Lisa Hahn is a Ph.D. Candidate at the Faculty of Law, Humboldt University Berlin (Germany). Her dissertation explores conditions of social change through strategic litigation in Germany. In this project she develops the idea of ‘litigation collectives’ as key factor for the success of strategic claims. During her research stay at the Center for the Study of Law & Society, Lisa will be working on a comparative chapter that juxtaposes the expansion of strategic litigation as a particular mode of legal mobilization in the US, Germany and on the transnational level. Besides her primary focus on courts, litigation and social movements, she is further interested in feminist legal studies, migration studies and socio-legal research methods. Lisa is a lawyer by training but was familiarized with research methods in social sciences through her work in an ethnographic research project on migration and German administrative law between 2016 and 2017. In 2018, she co-founded the graduate network Socio-Legal Lab. Through workshops, summer schools, film screenings and informal get-togethers, the Socio-Legal Lab provides a space to discuss the challenges of interdisciplinary research on law and society. Moreover, she is a member of the project group of the Integrated Research Institute “Law & Society” at Humboldt University Berlin. (1/6/20 – 4/30/20) lisa.hahn@rewi.hu-berlin.de

Mel Greenlee received her PhD in Linguistics and her J.D. from the University of California-Berkeley. Subsequently, she conducted research on language acquisition, bilingualism and other sociolinguistic topics at CUNY’s Centro de Estudios Puertorriqueños, UCLA and Stanford, before returning to academia as a law student, where she focused on criminal defense and immigration law. Later, as a senior staff attorney at the California Appellate Project (CAP) in San Francisco, her defense work of over two decades centered on legal assistance to California capital appeals and in habeas corpus matters, aiding the ever-growing number of prisoners sentenced to death in challenging their convictions and sentences at the post-conviction stage. For many years, she has also conducted trainings and workshops on the role of language in capital trials and presented linguistic analysis of courtroom language to U.S. and international fora, addressing, for example, interpreter error, implications of prosecutors’ arguments, defense objections, and the role of language in determining a defendant’s competence to stand trial or for self-representation. Her work has appeared in such diverse journals as Language & Law/Linguagem e Direito, Applied Psycholinguistics, and the Journal of Pragmatics. Currently, having retired from her CAP attorney role, she continues her research and publication on sociolinguistic aspects of criminal cases, particularly as these affect capital proceedings.

Dana Hayward is a doctoral candidate in the Department of Sociology at Yale University. Her research explores the culture-shifting potential of the law – in other words, the power of the law to alter social norms and values. However, it can be difficult to study the cultural impact of legislation empirically, as laws both shape and are shaped by their cultural contexts. In her work, Dana suggests that a comparative analysis of close votes offers a promising solution to this dilemma. Drawing on insights from quasi-experimental research design, she argues that legislative decisions that pass or fail by narrow margins allow for comparisons in which levels of cultural support for law reform are held constant. While in residence at the Center, Dana will be working on her dissertation, which asks: How does legislative change affect the framing of moral issues? She conducts a qualitative comparative-historical analysis of four narrowly approved or defeated citizens’ initiatives that appeared on the ballot in the Western United States between 1990 and 1998. In each case, she compares how the issue was framed before, during, and after the approval or defeat of the measure, focusing particularly on media, political, and social movement discourses. She looks specifically at legislation in the issue areas of physician-assisted death and parental notification of abortion, as these issues raise similar sociological and ethical questions about bodily autonomy, informed consent, and the power of the state to regulate life and death. Dana holds an M.A. in Sociology from Yale, as well as an M.A. in Political Science and a B.Soc.Sc. (summa cum laude) in International Development and Globalization from the University of Ottawa. More information about Dana’s research can be found at www.danahayward.com. (8/12/19-8/11/20) dana.hayward@yale.edu

Gwendolyn Leachman is an Assistant Professor of Law at the University of Wisconsin Law School and a Faculty Affiliate with the Sociology Department at the University of Wisconsin.

