New Podcast Episode: Didactic and Inculcatory
Dan and I discuss the children cases -- Mahmoud and Free Speech Coalition.
The latest episode of Divided Argument, Didactic and Inculcatory, is now up:
We look at the final orders list before summer break, and then continue to work through last month's opinions, this time with an extended analysis of two decisions about children and culture wars -- Mahmoud v. Taylor (religious objections to LGBTQ+-inclusive books) and Free Speech Coalition v. Paxton (age verification for accessing online pornography).

While I understand their disparaging comments about ERISA may be attempts at some humor, I wish the hosts would take ERISA law and lawyers more seriously. ERISA is an incredibly important and complicated part of law, affecting almost anyone that receives health or retirement benefits from a private employer. ERISA was also a great standardization of law, allowing multi-state employers to provide consistent benefits to their workface, regardless of which state the employees are based in. I spent most of my career in employee benefit related businesses. Having competent ERISA counsel was critical to a lot of the work we did and making sure we were serving our clients and their plan participants well. It's hard for companies to find ERISA attorneys. I would encourage law students to consider specializing in ERISA law as a good career path.
