Show Cause is the official podcast of the University of Memphis Cecil C. Humphreys School of Law.
Oftentimes, an order to show cause requires a party to give a judge more information to help explain something to the court.
There's no judge here, but there is a lot of information (and misinformation) out there these days. This is our attempt at helping explain some of the things happening across the cultural and legal spectrums, with insight from our faculty, students, alumni, and community partners.
This episode features two individuals who have helped redefine what a family looks like in the 21st century United States. The first is a leading voice at the intersection of family law, constitutional law, and LGBTQ rights—Douglas NeJaime, the Anne Urowsky Professor of Law at Yale Law School. Our second guest is our very own Professor Regina Hillman, a member of the Obergefell v. Hodges legal team, which was the U.S. Supreme Court case that led to the nationwide legalization of same-sex marriage in 2015.
In today's episode, we get into some great conversations about what a family and parenting looks like in America today, as well as the impact of courts decisions regarding family and parenting beyond the LGBTQ space and the ways in which many of these related cases help to shape the country's evolving definition of what a parent truly is.
Whether you're a legal scholar, a student, or simply someone interested in how the law shapes everyday life, this is a conversation you won't want to miss.
