About this episode

Randall Stephenson discusses rethinking the comparison of legal systems through a dynamic lens of relationships.

Guest: Randall Stephenson (Max Planck Institute for the Study of Crime, Security and Law) For decades, the standard method for comparing legal systems around the world has been under fire. But what if the problem isn’t the method itself, but how we’ve been using it? On this episode of the Lawcast, Randall Stephenson argues that instead of abandoning our old tools, we need to completely rethink them. By drawing on everything from ancient philosophy to quantum physics, he reimagines law not as a static museum of rules, but as a dynamic, living web of relationships. Get ready for a fascinating conversation on how we view global law. Find out more: https://law.mpg.de/lawcast/?id=223721
