Four professors at the University of Virginia School of Law are joining the school’s podcast, “Common Law,” as co-hosts with Dean Risa Goluboff for the fourth season.

The show will return Feb. 3 with Goluboff and Cathy Hwang serving as the first episode’s hosts. Professors Danielle K. Citron, John C. Harrison and Gregory Mitchell will also rotate through co-hosting duties this season, which is called “Co-Counsel.”

Goluboff’s co-host for the first three seasons, Professor Leslie Kendrick ’06, is taking a break from podcasting. To fill that gap, Goluboff wanted to feature professors with diverse experiences who would help choose guests and topics for the show.

“That’s why we decided to call this season ‘Co-Counsel,’” Goluboff said. “All our co-hosts are bringing their own expertise to the table and adding their own flavor — and it’s been so much fun to record.”

Guests this season include UVA law professors Aditya Bamzai, Quinn Curtis, Kristen Eichensehr, Mitu Gulati, Andrew Hayashi, John T. Monahan and Megan T. Stevenson. Graduates Doriane Nguenang ’21, an associate at Baker McKenzie, and Neil Richards ’97, a professor at the Washington University in St. Louis School of Law, will also be featured. Other legal scholars scheduled to appear as guests include Anita L. Allen of the University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School, Elizabeth F. Loftus of the University of California at Irvine, Tom R. Tyler of Yale Law School, Jennifer Mascott of the George Mason University Antonin Scalia Law School and Tara Leigh Grove of the University of Alabama.

Who will interview whom? Make your guesses now. Episodes will post every two weeks throughout the spring and summer.

“We’ll have episodes on law and psychology, privacy, national security law, administrative law, constitutional law, tax, sovereign debt, financial regulation and more,” Goluboff said. “There’s so much variety, and it’s been a pleasure to meet legal scholars who were influential to our own faculty here at UVA Law.”
