SUMMARY:2026 May Washington\, D.C. Fellows Reception and Presentation
DESCRIPTION:Please join the Washington\, D.C. Fellows for a reception and presentation of “Weaponizing Immigration Detention” by ABF Affiliated Scholar Emily Ryo. This reception is being held in conjunction with the ABA International Law Section Annual Conference \nMonday\, May 11\, 2026 \n6:00 PM-8:00 PM ET \nReception with heavy hors d’oeuvres and hosted bar. Presentation to start around 6:45 pm. \nOffices of Cozen O’Connor \n2001 M Street NW\, Suite 500\nWashington\, D.C. \n$75 per Person\nGuests Welcome\nCancellations cannot be refunded after May 4\, 2026 \nImmigrants\, like all individuals\, exist within networks of social relationships that shape their identities\, inform their decision-making\, and guide their behavior. Certain areas of substantive U.S. immigration law—the body of law governing who may enter or remain in the United States—explicitly acknowledge this social embeddedness by protecting or privileging valued social relationships. In contrast\, procedural immigration law—the set of rules governing how substantive immigration law is implemented and enforced—undermines or destroys those very relationships. The U.S. government’s practice of transferring immigrant detainees across multiple detention facilities and confining them in remote locations is a paradigmatic example of such destructive procedural immigration law in action. This presentation will present the first systematic empirical analysis of interfacility transfers and remote detention in the U.S. immigration detention system. \nThe Fellows gratefully recognize event hosts:

SUMMARY:2026 April New York Fellows Virtual Event
DESCRIPTION:Please join the New York State Co-Chairs\, Vince Chang and Adrienne Koch\, for a virtual presentation by Christopher W. Schmidt\, ABF Research Professor and Professor of Law; Co-Director of the Institute on the U.S Supreme Court\, Chicago-Kent College of Law. \n“The Supreme Court Under Fire: Lessons from History” \nFrom debates over executive power to battles over abortion and gun rights\, the United States Supreme Court features prominently in many of our most contentious political disputes. As a result\, it has been a frequent target of attack\, with critics accusing the Court of being captured by outside interests and of rulings that place ideology or even party above legal principle. In this presentation\, Professor Christopher Schmidt draws on material from his forthcoming book on the history of the Supreme Court to place today’s attacks on the Supreme Court into a broader historical context. He explores the circumstances surrounding past episodes when the Court has come under fire for its rulings\, showing how many of today’s attacks on the Court echo those of the past. He also identifies ways in which the present moment is distinct and argues that today’s Court may be more vulnerable than past Courts in the face of challenges to its authority.

SUMMARY:2026 March New York Virtual Event
DESCRIPTION:Please join the New York State Co-Chairs\, Vince Chang and Adrienne Koch\, for a virtual presentation by Laura Beth Nielsen\, ABF Research Professor and Board of Lady Managers of the Columbian Exposition Chair and Professor of Sociology\, Northwestern University. \n“Representations of Vengeance\, Justice\, Expertise\, and Emotion in True Crime Podcasts” \nTrue crime podcasts rank among the most-consumed digital media\, with millions of weekly downloads. More than entertainment\, they function as vernacular trials that invite audiences to deliberate on crime\, culpability\, and punishment. Analyzing 30 episodes (~36 hours) from five top podcasts in 2022 (Crime Junkie\, Morbid\, Dateline\, Small Town Murder\, Sword & Scale)\, Professor Nielsen identifies three patterns. First\, persona-driven storytelling shifts attention from “whodunit” to what kind of person could do this. Second\, hosts place perpetrators on a moral spectrum progressing from weird to creepy to evil to monster. The spectrum naturalizes dehumanization. Third\, gestures toward mitigation (psychosis\, intellectual disability\, trauma\, youth) typically collapse into demands for harsh punishment. This presentation will document the punitive turn within sympathetic narration and argue that these podcasts both reflect and produce legal consciousness: they teach listeners how to evaluate culpability\, weigh mitigation\, and imagine justice.

