 Today, the American Bar Foundation (ABF) launches our new podcast: Whose Law Is It Anyway? Whose Law Is It Anyway? explores social issues and legal challenges through conversations with the ABF’s community of researchers and practitioners. Join host Matthew Martinez Hannon as he goes beyond the headlines and into our classrooms, courtrooms, and homes to learn how empirical and interdisciplinary research matters in everyday life. Echoing the ABF’s motto, “Expanding Knowledge and Advancing Justice,” the podcast offers an in-depth exploration of sociolegal subjects such as access to justice, rent and housing, civil rights, and sexual consent on college campuses. New episodes of Whose Law Is It Anyway? will be published monthly. Episodes are available wherever you get your podcasts.

And how will the COVID-19 pandemic compound these problems?