Michihito Iseda is a professor of law at Kwansei-Gakuin University where he teaches Corporation Law, Securities Regulations, and other law subjects. He has two LL.M. degrees in both the U.K. and the U.S., and is awarded Ph.D from Kobe University. He has a particular interest in the legal duty of corporate directors as fiduciaries of shareholders. He has written a series of articles on the fiduciary duties of corporate directors in different contexts.
He is also qualified as a lawyer (Bengoshi) in Japan. As he developed his practical work, he began to think that the legal concept of the director’s fiduciary duty should be better understood by the Japanese people, and the investor’s class action system is necessary in order to enforce it. Korea and Taiwan already have such a system. Recently, the Japanese government has enacted a regulation which gives consumer groups the right to bring a class action. He believes that the introduction of the class action system for investors come true in the near future. (8/12/19-1/15/20) isedamic@gmail.com, iseda@kwansei.ac.jp

Her study interests move to different fields: social movements, political economy of punishment, crime prevention, race and racism from a political and criminological points of view. Her graduation thesis was focused on Bologna housing squats and on that particular form of protest that is the block of evictions. Her master thesis was related both to the empirical study of some criminal preventive measures (precautionary measures ante-delictum) and on some more theoretical aspects of the so called “Dialectic of the criminal and the political”. The dialectic was related to the investigation of the actual politicization process of the criminal question hypothesizing how, on the other side, would be possible to politicize the social composition ri-aggregating it on political definition rather than criminal. Eventually with her phd project work she’s tryng to understand the functioning mechanisms of the italian administrative personal preventive measures through an empirical documental research conducted on the special survilliance ordinances imposed in the city of Bologna from 2011 to 2018 by “preventive” judges. The reasearch is tryng to stress for istance the concept of social dangerousness, safety and security, abitual delinquency. (8/22/19-12/14/19) veronica.marchio@unibo.it

Brandon M. Finlay is a PhD candidate in Sociology at Indiana University, Bloomington. His research focuses on the processes by which people, places, and things transcend a state of liminality, and transition from illegitimate to legitimate, and/or illegal to legal. For example, his master’s thesis examined how a quasi-legal organization (i.e. medical cannabis dispensary) sought legitimacy from broader society, despite the fact they violated some set of laws in doing so. In this case, understanding how cannabis became stigmatized at the macro level, and how it continues to be destigmatized at all levels of society, helps us to better understand how legal and social change comes to be. His dissertation project focuses on understanding how the formerly incarcerated use higher education as a tool to reshape how they view themselves and how they are seen in broader society. These efforts to understand decriminalization, destigmatization, and legitimation processes are directly tied to his own experiences as a formerly incarcerated person. (8/18-8/19) bmfinlay@iu.edu

Louise Brangan is a PhD candidate in the Law School at the University of Edinburgh and is a Visiting Fulbright scholar at CSLS for fall 2015. She has a BA in Sociology and Philosophy (2005) and an MA in Criminology (2009). Her interests are in politics, sociology of punishment and penal reform.

While at CSLS Louise will continue her research, a comparative investigation of how political culture shapes and influences the uses of imprisonment, focusing specifically on Ireland and Scotland between 1970 and1998. Ireland and Scotland provide an interesting point of departure in the comparative study of penality as during this period neither country is considered to have followed the punitive turn observed in other English speaking countries. Combining archival research and biographical interviews with (often retired) civil servants, the work aims to reconstruct the thinking styles and sensibilities that animated the many actors invested with political and policy-making power. While at the Center Louise will begin to develop a descriptive analysis of how these evolving sets of complex and contrasting values and beliefs are influential in shaping the variegated, convergent and divergent patterns of penality.

Her current research is funded by a Faculty Research Scholarship from the UCL Faculty of Laws and is conducted under the supervision of Professor Philip Schofield (Director of the Bentham Project). Her dissertation focuses on the works of Lord Kames, William Blackstone, and Jeremy Bentham and explores how different legal historical methodologies influenced and were used to support different legal theories and legal sciences in eighteenth-century Britain. She examines the legal theory that each man espoused – Blackstone’s natural law, Bentham’s utilitarianism, Kames’s common sense – and compares how these theories influenced their proponents’ studies of legal history and, ultimately, their understanding of what the law was and what they believed it ought to be. k.gourlay.12@ucl.ac.uk

Sarah Horton is Associate Professor of Anthropology at the University of Colorado, Denver.

