Law Talk: Steven D. Smith and Law’s Quandary
posted by Nate Oman
I am happy to announce the inaugural episode of “Law Talk: The Legal Scholarship Podcast.” My guest for this episode is Steven D. Smith, the Warren Distinguished Professor of Law at the University of San Diego and the Co-Director of San Diego’s Institute for Law and Philosophy. In this episode, we discuss Steve’s book Law’s Quandary as well as his recently published lecture, “The (Always) Immanent Death of Law.” Along the way, Steve has some fascinating things to say about law, the state of legal philosophy, and what jurisprudence might (or might not) have to say to the “real” practice of law.

Very fine and useful podcast–I wish you much success–but the music, while beautiful, is wrong for your show. It’s more appropriate for, say, a wedding. Try something else.

Hello,
I have a Civil Stalking Protection Order against a non-family member. They have 14days to file an objection with the Franklin County Common Pleas Court; otherwise, it will be in full effect for 1 year.
My problem is, is that:
1. He signed certified mail receipt stating he lives two houses away from me–this was the court summons for our hearing date. The temporary CSPO was for 20 feet because I thought he lived next door to me. His signature was all the proof I needed to get the distance changed from 20 feet to 75 feet. I am a soft hearted person and did not feel comfortable evicting him.
2. He never showed up in court and I had a copy of the certified mail receipt showing “good service” was made. The magistrate/judge proceeded with the hearing. I presented my evidence and I was granted my CSPO.
3. He then gets thrown out of his home (two houses away from me) and moved next door to me (into is grandmothers house); which, is a violation of the protection order. He must stay 75 feet away from me at all times.
4. Everytime I call the police they give me grief saying that he lives next door and that their are photos of him on the walls their…etc. This is his grandmothers house–of course their are photos of him. Their are photos of me at my aunts, mothers, sisters, and uncles homes….but that does not mean I live their!!
What can I do to have this protection order ENFORCED!!??
