Justin here. With the semester either beginning or around the corner, I wanted to lift up a series of great videos (illustrated, annotated, featuring case text, etc.) that the incomparable Guy-Uriel Charles and Sasha Natapoff have pulled together. Leading scholars (and also me!) each explain and analyze the text of a different seminal Supreme Court case. The videos are all shorter than 15 minutes long, and as the series editors suggest, “can be used to supplement the traditional written casebook and/or to deepen students’ engagement with key cases and doctrines.”
The direct link is https://CRBW.law.harvard.edu, and it’s all free for educators and nonprofits. Just register on the website if you’d like to take a look. (For crim pro faculty, there’s a crim pro version too.)
The roster (so far):
- Tabatha Abu El-Haj on Reynolds v. Sims
- Guy-Uriel Charles on Lassiter v. Northampton
- Yasmin Dawood on Harper v. Virginia Bd. of Elections
- Luis Fuentes-Rohwer on Shelby County v. Holder
- Michael Kang on Citizens United v. FEC
- Ellen Katz on Thornburg v. Gingles
- Me on Shaw v. Reno
Get ’em while there’s still law to discuss!
