SUMMARY:New York Fellows Hybrid Lunch Program
DESCRIPTION:This event is free to attend. Open to Fellows and nominees only. Registration is now open! \nTo attend this program in-person\, all guests should be fully vaccinated  \nFeatured Presentation: “The Paradox of Africa’s International Courts” with 2022-23 ABF William H. Neukom Fellows Research Chair in Diversity in Law Professor James Thuo Gathii  \nEstablished as engines of market liberalization or trade courts\, Africa’s international trade courts have instead become promoters of human rights\, the rule of law\, good governance\, the protection of the environment and lately free and fair elections. The legacy of these post-cold war courts challenges the precedence of trade over human rights in other regional trade courts as well as in the World Trade Organization. Relying on case law from trade courts in East\, West and Southern Africa\, this presentation will show how human rights causes have been advanced and promoted within trade integration courts. Ultimately\, the presentation will explore the implications this has for how we should think of classic paradigm of international courts that is based on a strict division of between those that specialize in human rights and those that specialize in trade matters. \nLunch available at 12:00 p.m.\nPresentation to commence at 12:30 p.m. \nThe Fellows gratefully recognize:

SUMMARY:San Diego Fellows Breakfast Program
DESCRIPTION:$10 per person. Open to Fellows and nominees only. \nFeatured Presentation: “The Impact of Gruesome Photographs on Mock Jury Decisions” with Nathaniel L. Nathanson Professor of Law at Northwestern University and American Bar Foundation Research Professor\, Janice Nadler.  \nIn both civil and criminal proceedings\, judges and juries are faced with a barrage of evidence and argument displayed in visual form – sometimes gruesome in nature. This project investigates how emotionally evocative modes of visual evidence can affect the psychology of jurors’ decision making processes\, through influence on emotions\, attention to evidence\, and legal judgments at the individual and group level. We developed a video of a simulated trial in a murder case\, and recruited community members to participate in mock juries either in person (pre-pandemic) or on zoom (post-pandemic). We found that viewing gruesome photos make jurors more conviction prone. Jury deliberation in person attenuated these affects. Surprisingly\, jury deliberation online exacerbated the conviction prone tendencies of jurors exposed to gruesome photos. We will explore various interventions such as color v. black-and-white photos\, and jury instructions as a potential safeguard.

SUMMARY:Speaker Series: Kevin Kenny
DESCRIPTION:Today the United States considers immigration and border control a federal matter. Before the Civil War\, however\, the federal government played virtually no role in regulating immigration. \nIn this presentation\, based on his recently published book The Problem of Immigration in a Slaveholding Republic: Policing Mobility in the Nineteenth-Century United States\, (Oxford University Press\, 2023)\, Kevin Kenny will demonstrate how the existence\, abolition\, and legacies of slavery shaped the emergence of a national immigration policy in the nineteenth century. For a century after the American Revolution\, states controlled mobility within and across their borders and set their own rules for community membership. Throughout the antebellum era\, defenders of slavery feared that\, if Congress gained control over immigration\, it could also regulate the movement of free black people and even the interstate slave trade. The Civil War and the abolition of slavery removed the political and constitutional obstacles to a national immigration policy\, yet they did not make that policy inevitable. The first national immigration controls were directed not at immigrants generally\, but at Chinese immigrants in particular. Admission remained the norm for Europeans; Chinese laborers were excluded through techniques of registration\, punishment\, and deportation first used against free black people in the antebellum South. The federal government continues to control admissions and exclusions today but tensions within federalism\, rooted in nineteenth-century history\, remain important to the lives of immigrants after arrival. Some states monitor and punish immigrants\, while others offer sanctuary and refuse to act as agents of federal law enforcement\, echoing the personal liberty laws passed in response to fugitive slave acts in the antebellum era. Revealing the tangled origins of border control\, incarceration\, and deportation\, this presentation sheds light on the history of race and belonging in America\, as well as ongoing conflicts between state and federal authority over immigration today. \nThis speaker will present virtually\, with the option to view in-person at the ABF. To register\, contact Sophie Kofman at skofman@abfn.org.  \n_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ \nKevin Kenny is Glucksman Professor of History at New York University.

