Law in Contemporary Society
-- JackSherrick - 17 Feb 2021

I've been considering several ideas that may be the subject of my 1000 page essay. I thought I would share a few of them here.

What does it mean for a lawyer to never be far from evil? (Question derived from Lawyerland) (Feb 16 Supplementary audio 48:00)

Why do religious adherents who rely upon a Holy book of laws follow secular laws? What kinds of psychological gymnastics are going on there? (Question derived from Max Weber, Calvin, my hometown community)(Look most closely at the Folklore of Capitalism, Lawyerland)

Is a government of laws governed by reason a (false/unattainable/pointless/worthy) ideal? (Derived from Transcendental Nonsense and the fickleness of the courts)

Is legalese necessary to understand legal concepts or is it merely a gatekeeping mechanism by which to exclude the uneducated from legal discourse? (I think it's both) (Derived from a comment Emens made in Contracts and a conversation I had on the etherpad with someone)

How to apply the doctrine of Cy Pres in a way that promotes the public good without exonerating the legacies of racist grantors. (derived from a comment Julianna made in Property)
