Yale Law School - Why Is It Ranked Number One?

Football’s 2022 World Cup kicks off in Qatar on Sunday, but the championship – the first to be held in an Arab country – is clouded by controversy even before it begins. First, allegations of corruption around the awarding of the World Cup to Qatar by FIFA, football’s governing body, with an FBI probe of leaders implicated in a bribery scandal. Then, reports of exploitation of Qatar’s migrant workers. And other human rights abuses – particularly against Qatar’s LGBTQ population. Homosexuality is illegal in the country. Dr. Naser Mohamed, a prominent Qatari LGBTQ activist, joins the program to discuss life and human rights inside the country. 

Also joining the show: journalist Roger Bennett, US House Democrat Jackie Speier, author Devi Lockwood, and Yale Law School Dean Heather Gerken.