SUMMARY:Speaker Series: Desiree Fields
DESCRIPTION:“Robot landlords are buying up houses.” Headlines like this one are not unusual these days. What are we to make of digital experiments with landed property? These experiments are wide-ranging\, encompassing the sale of tokenized fractional interests in LLCs attached to rental properties\, the brokering of land sales via Facebook livestream\, and metaverse environments that can defy the laws of physics yet remain wedded to market rule. In this talk\, Fields works toward an analysis of digital experiments with landed property in terms of the global\, the historical\, and the geographical. The yoking of property to modernity and civilization makes technological progress a fundamental part of how relationships to land are constituted and reconstituted\, and in whose interests\, throughout global capitalism. \nThis speaker will present virtually\, with the option to view in-person at the ABF. To register\, contact Sophie Kofman at skofman@abfn.org.  \n__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ \nDesiree Fields is an Associate Professor of Geography and Global Metropolitan Studies at the University of California\, Berkeley. Her research revolves around the role of housing in capitalist urbanization. She studies how efforts to render immoveable property into liquid capital unevenly restructure urban space and social relations\, and the urban struggles for justice that arise to contest this process of financialization. She aims to challenge the storied complexity of finance and its tendency to obfuscate public understanding through demystifying and concretizing the operations of financial capitalism in urban housing markets. She has opened up what financialization means for rental housing\, showing how it has deepened\, diversified\, and expanded globally with the aid of a wave of advances in digital technology in the post-2008 era. At its core\, her work is about how these processes of economic and technological change unevenly restructure urban space and the social relations of housing. Her scholarship speaks to developments that are central to the future of cities: the growing importance of finance to capitalism\, the turn to increasingly market-driven approaches to housing and urbanization\, and the digital revolution. \nShe has published widely on the relationships among housing financialization\, movements for justice\, and digital platforms in journals like Progress in Human Geography; Economic Geography; Housing\, Theory\, and Society; International Journal of Urban and Regional Research\, and; Urban Studies.

SUMMARY:Speaker Series: Katrina Jagodinsky
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Katrina Jagodinsky will offer an overview of the database her NSF-funded team is building in the Center for Digital Research in the Humanities at UNL to discern trends and patterns in marginalized people’s use of habeas in the American West over the long nineteenth century. ABF scholars will be invited to offer input regarding the encoding structure of the database\, and will be asked to contribute to a peer review and discussion of an in-progress article focused on early findings of women’s use of habeas. \nFor access to the related article draft\, please reach out to Sophie Kofman (skofman@abfn.org). \n\nTo register\, contact Sophie Kofman at skofman@abfn.org.  \nKatrina Jagodinsky is the Susan J. Rosowski Associate Professor of History. She is a legal historian examining marginalized peoples’ engagement with nineteenth-century legal regimes and competing jurisdictions throughout the North American West. Jagodinsky’s first book Legal Codes & Talking Trees: Indigenous Women’s Sovereignty in the Sonoran and Puget Sound Borderlands\, 1854-1946 explains the strategies of six women seeking to protect their bodies\, lands\, and progeny from the whims of settler-colonists in the tumultuous process of westward expansion and conquest. \nJagodinsky has also published a number of articles and essays that examine the efforts of Indigenous and mixed-race women and children to leverage the American legal system in the nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries. “A Testament to Power: Mary Woolsey and Dolores Rodriguez as Trial Witnesses in Arizona’s Early Statehood\,” won the 2012-2013 Jerome I. Braun Prize for Best Article in Western Legal History\, and “A Tale of Two Sisters: Family Histories from the Strait Salish Borderlands\,” won the 2017 Jensen-Miller Prize for Best Article in Western Women’s & Gender History from the Western History Association. \nHer current focus is on her role as Graduate Chair for the History department and her research project Petitioning For Freedom: Habeas Corpus in the American West\, which is a collaboration with the Center for Digital Research in the Humanities that is funded by the National Science Foundation.