She has published in journals such as American Anthropologist, American Ethnologist, Social Science & Medicine, and Political and Legal Anthropology Review, and was awarded the Steven J. Polgar Prize by the Society for Medical Anthropology in 2011.

Based on a decade of ethnography in a migrant farmworking community in California’s Central Valley, the book situates unauthorized farmworkers’ occupational vulnerability within the context of a national trend towards governing immigration through crime. Specifically, it examines how the trend towards the criminalization of immigration-related conduct, such as migrants’ working with fake or fraudulent documents, expedites the process of value transfer from unauthorized migrants to employers and the state. More broadly, she is interested in unauthorized migrants’ lay practices of documentation, how they render migrants selectively visible or invisible to the state, and the work and benefit consequences of migrants’ invisibility.

Giulia Fabini is a doctoral candidate in the “Renato Treves” International PhD program in Law and Society at the University of Milan (Italy). She graduated in Political Science from the University of Bologna, where she is an honorary fellow in criminology. Since 2011 she has been a member of the “European Group for the Study of Deviance and Social Control”. Since 2012, she has taken part in the “Center for studies and research on the sociology of criminal law, deviance and social control” at the law school of the University of Bologna. She is currently conducting her doctoral research under the direction of Prof. Dario Melossi about undocumented migration control mechanisms in Bologna (Italy). Her focus is on police and judges’ practices and rationales when implementing the law, as well as strategies of resistance by undocumented migrants. The main argument is that Italian illegal immigration law enforcement rests on continuous, discretionary decisions made by police officers during territory control activity, which is then possibly validated by minor judicial officials (justices of the peace). “Acceptable levels of illegality” are continuously negotiated by the social actors in an ongoing process of informally setting the “rules of the game”. Practices and rationales of police and judges, immigration law, and its symbolic role are considered. The research uses qualitative and quantitative methods and is intended as a foucauldian ascending analysis of power from the micro- to the macro-mechanisms of control. Fabini’s scholarly interests range widely, from the sociology of law to critical criminology to sociology of police to political philosophy to migration studies, with an interest in post-colonial and gender studies. giulia.fabini@unimi.it

Alethea Sargent received her Ph.D. from the Departments of Anthropology and American Studies at Yale University and her J.D. from Stanford Law School. Her dissertation, which she is currently revising as a monograph, examines the construction of social identity among older homeless women in Boston-area shelters. It argues that women’s identity work was performed in response to shelter structures and in order to resist them, but that this resistance ultimately led to the reproduction of homelessness and poverty. Revision of the manuscript while at CSLS involves research into the legal and administrative structures in which the shelter system is embedded. More broadly, Alethea is interested in the potential role of anthropology in informing lawmaking and policymaking. alethea@post.harvard.edu

Jay Borchert is currently a PhD candidate in the Department of Sociology and a Population Studies Center Trainee at the Population Studies Center of the Institute for Social Research, at the University of Michigan Ann Arbor. Recently awarded the Eva L. Mueller New Directions In Economics and Demography Fund Grant to facilitate his research, Jay’s dissertation focuses on the philosophies that guide the practice of Corrections in the United States to include how and why these knowledge frameworks may reshape and refine inequality for prisoners, those working in corrections, and communities. Over the last 4 years Jay has worked with professors David Harding and Jeffrey Morenoff, as part of the Michigan Study of Life after Prison research team, to examine the neighborhood context of prisoner reentry. In his current work,Jay is conducting interviews with high-ranking correctional officials nationwide. The goal of the project is to determine the effects of the Prison Rape Elimination Act of 2003, and its Standards or Final Rule of 2012, upon correctional orthodoxy and praxis, institutional culture, prisoners and correctional staff.

