Profiles in Leadership | Dickinson College President John Jones

I had the privilege of interviewing Judge John E. Jones III, President of Dickinson College and former U.S. District Judge for the Middle District of Pennsylvania. We covered many topics, from his Pennsylvanian roots and his journey to making partner, to his experiences on the federal bench and as Chief Judge. Judge Jones also shared insights on the landmark Kitzmiller v. Dover case, his leadership at Dickinson, and the importance of legacy. It was an inspiring conversation about life, leadership, and the "Dickinson Advantage." #leadership #lawyer #JudicialIndependence #highereducation #dickinsoncollege https://youtu.be/AWmuYelMQPo

Profiles in Leadership | Matt Sag & Tonja Jacobi

I recently had the pleasure of interviewing Professors Matthew Sag and Tonja Jacobi, both distinguished faculty members at Emory University School of Law. Professor Sag, an expert in copyright law, AI, and machine learning, shared his insights on the intersection of these fields. Professor Jacobi, a specialist in Supreme Court judicial behavior and public law, discussed her empirical studies on judicial and advocate behavior. We began by discussing legal education in Australia and the US, international perspectives on law and legal practice, and career choices. Our conversation then shifted to the challenges and rewards of navigating collaborations in academia and beyond. We discussed their recent article, "We are the AI Problem," thought leadership and the role of academics in shaping the law. #EmoryLaw #LegalEducation #AIandLaw #copyright #judicialbehavior #publiclaw #judicialpolitics https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GlklLhfJ_ak For more insights from leaders in our series, check out our complete podcast collection here: https://dickinsonlaw.psu.edu/profiles-leadership
