Lawyers and legal scholars, recognizing the way the musical speaks to some of our most complicated constitutional issues, have embraced Alexander Hamilton as the trendiest historical face in American civics. \u003ci\u003eHamilton and the Law\u003c\/i\u003e offers a revealing look into the legal community's response to the musical, which continues to resonate in a country still deeply divided about the reach of the law. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA star-powered cast of legal minds--from two former U.S. solicitors general to leading commentators on culture and society--contribute brief and engaging magazine-style articles to this lively book. Intellectual property scholars share their thoughts on \u003ci\u003eHamilton\u003c\/i\u003e's inventive use of other sources, while family law scholars explore domestic violence. Critical race experts consider how \u003ci\u003eHamilton\u003c\/i\u003e furthers our understanding of law and race, while authorities on the Second Amendment discuss the language of the Constitution's most contested passage. Legal scholars moonlighting as musicians discuss how the musical lifts history and law out of dusty archives and onto the public stage. This collection of minds, inspired by the phenomenon of the musical and the Constitutional Convention of 1787, urges us to heed Lin-Manuel Miranda and the Founding Fathers and to create something new, daring, and different.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lisa A.