Pedro H. Butelli is a researcher at FGV Law School. He is a graduate at the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro, where he studied Industrial Engineering, and holds an MA in Economics at EPGE – Fundação Getúlio Vargas, where he is a PhD candidate. His MA dissertation was focused on the empirical measurement of the impacts of the UPPs – Unidades de Polícia Pacificadora (Pacifying Police Units) on academic performance of children in the public schools of Rio de Janeiro. This law enforcement/social services policy, which focuses on reclaiming territories which once were dominated by gangs of drug dealers, has the potential of creating significant changes for the share of Rio’s population which live in the favelas. The next step in his research, which will be developed during his stay at CSLS, is the impact evaluation of the UPPs on violence by measuring changes in the temporal and spatial distributions of different types of crimes in Rio de Janeiro. He is also interested in establishing causality and measuring the impacts of legal change and social policies in general, such as evaluating the impact on marriage and separation rates of new divorce laws in Brazil. pedrobutelli@gmail.com

Yukyong Choe received both LL.M. and JSD degrees from the UC Berkeley School of Law, in 2008 and in 2011. Before she came to Berkeley, she received her Master in International Law and was a Ph.D. candidate in Constitutional law at College of Law, Seoul National University in Korea. While her early interest covers multi-culturism and citizenship policy of Korea which is also ongoing, her current research area mainly encompasses legal profession, legal education and legal reform of Northeast Asian countries. Her dissertation, titled “Politics, Conflicts, and Power Redistribution of the Modern Legal Complex: The Legislative Process of Reform of the Korean Legal Profession,” focuses on diverse agencies shown in the reform of the legal professional training system of Korea. Through many in-depth interviews, she highlighted those agencies’ roles, struggles, and choices that have affected the post-reform legal education system, especially from 1995 to 2007, concluding that the Supreme Court and a small group of legal academics played a decisive role in transforming the Korean legal education system to a U.S.-style law school system. At the Center, she is expanding her research on recent legal reform to inter-Asian countries, including Japan, China and Taiwan. She is also participating in a project called “Reforms and Socio-political Changes in Contemporary Korea” sponsored by AKS-UCB in 2011-2012.

Jodi Short is Associate Professor at Georgetown Law. Her research is on the nexus of public and private institutions in regulatory governance. She is currently working on a series of empirical papers examining the effects of corporate internal compliance auditing on regulatory performance. Her work also addresses theoretical justifications for and critiques of regulation, exploring tensions in the U.S. administrative state between cooperation and coercion, expertise and politics, and public and private interests. While in residence at the Center for the Study of Law and Society this fall, Professor Short will be working on papers that investigate: (1) how different regulatory enforcement strategies influence the self-policing practices of regulated organizations; (2) how concerns about state coercion have shaped the debate about regulatory reform; and (3) how agencies administer “public interest” standards in their enabling statutes – how they develop models of and mediate competing claims about what the public’s interest is. Professor Short teaches courses on administrative law, the regulatory state, and the role that private organizations play in public governance and law. She will present a talk in the CSLS Speaker Series on Sept. 27 entitled, “Institutionalizing Self-Regulation: The Effect of Threat, Surveillance and Experience.” She can be contacted at jls272@law.georgetown.edu.

Françoise Briegel is a recipient of a one-year fellowship for Academic Research from the Swiss National Science Foundation. She earned a Ph.D. at the Faculté des Lettres, University of Geneva. She has conducted research in several areas of the history of law and justice in continental Europe, such as recidivism between the 16th and the 18th century, the legalisation of the defence in the Republic of Geneva at the beginning of the 18th century, the negotiation between judges and accused regarding the defence, the impact of the politicization of public and judicial spaces. While at the Center her main goals are to explore the rhetorical dimension of the plea, the elements (facts, evidence, social values, etc.) which are ignored by the accusation and by the defence. Finally, and more generally, what are the consequences of the right to a spoken defence in “inquisitorial” procedure in which the fair hearing concept was previously non-existent? Does the defence lawyer bring about changes in terms of evidence, the role of judges or the public body; what about the double classification of the defendant made by the accusation and by the defence regarding the concept of “criminal responsibility”? francoise.briegel@gmail.com

