🎙️ The Trojan Horse of Liberalism: When Law Fails the Vulnerable

In this episode, Halifax lawyer Shawn A. Scott examines how liberal legal ideals—neutrality, autonomy, privacy, and consent—collapse under the weight of domestic violence. What if the very doctrines designed to protect freedom actually entrench domination? Drawing from cases in Canada, the U.K., the U.S., and Australia, Scott argues that domestic violence is not an anomaly but the stress test of liberal modernity itself.

Through a blend of philosophy and courtroom realism, the episode exposes how “neutral” judgments can become complicit in coercion, how “consent” can sanctify captivity, and how “privacy” can conceal abuse. The conversation builds toward a structural horizon—one where truth, love, and justice re-anchor the law’s moral authority.

This is not merely a critique of legal doctrine—it’s a call for conscience within the architecture of justice.
