NEW YORK, Dec. 6, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- SiriusXM
announced today the launch of Stanford Legal, a
new bi-weekly show that will get to the core of some of the legal
issues making headlines today. Stanford Legal, part of
SiriusXM's programming arrangement with Stanford University, will premiere on SiriusXM
Insight channel 121 starting Saturday, December 9, 2017 at
10:00 am ET.
Co-hosted by Stanford Law Professors Pam
Karlan and Joe Bankman, the
series will feature engaging conversations with attorneys, legal
scholars, and leading experts on the news-making topics of the day
including the commercialization of marijuana, the power of
prosecutors, President Trump's travel ban, and more.
"Sometimes, legal issues can seem complex. Our job on
Stanford Legal is to help our listeners make sense of what
the law is, why it's that way, and what changes we should hope
for…or fear. It's a great opportunity for SiriusXM listeners
to hear from our amazing colleagues, each of them an expert in an
important field," said Pam
Karlan.
"Demonstrating how law touches every aspect of our lives and
sharing that understanding with a broader audience is exciting.
We are thrilled to participate in this endeavor," said M.
Elizabeth Magill, Dean of
Stanford Law School.
"The legal news of the day is often complicated and can have
profound effects on our lives. Stanford Legal will help
decipher and explain those key issues in a stimulating and
entertaining way," said Scott
Greenstein, President and Chief Content Officer, SiriusXM.
"Our listeners across the country will benefit greatly from
Stanford Legal's expert guests, ranging from leading
scholars to news makers, and the host's remarkable ability to
demystify today's complex legal issues."
One of the nation's leading experts on voting and the political
process, Stanford Legal's Pam
Karlan is often called upon by policy makers and popular
media alike to break down the tough legal issues of the day. Also a
leading constitutional scholar and award winning teacher who has
argued seven cases before the U.S. Supreme Court, Karlan co-founded
Stanford's Supreme Court Litigation Clinic in 2004, the first of
its kind at any law school. Since its launch, the clinic has
compiled a record that would be the envy of any law firm,
representing parties in more than 60 merits cases before the
Court.
Co-host Joe Bankman is a clinical
psychologist as well as a lawyer who researches topics such as the
consumption tax and the role of tax in the structure of Silicon
Valley start-ups. A tax law expert, he has gained wide attention
for his work on how government might control the use of tax
shelters and has testified before Congress and other legislative
bodies on tax compliance problems posed by the cash economy. He has
written and spoken extensively on how we might use technology to
simplify tax filing.
SiriusXM's Stanford Radio also airs The Future of
Everything, School's In and Stanford
Pathfinders.