Mariavittoria Catanzariti is a PhD student at University of Roma, Roma Tre. Her doctoral work focuses on the topic of secrecy within the public/private dichotomy. More deeply, she analyzes the connections between the management and the access to sensitive data and their influences on democratic systems. This great field includes different issues: trail and secret, secret’s vote procedures, the problem of emergence, the international terrorism, the right on privacy. It is devoted to a new elaboration of secret as a concept of General Theory that covers all dimensions of public life and politics. Her research project compares two different models: the European one and the Common Law system, specifically the American one. Depending on the point of view, we have at least two different impacts: the ‘secret’ is considered as an asset, but it ensures also the protection of private life from the public powers. In this perspective the PhD thesis aims to determine a normative definition of ‘secret’ within the modern Constitutions. mailto:mariavittoriacat@libera.it

Judith van Erp is Associate Professor of Criminology at Erasmus University of Rotterdam, the Netherlands. She holds a PhD in Public Administration from the Free University of Amsterdam. Her field of interest is the regulation and governance of corporations and markets. She is currently working on a grant-funded research project (2006-2009) on naming and shaming in the Dutch financial market, that was inspired by the fact that more and more regulatory agencies in Europe actively publish the names of offending companies as a part of their regulatory strategy. The aim of the project was to empirically establish the effects of naming and shaming on consumers, the companies whose names were published, and market parties in general. A main finding was that naming and shaming fails to fulfill the role of moral education in the financial market, while it creates defiance and distrust of the regulator. While in Berkeley, Judith will work on several publications on this research project and think about future research plans. Judith’s office is at 2240 Piedmont Avenue. vanerp@frg.eur.nl

Maartje van der Woude is a PhD-student in the Department of criminal law and criminology of the University of Leyden, the Netherlands. She received both her law degree (2002) and her MSc (2005) at Leyden, specializing in (criminal) law enforcement and safety policies, in particular counterterrorism. Besides teaching various courses, she is currently working on her dissertation with the (working) title “Anti-terrorism legislation in a Culture of Control: An investigation into the Development of the Discourse.” In her research, Maartje focuses on the discrepancy between social/political discourse and legal discourse of counterterrorism. Counter-terrorism legislation shows a tension between the social/political discourse, in which collective security occupies center stage, and the (criminal) legal discourse, where individual legal protection is considered to have the highest value. The prevailing impression of criminal justice scholars is that typical values of criminal law are subordinated to risk control. This research focuses on a comparison of the two discourses in order to establish (a) on which points there is agreement or agreement can be reached, (b) on which points no agreement is possible, so that the legislator must make choices, (c) how – and in which terms – he should substantiate such choices so that they fit in with the present-day culture of control. While in Berkeley, Maartje is working on two chapters of her dissertation as well as on two articles relating to her dissertation. Her office is in 471A Boalt, tel. 643-9286, email mahvanderwoude@gmail.com.

David Glick is a fourth year PhD Candidate in the Politics Department at Princeton University focusing on Public Law and American Politics. His dissertation investigates the important role that private organizations play in shaping legal impact by analyzing empirically how they actually learn about the law and decide which concrete internal polices (if any) to enact in the implementation process. He treats these organizations as actors trying to make difficult policy decisions in response to complex and ambiguous laws by building on more general theories of decision making in complex tasks, and finds that legal changes are often turned into concrete policy by organizations which learn from and copy each other’s responses to it. He is also the author of the working paper, “Strategic Retreat and the 1935 Gold Clause Cases.” David was an undergraduate at Williams College. His office is 470 Law Building, 642-0437, dglick@Princeton.edu.

Rebecca L. Sandefur has been assistant professor of sociology at Stanford University since receiving her PhD in sociology from the University of Chicago in 2001. Her work is at the intersection of the sociology of law and the study of inequality. During her year at the Center, Professor Sandefur will be at work on two projects, a small one on professional inequality and a larger project on social class and civil justice.

