Sam Williams on the Jokerfication of Law
Episode 827
Friday, 30 January, 2026
In this episode, Sam Williams, Associate Professor of Law and Reference and Instruction Librarian at the University of Idaho College of Law discusses several of his articles, including “The Law is Weirder than AI,” which was published in 2024 with the Hofstra Law Review, and “The Jokerfication of Law,” which was published with Hedgehogs and Foxes. Williams discusses how these pieces shed light on the nature of the weird and the eerie in law and legal scholarship, and how professors should think of their roles in an increasingly chaotic world. He also shares his thoughts on weird and silly legal scholarship, the place for such scholarship in the broader legal academic literature, and inspirations for his work—including Ipse Dixit’s very own Brian Frye. Williams is on Bluesky at @sawilliams.bsky.social. This episode was guest hosted by Michael Smith, Associate Professor of Law at the University of Oklahoma College of Law.