SUMMARY:New York Fellows Hybrid Lunch Program
DESCRIPTION:This event is free to attend. Open to Fellows and nominees only. \nTo attend this program in-person\, all guests should be fully vaccinated.  \n“Trust me\, I’m a Lawyer!”\nFeaturing: \nNigel J. Balmer: Research Direcot\, Victoria Law Foundation; Honorary Professor of Laws\, University College London \nCatrina Denvir: Associate Professor\, Monash University \nIn 2002 the American Bar Association published research on consumer perceptions of lawyers.[1]. The findings did not make for easy reading: whilst knowledgeable about the law\, lawyers were seen by the American public as ‘greedy\, manipulative and corrupt’. Such views point to a fundamental mistrust of the legal profession that is not unique to America\, with the ‘Global Trust in Professions’ survey revealing that the majority (three-quarters) of respondents across the globe view lawyers as untrustworthy. Scandals involving high profile lawyers and law firms\, including that of ‘Lawyer X’ in Australia\, are all said to undermine public confidence. But is the outlook really so bad and can a few bad apples spoil the bunch? Using findings from a new large-scale survey with the public and an in-depth qualitative study with lawyers\, this presentation explores what we mean by trust\, what people think of lawyers if we ask better questions\, the role that costs play\, and how better lawyer-client communication may help turn the tide of public opinion. \nLunch Available at 12:00 p.m.\nPresentation to commence at 12:30 p.m. \nThe Fellows gratefully recognize:

SUMMARY:Speaker Series: Michael Ralph
DESCRIPTION:The resurgence of interest in the role chattel slavery has played in US capital growth has been marked by an abiding emphasis on the Cotton Kingdom. Highlighting the 19th century sector that arguably generated more wealth than any other—with enduring implications for governance and the management of difference—scholars have trained their emphasis on the Mississippi River Valley. One implication of this approach is that scholars have focused on the role between coercion and productivity\, generally arguing for a direct correlation. It is worth noting that the same period that witnessed tremendous brutality in the service of greater productivity in the US Cotton Kingdom witnessed unprecedented mobility and enhanced working conditions for enslaved workers in other industries\, namely those operating in hazardous enterprises\, artisanal professions\, and those working as bureaucrats. Violence constituted these dynamics\, especially the structural violence and intimate partner violence that social scientists tend to associate with freedom in capitalist societies and not merely the naked force they tend to associate with chattel slavery. In what follows\, I examine the distinct forms of intimacy and partnership that emerged during this period alongside economic transformations that changed how enslaved people experienced affinity and gained expertise\, besides shaping how they were used as capital. I use the term “commercial affinity” to explain how violence and social mobility became intertwined in unprecedented ways during the last few decades of legalized slavery. \nTo register\, contact Sophie Kofman at skofman@abfn.org.  \nMichael Ralph is a Professor and Chair of the Department of Afro-American Studies at Howard Univeristy. Dr. Ralph’s research integrates political science\, economics\, history\, and medical anthropology through an explicit focus on debt\, slavery\, insurance\, forensics\, and incarceration. He is currently at work on two books that center on slavery\, insurance\, and incarceration.