SUMMARY:2026 February New York Virtual Event
DESCRIPTION:Please join the New York State Co-Chairs\, Vince Chang and Adrienne Koch\, for a virtual presentation by Alana Ackerman\, ABF Research Professor. \n“Crip Images Against the Disabling of Asylum: Lessons from Two Protests at the Broadview Detention Center in Illinois”\nIn this presentation\, Professor Ackerman will reflect on preliminary research she has begun related to the “disabling of asylum” by the current US administration. The presentation will focus on a set of photographs and videos recorded during two protests in Fall 2025 outside of Broadview Detention Center in Illinois. These recordings were taken in the context of “Operation Midway Blitz\,” an ongoing militarized attack by the US government against migrant\, refugee\, and related racialized communities in the Chicago area\, part of a broader project of white nationalism and a “thickening” borderlands condition (Rosas 2006). These recordings are “crip” in that they center disability and disablement\, and they challenge the status quo of state power. Professor Ackerman will argue that crip images\, and crip protesting\, represent one way to witness and confront contemporary state violence.

SUMMARY:2025 November Maryland Virtual Event
DESCRIPTION:Please join the Maryland State Co-Chairs\, Hon. Lynne Battaglia and Herman Rosenthal\, for a virtual presentation by author and professor of history at the University of Maryland\, Professor Richard Bell\, Professor Bell will present from his new book\, The American Revolution and the Fate of the World. \nTHE AMERICAN REVOLUTION AND THE FATE OF THE WORLD\nAn electrifying global history of a not-so local war. \nWhen we think of the American Revolution\, we often picture a parochial drama: thirteen colonies squaring off against the British Crown in a spirited bid for independence. But this version of the story is only half the truth—and perhaps not even the most interesting half. In this riveting program\, historian and author Richard Bell invites audiences to rediscover the Revolution as a world war that unleashed chaos\, opportunity\, and transformation across six continents. From the sugar fields of the Caribbean to the court of the King of Mysore\, from refugee camps on the Canadian frontier to political uprisings in Sierra Leone and Peru\, the war that gave birth to the United States was never simply America’s own. It was a seismic global event that redrew maps\, toppled hierarchies\, catalyzed migration\, and accelerated new movements for liberty—and for empire. \nIn this program\, Bell traces the far-flung reverberations of the war through the lives of the people it displaced\, empowered\, or destroyed. Participants will encounter a Native matriarch struggling to preserve a transatlantic military alliance\, a Prussian officer reinventing himself in a foreign army\, and a Boston schoolteacher shipwrecked thousands of miles from home. Along the way\, the Bell explores how the Revolution stirred a transoceanic refugee crisis\, ignited antislavery activism\, and inspired uprisings from Ireland to India. The program offers a bold new framework for understanding the Revolutionary War not as a tidy founding moment but as a sprawling\, high-stakes struggle fought on land and sea\, shaped by commerce\, diplomacy\, propaganda\, and contingency. This is the American Revolution as you’ve never seen it before: complex\, global\, and astonishingly relevant to the modern world.

SUMMARY:2025 November New York Fellows Virtual Event
DESCRIPTION:Please join the New York State Co-Chairs\, Vince Chang and Adrienne Koch\, for a virtual presentation by Carol A. Heimer\, ABF Research Professor and Professor of Sociology Emerita\, Northwestern University. \n“Governing the Global Clinic: HIV and the Legal Transformation of Medicine”\n\nHIV emerged in the world at a time when medicine and healthcare were undergoing two major transformations: globalization and a turn toward legally inflected\, rule-based ways of doing things. It accelerated both trends. While pestilence and disease are generally considered the domain of biological sciences and medicine\, social arrangements—and law in particular—are also crucial. \nDrawing on years of research in HIV clinics in the United States\, Thailand\, South Africa\, and Uganda\, Governing the Global Clinic examines how growing norms of legalized accountability have altered the work of healthcare systems and how the effects of legalization vary across different national contexts. A key feature of legalism is universalistic language\, but\, in practice\, rules are usually imported from richer countries (especially the United States) to poorer ones that have less adequate infrastructure and fewer resources with which to implement them. Challenging readers to reconsider the impulse to use law to organize and govern social life\, Governing the Global Clinic poses difficult questions: When do rules solve problems\, and when do they create new problems? When do rules become decoupled from ethics\, and when do they lead to deeper moral commitments? When do rules reduce inequality? And when do they reflect\, reproduce\, and even amplify inequality? \n

