Walter Olson joins Aaron and Trevor to discuss the evolution of discrimination law in the American legal system.
Walter Olson joins Aaron and Trevor for a discussion on the evolution of discrimination law in the American legal system. They talk about common carrier obligations, preferential treatment and employee discrimination suits, the disparate impact of anti-discrimination laws--especially in hiring decisions--and the role of law schools and academia in perpetuating this cycle.
What happens when laws create more injustice than they fix? Is America "overlawyered"?
Walter Olson is a senior fellow at the Cato Institute’s Center for Constitutional Studies. Prior to joining Cato, Olson was a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute, and has been a columnist for Great Britain’s Times Online as well as Reason.
