New Talking Legal History Podcast: Paul Finkelman

Did you know ASLH has a podcast? It’s true! Talking Legal History is hosted by Siobhan M. M. Barco, a former litigator and current doctoral student in history at Duke University, whose work focuses on the space where law, gender, and print culture intersect.

In her most recent episode, she interviews Paul Finkelman, President of Gratz College, about his book Supreme Injustice: Slavery in the Nation’s Highest Court. Finkelman is a specialist on the history of slavery and the law. He is also the author of more than 200 scholarly articles and the author or editor of more than fifty books on a broad range of topics including American Jewish history, American legal history, constitutional law, and legal issues surrounding baseball.