SUMMARY:2025 November Florida Hybrid Lunch Presentation
DESCRIPTION:Please join the Florida State Co-Chairs\, Jo Ann Engelhardt\, Esq.\, and Kenneth A.

This CLE is about an innovation’s odyssey. It explores the expansion and evolution in the states of one response to that intractable challenge\, one with far-reaching potential – redefining who can deliver legal services if not licensed attorneys. It is about states as laboratories for innovations authorizing trained and licensed non-lawyers – having a variety of names — to deliver certain legal services without attorney supervision. And the states are indeed laboratories for what is\, admittedly\, an access experiment. At the outset\, no one knew if this innovation would work. As then Washington State Chief Justice Barbara Madsen said in the 2012 order creating the first such non-lawyer program\, “No one has a crystal ball … There is simply no way to know the answer to this question without trying it.” Odysseys are about journeys and what a given journey can teach us. In 2025\, the question now is what have we learned? \nThe Fellows gratefully recognize event host:\n \nThe Fellows gratefully recognize Gold Sponsors:\n\nJo Ann Engelhardt\, Leadership Fellow

SUMMARY:2025 October Connecticut Fellows Hybrid Presentation
DESCRIPTION:Please join Connecticut Fellows State Chair\, Andy I. Corea\, for a networking reception and presentation by ABF Affiliated Research Professor\, Dylan C. Penningroth. \n“Before the Movement: The Hidden History of Black Civil Rights” \n6:00 PM ET – Networking Reception\n6:30 PM ET – Presentation \nLocation:\nHarris Beach Murtha\n280 Trumbull Street\, 12th Floor\nHartford\, CT 06150 \nAbout “Before the Movement”: \nThe familiar story of civil rights goes like this: once\, America’s legal system shut Black people out and refused to recognize their rights\, their basic human dignity\, or even their very lives. When lynch mobs gathered\, police and judges often closed their eyes\, if they didn’t join in. For Black people\, law was a hostile\, fearsome power to be avoided whenever possible. Then\, starting in the 1940s\, a few brave lawyers ventured south\, bent on changing the law. Soon\, ordinary African Americans\, awakened by Supreme Court victories and galvanized by racial justice activists\, launched the civil rights movement. \nIn Before the Movement\, acclaimed historian Dylan C. Penningroth brilliantly revises the conventional story. Drawing on long-forgotten sources found in the basements of county courthouses across the nation\, Penningroth reveals that African Americans\, far from being ignorant about law until the middle of the twentieth century\, have thought about\, talked about\, and used it going as far back as even the era of slavery. They dealt constantly with the laws of property\, contract\, inheritance\, marriage and divorce\, of associations (like churches and businesses and activist groups)\, and more. By exercising these “rights of everyday use\,” Penningroth demonstrates\, they made Black rights seem unremarkable. And in innumerable subtle ways\, they helped shape the law itself―the laws all of us live under today. \nPenningroth’s narrative\, which stretches from the last decades of slavery to the 1970s\, partly traces the history of his own family. Challenging accepted understandings of Black history framed by relations with white people\, he puts Black people at the center of the story―their loves and anger and loneliness\, their efforts to stay afloat\, their mistakes and embarrassments\, their fights\, their ideas\, their hopes and disappointments\, in all their messy humanness. Before the Movement is an account of Black legal lives that looks beyond the Constitution and the criminal justice system to recover a rich\, broader vision of Black life―a vision allied with\, yet distinct from\, “the freedom struggle.” \nThe Fellows gratefully recognize event sponsor:

