This is a great podcast - very informative. Thanks for taking the time to put this together, Meredith! There is information on the new Equal Justice Works blog about the Higher Education Reauthorization and College Opportunity Act of 2008 was signed into law on August 14, 2008. It is separate from the CCRAA and it establishes four new loan forgiveness and repayment programs that benefit public interest lawyers.

Comment on Episode 6: A Conversation with Eric Blinderman about His Work in Iraq

The interview with Eric was very interesting. He is an enthusiastic guest that left me with the impression that he was more fearful of the risk of opening his restaurant Mas than going to Iraq. I commend him for his service to our country and to the wonderful service at his restaurant. Looking forward to your next interview.

An interesting podcast would be to address feminist legal theory and its responsiveness to issues of interest by Third-Wave feminist law students. Professor Bridget Crawford would be an excellent guest to discuss the perceived divisions between Second-Wave law professors and feminist law students. A group of law students presented interesting papers at the Baltimore Conference on Third-Wave feminism in law school. Perhaps a profesor-student discussion at The Slippery Slope could begin a very important discussion.

A second podcast idea would be to have Professor Deborah Post and Professor Carol Sanger together discuss their Contract casebooks. Both are well-respected feminist theorists; yet their case selections for the canon differ widely. It would be interesting to learn from a feminist point of view why particular cases are chosen to represent contract law.
