Jason Schwalm is a magna cum laude graduate of the University of Louisville-Brandeis School of Law, where he was an Associate Articles Editor of the University of Louisville Law Review and a member of the Brandeis Honor Society. His academic writing can be found in the Ohio Northern University Law Review and the Journal of Animal and Environmental Law. Jason is currently researching an article exploring legal and moral themes in A Tale of Two Cities. In it he argues that, while scholars typically paint Dickens as mistrustful of lawyers, legal institutions and human nature, A Tale of Two Cities is actually a powerful endorsement of the rule of law. The excesses and injustices of revoluntionary Paris stand in contrast to the imperfect, but functional, British court system. Ultimately, a Tale of Two Cities is a cautionary tale, and a reaffirmation of the central premise of modern legal systems: that procedural justice must always precede substantive justice.