SUMMARY:Speaker Series: Philip Thai
DESCRIPTION:Shortly after intervening in the Korean War (1950–53)\, the People’s Republic of China faced an array of economic sanctions by the United States and the United Nations. The nascent regime vowed to “oppose the American imperialist policy of economic blockade against our country\,” and it sought to break what it denounced as an illegal and illegitimate embargo by any means necessary. One front in this campaign was the British colony of Hong Kong\, where the People’s Republic hired a lawyer by the name of Percy Chen to work with its many front companies and file lawsuit after lawsuit challenging the U.S. embargo. At first glance\, Chen seemed an unlikely figure to serve as legal counsel for Communist China. An Afro-Asian anglophile and a thoroughly bourgeois barrister who lived on the margins of the British empire\, Chen found himself at the center of China’s legal offensive during a critical moment in the Cold War. This talk looks at Chen’s life and legal work during the early 1950s\, retracing how he wielded colonial law as a weapon to chip away at the U.S. embargo and thereby circumscribe its reach. More broadly\, it situates Chen’s role within the vast shadow economies of Greater China during the Cold War and explores the creative ways assorted actors leveraged the legacies of empire for survival and profit. The presentation is based on a draft chapter of Professor Thai’s forthcoming book\, In the Shadows of the Bamboo Curtain. \nTo register\, contact Sophie Kofman at skofman@abfn.org.  \n______________________________________________________________________________________________ \nPhilip Thai is an Associate Professor of History and Asian Studies\, as well as the Director of Asian Studies\, in the College of Social Sciences and Humanities at Northeastern University. Thai is a historian of Modern China and East Asia with research and teaching interests that include legal history\, economic history\, and diplomatic history. He is the author of China’s War on Smuggling: Law\, Economic Life\, and the Making of the Modern State\, 1842-1965 (Columbia University Press and a Study of the Weatherhead East Asian Institute\, 2018). During the 2022-23 academic year\, he will be in residence at the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study as an American Council of Learned Societies (ACLS) Frederick Burkhardt Fellow working on his new project\, “In the Shadows of the Bamboo Curtain: Underground Economies across Greater China during the Cold War.” At the core of Professor Thai’s inquiries is understanding the complex interplay between law\, society\, and economy. His interdisciplinary work has been supported by a number of organizations\, including the ACLS\, American Philosophical Society (APS)\, Fulbright-Hays Program\, Social Science Research Council (SSRC)\, Chiang Ching-kuo Foundation\, among others.

SUMMARY:Speaker Series: Tabitha Bonilla
DESCRIPTION:Despite theory that contrasts substantive and descriptive representation\, the measurement of descriptive representation almost always invokes substantive representation to determine if policy focuses are more likely to shift the status quo of a district to policies that favor particular groups. While it is clear that descriptive representation has a complicated relationship with producing policy shifts\, it is nevertheless important for redirecting policy under certain circumstances and for mobilizing Black and Latine communities. We believe that colloquially\, unlike in academic treatments of representation\, voters describe a more complex web of representation. Here\, we examine descriptive representation as a component of substantive representation. To test this hypothesis\, we use interviews\, descriptive survey data\, and a survey experiment to demonstrate how descriptive and substantive representation work in tandem. \nTo register\, contact Sophie Kofman at skofman@abfn.org.  \n__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ \nTabitha Bonilla studies political behavior and communication and broadly examines how elite communication influences voter opinions of candidates and political policies. In particular\, her work focuses on how messaging polarizes attitudes or can bridge attitudinal divides with substantive focuses on important topics in American politics ranging from gun control to human trafficking and immigration. Her work incorporates a range of quantitative methods including experiments and text analysis. \nBonilla earned her Ph.D. in political science in 2015 from Stanford University. She then worked as a postdoctoral scholar and teaching fellow in the political science department at the University of Southern California through 2016.

SUMMARY:Speaker Series: Linda Zhao
DESCRIPTION:Although it is frequently argued that recruiting minority officers can improve policing by fostering positive contact and collaborations between minority and white officers\, officer diversity could in theory also produce more racially polarized networks and thus have the opposite of the intended effect. Few studies so far consider how officer networks differ across policing contexts\, and little is known about the link between the diversity of police workforces\, the structure of officer networks\, and policing outcomes. In this study\, I use data from the second-largest police agency in the United States to analyze joint implications of officer diversity and racial homophily\, defined as barriers to racial mixing in officer co-arrest networks\, for police misconduct. Results show that levels of racial homophily are higher in districts with more diverse officer workforces\, and that the combination of homophily and diversity is linked to an elevated risk of police misconduct\, even after controlling for other explanations of misconduct at both the officer and district level. These patterns contradict the idea that diversifying police forces necessarily improves the internal dynamics of police forces and is consistent with the broader sociological insight that the benefits of diversity are challenged by racial homophily within social networks. \nTo register\, contact Sophie Kofman at skofman@abfn.org.  \n_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ \nLinda Zhao’s research focuses on how social contexts (such as levels of diversity or inequality in a population) can shape intergroup dynamics in social networks\, how social networks and social contexts are linked to our behaviors and decisions\, and how such networks can generate inequality. Her projects investigate intergroup dynamics\, inequality\, and social influence in networks within the areas of immigrant integration\, policing\, and public health. Zhao’s current work leverages data from a range of contexts such as adolescent friendships in classrooms\, officer networks in police departments\, as well as quasi-experimental settings using computational models. Prior to joining the University of Chicago\, Zhao was a Frank H.T. Rhodes Postdoctoral Fellow at the Cornell Population Center.