The first project grows out of her work, with the Chicago Lawyers Project, on inequality within the American legal profession. Beginning in the early 1970s, wage inequality in many occupations, including professions such as law, began to increase. Her new project on professional inequality investigates the sources of rising inequality in professionals’ wages, looking especially at the role of the legal regulation of professional services markets (e.g., non-competition clauses, prohibitions on advertising) and demographic change, particularly change in the age and gender composition of professional occupations.

Her second project examines the role of the civil justice system in social class stratification. When experiencing most kinds of justiciable events — events that fall within the purview of civil law, but that people may never think of as legal, or even as problematic at all — poor and working class households are less likely than middle and upper-middle class households to use the civil justice system. The most common responses of middle and upper-middle class households involve the legal system in some way, while the most common response of poor and working class households is to take no action at all. Sandefur seeks not only to contribute to long-standing debates about why social class affects how people respond to commonly experienced, potentially highly consequential problems, but to understand the consequences of those responses for the people that pursue them. Professor Sandefur will present a talk in the Center’s Bag Lunch Speaker Series on January 24th, 2006. Professor Sandefur’s office is on the 2nd floor of the Center/JSP building, tel. 642-4038, email sandefur@stanford.edu .

VISITING SCHOLARS – SPRING 2005

Sarah Armstrong is a lecturer in criminology at the School of Law , Edinburgh University. Her research is defined by an interest in the social and organizational features of contemporary punishment. She is completing a project that explores the involvement of nonprofit organizations in juvenile justice programs. This work has moved through analysis of the concept and reality of community in treatment, the relationship of mental health and penal systems, and the impact of using contracts to manage and deliver punishment, and the consequences of this for accountability. She will be starting work on the interactive effects of law, probability and risk in penal justice. Part of this entails research into the migration of the precautionary principle from environmental science to criminal justice, and is part of a UK government grant-funded project about transdisciplinary approaches to risk and law. She is co-editing a book (with Lesley McAra) entitled, Perspectives on Punishment: The Contours of Control, to be published later this year ( Oxford University Press).

The conference resulted in a volume, Engaging the Law in China: State, Society and the Possibilities for Justice, which will be published by the Stanford University Press early in 2005. He will be presenting a talk in the Bag Lunch Speaker Series on Nov. 22 entitled “Law Reform in China: Progress and Problems.”

Mona Lynch is an Associate Professor in the Justice Studies Department at San Jose State University, where she teaches courses on courts, punishment, research methods, and the death penalty. Prior to that, she was an assistant professor in the School of Justice Studies at Arizona State University. She received a B.A., M.S., and Ph.D. from University of California, Santa Cruz in Social Psychology and an M.A. from Stanford University in Communication. Her research falls into two distinct but related categories. First, she has collaborated with Craig Haney on a line of experimental research that examines the social and psychological dynamics of capital jury decision-making as it is shaped by contemporary forms of racism. Her second line of research examines penal/legal discourse and practices in a number of settings, especially focusing on the social and cultural dynamics of contemporary punishment. Much of this work seeks to empirically examine the extent to which prevailing theories of state punishment explain current penal and legal practices.

While visiting at the Center, Professor Lynch will work on writing a book length manuscript, tentatively entitled “The making of a post-rehabilitative penal regime: A case study of Arizona 1960-present.” This project examines the rapid and somewhat dramatic development of Arizona’s correctional system, as it is imbedded in the recent social, cultural, and political history of the state. The study is also grounded in a broader research question that asks: What happens when a state penal system has in essence been born in the post-rehabilitative age of penal crisis? The overriding goal of this project is to try to tease out the relative influences that shaped the way this penal system has developed in an era of broader penal transformation: To what extent and in what ways did local culture, norms, and historical precedents influence the particular penal style and approach they have taken? How influential was the larger paradigm shift in penality in terms of how this department decided to approach the correctional task? Mona will present a talk in our Bag Lunch Series on this project on Nov. 15.