SUMMARY:National Fellows Webinar
DESCRIPTION:This event is free to attend. Open to Fellows and nominees only.  \n11:00am PT / 12:00pm MT / 1:00pm CT / 2:00pm ET \n“The Legal Profession and the Rule of Law in Asia” \nChallenges to the rule of law in the U.S. resonate with urgent debates about the role of law and lawyers worldwide. This webinar will explore these issues through an international lens\, drawing on cutting-edge empirical research from American Bar Foundation experts and their collaborators. A panel of leading scholars will offer in-depth insights into the lawyers\, courts\, and legal systems of China\, Singapore\, and India\, examining both the challenges and the possibilities of practicing law and pursuing justice within these diverse regimes. From the struggles of China’s criminal defense and human rights lawyers\, to the disproportionate influence of favored advocates in India’s Supreme Court\, to the impact of authoritarian politics on Singapore law\, panelists will explore how lawyers across Asia serve their clients\, fight for basic freedoms\, and hold governments accountable. This webinar will also look at the many\, contested meanings of “the rule of law” — and the complexities of defining and measuring this fraught concept across widely differing legal cultures. \nFeaturing: \nTerence Halliday\nResearch Professor Emeritus\, American Bar Foundation;\nAdjunct Professor of Sociology\, Northwestern University; Honorary Professor\, Australian National University \nJothie Rajah\nResearch Professor\, American Bar Foundation  \nSital Kalantry\nDirector\, RoundGlass India Center;\nProfessor of Law\, Seattle University School of Law \nModerated by: \nDavid K.Y.

SUMMARY:2025 September New York Virtual Event
DESCRIPTION:Please join the New York State Co-Chairs\, Vince Chang and Adrienne Koch\, for a virtual presentation: \n“Access to Justice in U.S. Immigration Courts” \nEmily Ryo\nPast ABF/JPB Foundation Access to Justice Scholar\nCharles L. B. Lowndes Distinguished Professor of Law and Professor of Sociology\, Duke University \nRemoval proceedings are high-stakes adversarial proceedings in which immigration judges must decide whether to allow immigrants who allegedly have violated U.S. immigration laws to stay in the United States or to order them deported to their countries of origin. In these proceedings\, the government trial attorneys prosecute noncitizens who often lack English fluency\, economic resources\, and familiarity with our legal system. This presentation will focus on studies that examine issues of access to justice in U.S. immigration courts for immigrants in removal proceedings. The questions raised and addressed in these studies include: What barriers do immigrants in removal proceedings face in obtaining legal representation? Does the effect of legal representation on case outcomes vary by the race of immigrants\, their lawyers\, and/or immigration judges presiding over their proceedings? What is the role of social identity of individual judges and the role of social diversity of immigration courts in shaping the removal decisions of immigration judges? \nWednesday\, September 10\, 2025\n12:30PM – 1:30pm ET

SUMMARY:2025 June Maryland Fellows Virtual Event
DESCRIPTION:Please join the Maryland State Co-Chairs\, Hon. Lynne Battaglia and Herman Rosenthal\, for a virtual presentation by ABF Research Professor\, Janice Nadler. \nPublic Opinion\, Private Governance\, and the Influence of Source Credibility\nDoes McDonald’s public embrace of selling only cage-free eggs affect their customers’ support for legislation banning the caging of chickens for egg production? Does ExxonMobil’s commitment to reducing methane emissions from oil and gas operations impact the views of their customers/shareholders on climate change legislation? In this project\, ABF Research Professor Janice Nadler will explore whether these kinds of corporate initiatives influence public support for subsequent legal regulation or whether people infer that the private sector is adequately managing the problem\, thus obviating the need for a legal response. \nThis presentation will also explore the influence of political partisanship and the possibility that groups with differing ideological values respond with increased concern for problems framed consistently with their foundational moral frameworks. In addition\, Professor Nadler will report on findings suggesting further questions about the role of various messengers besides corporations — such as local governments and trusted professionals – in impacting public support for increased legal regulation. \nComplimentary Zoom Event\, register to receive Zoom link. \n12:00 PM-1:00 PM EST.