SUMMARY:Speaker Series: Amalia Kessler
DESCRIPTION:Although arbitration has deep roots in the United States\, the first half of the twentieth century witnessed a remarkable surge of enthusiasm for this extrajudicial dispute-resolution procedure\, giving rise to legislative and institutional experiments at multiple levels of government. A broad range of actors and interests embraced arbitration as key to the revitalization of American democracy in a modern age beset by pressing new challenges of industrialization\, urbanization\, and immigration. Arbitration\, they argued\, facilitated new forms of private/public partnership that would enable expanded\, lawyer-free access to justice and give voice to disempowered groups—ranging from small-scale business organizations and labor unions to Jewish communal minorities. The end result\, they hoped\, would be to generate a more socially expansive and culturally pluralist society\, refashioning American democracy for the modern industrial era. \nRecovering this forgotten history of arbitration reveals the surprising role that this seemingly technical and abstruse procedure played in two key developments that profoundly transformed the United States roughly a century ago and whose legacies remain with us to this day—namely\, the rise of the modern administrative state and the emergence of cultural pluralism as a defining\, though contested feature of American society. \nTo register\, contact Sophie Kofman at skofman@abfn.org.  \n______________________________________________________________________________________ \nAmalia Kessler is the Lewis Talbot and Nadine Hearn Shelton Professor of International Legal Studies\, the Associate Dean for Advanced Degree Programs\, a Professor\, by courtesy\, of History\, and the Director of Stanford Center for Law and History at Stanford Law School. \nA scholar whose research focuses on the evolution of commercial law and civil procedure\,  Kessler seeks to explore the intersections between law\, markets and dispute resolution—with a particular focus on the forces that have shaped the nature and origins of modern capitalism.  She is currently working on a new book\, tentatively entitled “The Public Roots of Private Ordering: Arbitration and the Remaking of the Modern American State\,” the research for which is supported by a Guggenheim Fellowship in Constitutional Studies\, as well as a fellowship from the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences.  In 2018\, her book\, Inventing American Exceptionalism: The Origins of American Adversarial Legal Culture\, 1800-1877 (Yale University Press\, 2017) received the American Society for Legal History’s John Phillip Reid Book Award for the best English-language monograph by a mid-career or senior scholar on Anglo-American legal history.

