I'm Erwin Chemerinsky, Dean of Berkeley Law, and this is "More Just," a podcast about how law schools can and must play a role in solving society's most difficult problems.

I've been a law school dean for more than a decade, and a constitutional law professor for 40 years. But things seem different today. The problems facing society and the world seem harder and more intractable: Threats to our democracy. The rise of authoritarianism. The vast peril of climate change. Yawning wealth disparities and racial inequalities. 

In each episode of "More Just," we'll start with a problem, then explore potential solutions. You'll hear from me, as well as other Deans, professors, students and advocates, about how law schools and the legal profession can matter. 

We hope this podcast will have broad appeal. Not just to those of us in legal academia, but also to anyone with an interest in solving our toughest problems.
