Hey, America.
Three cheers for independence, republican forms of government, universal suffrage, equality, inalienable rights, liberty, justice, and the rule of law.
See all this brilliant #legal #scholarship from clinical #lawprofs from around the US. I'm proud to have a few pieces here and to be a part of this vital, creative community of lawyers and professors.

We are living through a perilous time when our political and cultural discourse is riven with vitriol, venom, and condemnations. Democracy does not run well when we fear each other. At Pepperdine Caruso Law we have a few efforts to stand astride these divisions, to build and defend a better culture of engagement and dignity, and to teach students to discuss divisive issues constructively. Among those are the Open Conversations the law school hosts since 2015.

Thanks to the dean for sharing my essay/sermon preaching on it and calling us to a better road with ancient wisdom.

This month, the Washington University Jurisprudence Rev. is publishing my essay, A Sermon on the Law: The Jurisprudence of Love. It's an expansive, inclusive, Biblical call to lawyers and lawmakers to root law & policy in the divine dignity of all people.
