Question of the Week

We want to hear from you


Do you read novels?

Do you have any favorite legal novels? Can reading literary fiction help lawyers develop more empathy? Or do reading such works warp your mind a little bit? Answer in the comments.

Read the answers to last week's question: Should SCOTUS arguments be livestreamed?

Featured answers:

Posted by Sigmond333: "[The] fact that releasing it early this time didn't cause problems doesn't mean anything because nobody knew it was going to happen. If it's livestreamed, the court will never get through arguments on significant cases because they will have protesters shouting out the whole time, which the media will show, causing more protesters the next time. If they are only streaming audio, it might not be such a problem."

Posted by splyb: "Yes, absolutely. The argument that cameras and audio gear would be overly intrusive and distracting was never a good argument to begin with, but now it is utterly absurd. Playing to the cameras? Doubtful, and those that do will pay a steep price."
