While you are looking forward towards the Texas Supreme Court’s term starting up, you can look backwards at the work of the Supreme Court of the Republic of Texas in two episodes of my “Coale Mind” podcast:

– The Liberty to Sell a Slave reviews an 1843 opinion that invalidated the sale of a slave because of (seriously) economic duress in the transaction, and —

– The Case of the Missing Mule reviews another 1843 opinion, this time about the theft of Mr. Herbert’s mule by a Comanche raiding party, and considers how the principles in it helped shape the U.S. Supreme Court’s recent opinion about whether much of Eastern Oklahoma is an Indian reservation.
