Understanding Common Law with Jeff Shafer
Summary
<p class="Default">What on earth is common law? In <em>Refining Rhetoric</em>'s last episode of 2022, Robert sits down with Jeff Shafer, the director of the Hale Institute, graduate of Regent University School of Law, former legal practitioner, and former senior counsel of Alliance Defending Freedom, to discuss the concept of common law and its relevance in recent Supreme Court decisions, including <em>Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization</em>. In the "Current Events Discussion," Robert asks, "Should the Department of Education exist?" using the classical tools of learning to break down this topic. Finally, Will McCreery briefly looks at where the NFT market stands now, pointing out several practical use cases for NFTs in the "Classical Crypto" segment.</p> <p>Show notes: <a href="http://refiningrhetoric.com/jeff-shafer">refiningrhetoric.com/jeff-shafer</a></p>