SUMMARY:Speaker Series: Michael Jin
DESCRIPTION:February 19\, 2023 marks the 100th anniversary of the Supreme Court’s ruling in United States v. Bhagat Singh Thind\, which followed Ozawa v. United States. This talk honors the history of Asian Americans and their struggle for US citizenship amid pervasive anti-Asian xenophobia in the early twentieth century.\nThe landmark 1922 Supreme Course case Ozawa v. United States stamped the legal status of immigrants from Japan as “aliens ineligible for citizenship\,” bolstering the intense exclusion movement based on the powerful Orientalist representation of Asians as unassimilable foreigners. This movement to police the racial boundaries of citizenship not only excluded Asian immigrants from American citizenry\, but also threatened the citizenship rights of U.S.-born Asian Americans. In their concerted effort to strip Asian Americans’ birthright citizenship\, leading anti-immigrant agitators deployed the same xenophobic rhetoric to argue that U.S.-born Japanese Americans should be treated as Japanese nationals. Japanese Americans’ struggles to protect the integrity of their birthright citizenship demonstrate that exclusionary legal measures designed to stop the influx of Asians did not simply affect the immigrant generation. Focusing on the experiences of Japanese Americans throughout the 1920s\, 1930s\, and 1940s\, this talk explores the complex and bizarre consequences of the pervasive anti-Asian xenophobia in the American West that rendered many Americans of Japanese ancestry stateless and subject to legal exclusion as “aliens ineligible for citizens.” \nTo register\, contact Sophie Kofman at skofman@abfn.org.  \n_____________________________________________________________________________________ \nMichael R. Jin is an Associate Professor of History and Global Asian Studies. His areas of specialization include migration and diaspora studies\, Asian American history\, transnational Asia and the Pacific world\, critical race and ethnic studies\, and the history of the American West. \nHis book\, Citizens\, Immigrants\, and the Stateless: A Japanese American Diaspora in the Pacific (Stanford University Press)\, uncovers the stories of more than 50\,000 U.S.-born Japanese Americans in the former Japanese colonial world in Asia who drew the U.S. West into the larger histories of nations and empires in the Pacific before\, during\, and after World War II.  \nHis current research documents the experiences of Korean survivors of the nuclear holocaust in Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945 that illuminate the legacies of Japanese colonialism\, shifting geopolitical dynamics of the Cold War U.S. nuclear umbrella\, and the postcolonial politics of redress across the Pacific. His second book project opens a window into the lives of Iranians and Koreans in diaspora and the transnational circuits of change in multiple regions that intersected in their lives. This project explores the unexpected convergence of national histories\, shifting immigration policies\, and volatile geopolitical upheavals across West Asia\, East Asia\, and North America.

SUMMARY:Speaker Series: Kathryn Takabvirwa
DESCRIPTION:My talk examines policing in Zimbabwe\, with particular focus on encounters between police officers and people they pull over along the country’s roads. It centers on a five-year period during which Zimbabwean police mounted semi-permanent official roadblocks on roads throughout the country\, such that to be on the road was to be stopped and inspected\, repeatedly\, by the police. Through a close examination of experiences at these roadblocks\, I ask how people’s conceptions of themselves are reconfigured by intensive policing. \nTo register\, contact Sophie Kofman at skofman@abfn.org.  \n_____________________________________________________________________________________ \nKathryn Takabvirwa is a social and cultural anthropologist. Her research centers on policing\, citizenship\, migration and mobility\, governance\, and the state in Southern Africa. She is interested in the ways people reconcile themselves to the idea of the state and of citizenship in light of histories of state violence. She is currently working on a book manuscript on police roadblocks in Zimbabwe. The ethnography presents a close examination of encounters between the police and those they stopped along Zimbabwe’s roads between 2012 and 2017\, the period during which official police roadblocks proliferated throughout the country. Tentatively titled How to Ask for a Bribe\, the book also explores experiences of commuting\, as well as the policing of street vendors. \nShe is also interested in the politics of representation\, and in the role of African fiction in interrogating and generating Africanist theories of power\, intimacy\, and citizenship. This summer\, she will begin preliminary fieldwork on her second project\, on marriage and mobility in contemporary Southern Africa. \nTakabvirwa has also written on xenophobic violence in South Africa\, following research on local governance and migration with scholars at the African Center for Migration and Society\, in Johannesburg.

