About This Podcast

The legal world is a tumultuous one, and to comprehend it, we must get to the heart of the matter. We must endeavor to understand the principles of judgment upon which the decisions that shape our personal and public lives are based. Before we can ask "what ought to be?" we must ask "what is?" To do this, we need the Natural Law. Profs. Hadley Arkes & Gerry Bradley are the preeminent Natural Law scholars of our day. And with over 80 years of experience between them, not only will the Natural Law Moment podcast place you in the room with them, but it will also teach you to think like them.