Ira Mark Ellman is a legal scholar whose principal work has been in family law. Professor and Willard H. Pedrick Distinguished Research Scholar at Arizona State University, he received his law degree from Berkeley in 1973. Before law school he did graduate work in experimental child psychology at the University of Illinois. He was the Chief Reporter and the Justice Ammi Cutter Reporter for the Principles of the Law of Family Dissolution, a project of the American Law Institute completed over a ten-year period. The 1200 page volume was published in May of 2002. The Fourth Edition of his widely-used Family Law casebook will appear in October of 2004. Professor Ellman’s articles have frequently drawn upon social science research. His recent articles include an empirical study of the effects on divorced children of their parents’ post-divorce relocation to different cities, jointly authored with two social psychologists, and an examination of the economic analysis employed by the consultants who advise most states in the periodic revisions of their child support guidelines. The relocation study drew considerable attention in the press both here and abroad, and a preliminary report on the child support study prompted the creation of a special committee in Arizona to reconsider that state’s approach to its child support guidelines. Professor Ellman’s current projects include an empirical study with a social psychologist into the fairness principles that people implicitly employ in making judgments about the appropriate level of child support payments, and a book for Oxford University Press that examines the reasons why the creation of appropriate family law rules poses special challenges for policymakers.

Professor Ellman clerked for Justice William O. Douglas of the United States Supreme Court, was a legislative aide to Senator Adlai Stevenson III, practiced law in San Francisco, and drafted a nonprofit corporations code for the for the state of California. He was a founding member of the Bioethics Committee of the Good Samaritan Medical Center in Phoenix, and has also published in bioethics and health care law.

Ira will be presenting a talk in our Bag Lunch Speaker Series on Sept. 20 entitled “Fudging Failure: The Economic Analysis Used to Construct Child Support Guidelines.”

Suzan Verberk continues as a visiting scholar for the Fall Semester 2004. She studied Political Science and Public Administration at the Free University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands, and was the recipient of the National Award of the ‘Dutch Association for Public Administration’ for her master’s thesis on administrative corruption, democracy and democratization. Following her undergraduate studies she was a scientific researcher at the department of Political Science and Public Administration of the Free University, participating in the research program on ‘Ethics and public behavior’. Since 1999 she has been working as a researcher and project manager in commercial public policy research. Her fields of expertise are administration of justice, law enforcement and public sector ethics. During her work in the private sector she has continued to hold close ties with the academic world.

Suzan Verberk is continuing with her study of the projects initiated under the California Judicial Council’s Court and Community Collaboration Program. To promote public trust and confidence, this program encourages courts to become more responsive to community concerns and educate the public about the role and function of the court system. Verberk’s research focuses on the extent to which the program’s objectives are met and on the factors contributing to or hampering its success. She is paying special attention to ethical dilemmas confronting judges as a result of increased community involvement, translating the research results to the Dutch situation. Like in California, the Dutch judiciary feels the need for increased responsiveness to the public. There is much to be learned from the experiences with the Court Community Collaboration Program – notwithstanding the many differences between the Californian and Dutch judicial system.. The research is conducted in collaboration with Prof. Dr. Nick Huls from the Erasmus University Rotterdam and Leiden University in the Netherlands.

Annette Nierobisz completed her doctoral studies in the Department of Sociology at the University of Toronto in March 2001 and is currently an assistant professor in the Department of Sociology and Anthropology at Carleton College. Annette’s research broadly explores legal reactions to workplace issues.

As a graduate student Annette studied the resolution of sexual harassment complaints lodged with the Canadian Human Rights Commission, a “court of last resort” for sexual harassment cases arising in federal workplaces. One dimension of this research examines the impact of legal, extra-legal, and organizational characteristics on the decisions reached by the Commission. A recent article based on this research appears in Social Problems (volume 48, p. 605-623).

In her more recent research, Annette examines the interconnection of economic forces, organizational logics, and legal decisions and discourses. She is currently studying this through analysis of judicial decisions on Canadian wrongful dismissal cases. The cases studied were heard to judgment over a 28-year period (1970-1997) that encompasses the emergence of the “new economy” and a revision of the traditional employment contract. Annette specifically studies how judges navigate the new employment context using a body of law that was developed in a distinctly different economic era with a different set of employment expectations and obligations.

