy Institute and was formerly the Special Advisor and Senior Attorney for the New York State’s bioethics commission where she crafted policy and guidance related to pandemic preparedness among other things. Professors Chandler and Koch provide a wealth of expertise and insight as we delve into the litigation surrounding the OSHA vaccine requirement in particular, assess the constitutionality of that requirement along with vaccine requirements in general, and explore the future of the litigation as it likely heads to the Supreme Court, and how the outcome of the Nation’s response to vaccine mandates could have long term implications for public health.
