In a people’s court, prosecutors and defense attorneys are absent and individuals represent themselves. These courts are often referred to as “inferior courts” or lower courts, because of the simplicity of what they handle and the simplicity in the way they function, but they can play an important role, allowing us to rethink legal theory and the way the judicial system operates. Dr. Vincent Luizzi and Dr. Audwin Anderson of the Texas State Philosophy department dive into the topic of people’s courts with Dr. Farinas and Dr. Baltzly, discussing the way people’s courts operate and how they can influence change in the way we view justice and law. Dr. Luizzi’s book Appeal to the People's Court: Rethinking Law, Judging, and Punishment is expected to be released in May For further reading, we also recommend Logical Method and Law by John Dewey

Women in Prison By Kimberly Clay Graphic by Kimberly Clay The United States has the highest incarceration rate in the world, with 2.3 million people in American prisons, and in the past few decades there has been an unsettling increase of women in prison. In this podcast, we cover the topic of injustices faced by women in the prison, the role of motherhood when families are separated by the justice system, and the power of feminism in a place that strips power and dignity from incarcerated individauls. You can now check out the documentary The Grey Area: Fmeinism Behind Bars from the Alkek library thanks to Rebecca Farinas, Craig Hanks, and other faculty members of the Texas State University Philosophy department.
