Bickering Peaks: A Twin Peaks Podcast

"Let's kill all the lawyers" is one of the most famous lines from Shakespeare, but what did the bard really think about the legal system? And more importantly, how is it presented in his plays? This episode is all about examining that angle of Shakespeare's work, looking at how different plays and characters interact with, talk about, and interpret the law. We also discuss the questions of morality inherent in any discussion of justice, as well as provide a bit of background and information on the multiple different court systems in existence in Shakespeare's time.