At the Center Annette will be completing two projects. A first project examines the changing impact of legally relevant criteria in wrongful dismissal cases through a period that encompasses the development, implementation, and expansion of downsizing as a corporate logic. A second project examines changing business discourse in newspaper accounts to assess corresponding changes in the language and rational used by judges in later wrongful dismissal decisions.

On October 20th Annette will present her work in the Center’s Luncheon Speaker Series. Her talk is entitled “Wrestling with the New Economy: Wrongful Dismissal and the Canadian Courts, 1981-1997.”

Jiri Priban is Professor of Jurisprudence and Sociology of Law at Charles University in Prague, and Lecturer at Cardiff Law School, University of Wales.

In September, 2003 Professor Priban is a visiting professor at the University of San Francisco Law School, and will also participate as a visiting scholar at the Center.

On Friday, September 12, Professor Priban will present a talk in our Luncheon Speaker Series entitled, “Reconstituting Paradise Lost: The Temporal Dimension of Postcommunist Constitution-Making in Central Europe.”

Jellienke Stamhuis has a law degree from Groningen University, the Netherlands and is currently working on her PhD dissertation at the Department of Legal Theory at the University of Groningen. During her visit in Berkeley, she will continue her work on her dissertation research and plans to participate in some graduate courses. Her main research interests are in the field of sociology of law, the interactionist approach to law and legislation and workers participation law. Her dissertation research addresses several problems and questions, both theoretically and empirically, concerning the concept of ‘interactive legislation’. The aim of the research is to test the assumptions of a model of legislation in which the legislator does not one-sidedly impose behavioral rules, but where these are the result of interaction between legislator, judiciary, administrators/officials, interests groups, scholars and media. In Berkeley she hopes to explore the American perspective on workers participation and interactive legislation generally. Jellienke Stamhuis has recently worked on three articles that will be published later this year. The first two deal with the phenomenon of self-regulation and corporate responsibility. The other focuses on elements of interactive law in works councils legislation.

During his visit (until March 10th, 2003), Professor Duce will be working on a study of the impact of the Chilean criminal justice reform, for his JSD dissetation at Stanford Law School. (Lawrence Friedman is his advisor.) The general context of the study is the reforms made by most Latin American countries since the mid `80s to their inquisitorial models of criminal procedure.

On February 18th, Mauricio will present a talk in the Center’s Luncheon Speaker Series entitled “Criminal Justice Reform in Chile: Advances and Perspectives on a Radical Process of Transformation.”

Leslie Goldstein. Leslie Goldstein grew up in Cleveland, Ohio, earned Political Science degrees at the University of Chicago and Cornell, and is the Judge Hugh M. Morris Professor of Political Science and International Relations at the University of Delaware. Her research and teaching interests, broadly speaking, are in the areas of public law and political theory, and also in both these topics as they intersect with questions of sex and gender. She has a longstanding interest in the relationship between law and social change and between judicial power and democracy. In recent years she has done work on the European Court of Justice, and that work took her into explorations of comparative federalism, and into her most recent research interest, the rule of law. Her books have included The Constitutional Rights of Women (U of Wisconsin Press, 2d ed. 1988); In Defense of the Text: Democracy and Constitutional Theory (Roman and Littlefield, 1991); Contemporary Cases in Women’s Rights (U of Wisconsin Press, 1994); Feminist Jurisprudence: The Diffference Debate (edited, Rowman & Littlefield, 1992); Constituting Federal Sovereignity: The European Union in Comparative Context (Johns Hopkins Press, 2001).

Professor Goldstein plans to spend her time at the Center (until July 31, 2003) working on a couple of conference papers and figuring out what is the rule of law, and working on an updated edition of her Constitutional Rights of Women casebook, and getting started on a casebook on race and the Supreme Court, designed for undergraduate use. Meanwhile she is also teaching an undergraduate constitutional law class for the Political Science Department.

After figuring out what the rule of law is, on April 14th, Leslie will present a talk in the Luncheon Speaker Series entitled, aptly, “The Rule of Law.”
