In this episode, L. Joe Dunman, Assistant Professor of Legal Studies at Morehead State University, discusses his article "The Devil in Recent American Law," which is published in the Pace Law Review. Dunman begins by observing that, at least in theory, courts are supposed to be agnostic about question of religious belief. But in practice, courts have long applied different standards to Satanism than other religions. He surveys different areas of the law in which courts have wrestled with Satanism and when it is admissible in court. And he reflects on how courts should treat Satanism, based on neutral principles. Dunman is on Twitter at @JoeDunman.

Lex Phonographica 6: Lawrence Lessig, The Law of the Horse: What Cyberlaw Might Teach (1997)
Ipse Dixit

In 1996, Judge Frank H. Easterbrook of the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit delivered an address at the University of Chicago titled "Cyberspace and the Law of the Horse," which was published in the University of Chicago Legal Forum. In his address, Easterbrook mocked the idea of conceptualizing "cyberlaw" as a discrete field of legal research. Drawing on Gerhard Casper's similar dismissal of studying "the law of the horse," Easterbrook argued that legal scholarship should instead focus on identifying unifying themes and general theoretical principles.
In 1997, Lawrence Lessig responded to Easterbrook's criticisms in an article titled "The Law of the Horse: What Cyberlaw Might Teach," which was published in the Harvard Law Review. Among other things, Lessig argued that the law of cyberspace is different from other specialized areas of law, and may reward study in ways they do not.

In 2016, the Harvard Law Review published an essay by Charles Colman titled "About Ned." Here is the abstract:
In this essay, I explore the possibility that the storied article "The Right to Privacy," 4 Harv. L. Rev. 193 (1890), might have come into existence in part because of lead author Sam Warren's powerful drive to protect his younger siblings -- and, in particular, his gay brother Ned. For reasons both obvious and less intuitive, Sam might have viewed the article as a promising vehicle for shielding Ned and the rest of the Warren family from potentially devastating journalistic and public scrutiny of Ned's sexuality.Viewed in this light, the article acquires a special resonance in this, its one hundred twenty-fifth anniversary. Rhetoric central to the piece can be traced, link by link, case by case, to Supreme Court decisions that collectively established a multifaceted constitutional right to personal autonomy. The article can arguably be understood as a catalyst for the series of events culminating in the Supreme Court's 2015 recognition, in Obergefell v. Hodges, of a constitutional right to same-sex marriage.If "The Right to Privacy" is indeed about Ned, even in part, then what originated as an effort to protect one gay man might, quite remarkably, be a 125-year-old precursor of the Court's decision securing the protection of a fundamental right for gay people throughout the nation.This episode of Lex Phonographica was read by Brian L. Frye.