SUMMARY:Speaker Series: Nayan Shah
DESCRIPTION:The presentation examines how and when U.S. Federal Courts intervene in the treatment of hunger strikers in Guantanamo\, California State Prison\, and Immigrant Detention. In each instance\, defense attorneys and prosecutors debate prisoner protest and prison policy that justifies forcible intervention. Legal processes provide an airing of prisoner grievances and public communication of concealed prison struggles. However\, the outcomes of judicial decision-making\, lean heavily on medical expertise and biopolitical measures in ways that foreclose prisoner rights and consent and dodge the causes of conflict. \nTo register\, contact Sophie Kofman at skofman@abfn.org.  \n_____________________________________________________________________________________ \nNayan Shah’s research examines historical struggles over bodies\, space and the exercise of state power from the mid- 19th to the 21st century.His scholarship advances our understanding of comparative race and ethnic studies\, LGBTQ studies\, and to the history of migration\, public health\, law\, and incarceration. Shah is the author of two award-winning books – Stranger Intimacy: Contesting Race\, Sexuality and the Law in the North American West (University of California Press\, 2011) and Contagious Divides: Epidemics and Race in San Francisco’s Chinatown (University of California Press\, 2001). His new book\, Refusal to Eat: A Century of Prison Hunger Strikes is the first global history of hunger strikes as a tactic in prisons\, conflicts and movements around the world. (University of California Press\, 2022).  \nShah is at work on two long-term book projects. The first is a comparative study of transnational spiritual migrations\, gender and intimacy in the early twentieth century United States that examines Muslim\, Catholic and Hindu missions and the development of interracial spiritual communities in Los Angeles\, Detroit\, Chicago and Seattle. The second examines migration and art-making and examines the ways that Asian\, Indigenous and Latin American diasporic artists forge relationships of belonging\, refuge and vulnerability with physical landscape and the built environment through art practices of photography\, installation\, archive and performance.

It follows these lawyers through a combination of survey data and in-depth interviews that show how lawyers make meaning in their personal and professional lives. Although all American lawyers belong to one profession\, the book demonstrates that there are deep divisions by client type and practice setting and that women and lawyers of color continue to face barriers to equal opportunity. \nModerated By: \n\nDarrell Mottley — National Fellows Chair | Attorney\, Banner-Witcoff\n\nPanelists: \n\nBryant Garth— ABF Interim Executive Director | Distinguished Professor Emeritus\, UC-Irvine\nRobert L.

SUMMARY:Speaker Series: Hajin Kim
DESCRIPTION:A major critique of ESG and stakeholder capitalism is that corporate voluntary efforts to reduce environmental harms and help society will reduce public pressure for formal policy reform. Because companies are already working to solve their problems\, government regulation appears less necessary. Previous empirical studies have found mixed results on this question. Using real examples of firm efforts and proposed legislation\, we empirically test whether voluntary efforts in the real world crowd out support for government regulation. I will present one completed study and our design for a second. \nTo register\, contact Sophie Kofman at skofman@abfn.org.  \n_____________________________________________________________________________________ \nHajin Kim is an Assistant Professor of Law at the Law School. She uses principles from social psychology and economics to study environmental law. Her work examines how moral and social influence can shape environmental regulation and firm behavior. \nHajin received her BA in economics\, summa cum laude\, from Harvard\, her JD from Stanford Law School\, and her PhD from Stanford’s Emmett Interdisciplinary Program in Environment and Resources. Before attending Stanford\, Hajin worked for the Boston Consulting Group. She also clerked for Judge Paul Watford of the US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit and Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg of the US Supreme Court.

SUMMARY:Fellows Breakfast at the Louisiana State Bar Midyear Meeting
DESCRIPTION:$30 per person. Open to Fellows and nominees only.  \nFeatured Speaker: Innocence Project New Orleans Exoneree\, Robert Jones \nMore than 23 years ago\, Robert Jones was convicted of robbing\, kidnapping and raping a woman in 1992 in Orleans Parish and then soon after pleaded guilty to a pair of other crimes\, one of which included killing a tourist in New Orleans’ French Quarter in 1996. Thanks to the help of the Innocence Project New Orleans\, Jones was exonerated of those crimes. The Orleans Parish District Attorney’s Office announced that it would not retry him for the 1992 crimes and vacated the other charges to which he’d falsely pleaded guilty. \nThe Innocence Project New Orleans (IPNO) started working on Jones’ case seven years earlier. Over the course of those years\, attorneys there uncovered evidence which pointed to grave injustice in how then-prosecutors handled Jones’ case\, including loss of exculpatory DNA evidence and “steering of a witness” in the 1992 case\, writes the Advocate. IPNO also learned that there was absolutely no evidence linking Jones to the other cases to which he’d been advised by his attorney to plead guilty. \nThe Fellows gratefully recognize:
