Legal Commentary

Update: Here's an audio file of the conversation .

I thought the host and all the other guests raised important questions and points.

For those of you in the Seattle area or with access to radio on the computer, I'll be talking about shaming and the law on NPR's Seattle based Weekday show later this morning around noon Eastern. Prof. Martha Nussbaum will be on too, as well as Steve Calandrillo, a prawf at U.Wash.  It'll be nice to re-connect with them both.  I'll try to post a link to an audio file later on.

Here are some of the links spurring conversation:

• 'Bill Proposes Scarlet Letter for DUI's,' The Seattle Times
• 'Bill Dies, No Doubt from Embarrassment,' Yakima?Herald
• 'Hiding from Humanity: Disgust, Shame, and the Law,' Princeton
• Sign of the times
• 'Bad cop in Thailand? Say Hello to Kitty,' USA Today
• Regulation By Shaming
