Ratio·LSE Law School·20 May 2025·1h 1m

About this episode

How does the law shape our culture? Is education a neutral endeavour? Or, can an analysis of how one learns the law uncover the world-making nature of legal education? In this episode of Ratio, Professor Susan Marks asks these questions to Dr Jacco Bomhoff who provides an insightful analysis of the German legal system. The episode also explores Jacco's work on the conflict of laws.
