Private Law Theory

In this episode, Shubha Ghosh, Crandall Melvin Professor of Law at Syracuse University College of Law, discusses his work on the legal history of intellectual property. He begins by describing the book he is currently editing on intellectual property law for Edward Elgar Publishing, including its beginnings in the Forgotten IP symposium published by the Syracuse Law Review. He also discusses his contribution to the book, ‘“If Music Did Not Pay”: The State Court Roots of Justice Holmes’ Intellectual Property Jurisprudence’, which reflects on how Justice Holmes’s experiences as a state supreme court justice affected his perspective on intellectual property law and informed the opinions he wrote as a Supreme Court justice (podcast).
