SUMMARY:Illinois Fellows Virtual Event and CLE
DESCRIPTION:This event is free to registerees.  \nParticipants attending this presentation are eligible for one Illinois MCLE credit  \nFeatured Keynote: “The Incarceration of Fathers\, the Educational Effects on Children\, and the Possible Implications of Disputed Adolescent Arrests for ‘Driving While Black'” with John Hagan (ABF Research Professor; John D. MacArthur Professor of Sociology and Law\, Northwestern University) \nThe incarceration of fathers leads to educational problems among children\, and there are major differences between American states in their investment in imprisonment as well as education. This presentation demonstrates that state investment in paternal incarceration diminishes the educational success of children\, with state investment in welfare and education proving to offset some of this harm. Professor Hagan’s research shows that college level educational outcomes are greatly reduced in states with high levels of paternal incarceration\, net of other individual and family level problems.  Join the ABF to learn the importance of analyzing differences in state level investments in incarceration and education. This presentation will further speculate about the role of adolescent arrests for offenses such as “driving while black” on educational outcomes.

Sandman \n\nFeatured Keynote: “When Should Law Forgive?” with Martha Minow (300th Anniversary University Professor\, Harvard University) \nDrawing from her recent publication\, Martha Minow explores the complicated intersection of the law\, justice\, and forgiveness\, asking whether the law should encourage people to forgive\, as well as asking when courts\, public officials\, and specific laws should forgive. Crimes and violations of the law require punishment\, and our legal system is set up to punish\, but what if the system was recalibrated to also weigh grounds for forgiveness? What if something like bankruptcy was available to people convicted of crimes? Who has the right to forgive? Who should be forgiven? And under what terms? \n  \nThe Fellows gratefully recognize Platinum Sponsor: \n \nGold Sponsors: \nSandra Chan & Gary Yoshimura

SUMMARY:New York Fellows Virtual Lunch Program
DESCRIPTION:This event is free to registerees.  \nThis program will provide 1.0 hour of Diversity\, Inclusion and Elimination of Bias NY CLE credit for experienced attorneys. Please note that in accordance with NY CLE Board Regulations\, if you are late or leave early\, you will not be eligible to receive CLE credit. \nFeatured Keynote: “Unequal Profession: Race and Gender in Legal Academia” with Meera E. Deo (2020-21 ABF William H. Neukom Fellows Research Chair in Diversity and Law) \nThis panel draws from Professor Deo’s Diversity in Legal Academia (DLA) project\, which is the first formal mixed-method study of the law faculty experience. This study utilizes an intersectionality framework from Critical Race Theory along with empirical (survey and interview) methods to investigate the experiences of women and men from various racial and ethnic backgrounds and amplify the voices of those who are traditionally underrepresented and marginalized. Professor Deo’s findings of intersectional bias are alarming\, as classroom confrontations and biases in course evaluations have devastating effects on tenure and promotion. Colleagues who mansplain\, hepeat\, and silence marginalized faculty contribute to a higher rate of attrition for female professors of color. The data reveal interesting parallels between hiring and leadership for women of color faculty\, as many do not pursue faculty or administrative positions because they are told (directly or indirectly) that they do not belong. \nThe Fellows gratefully recognize:

SUMMARY:National Fellows Virtual Event
DESCRIPTION:This event is free to registerees.  \n12:30 PM PT / 1:30 PM MT / 2:30 PM CT / 3:30 PM ET \nFeatured Keynote: “Who is Going to Law School? The Future of Diversity in the Legal Profession” with Hon. Goodwin Liu (Associate Justice\, California Supreme Court) \nDespite an increased focus on diversity in the legal profession\, law is among the least diverse professions in the United States. As law school enrollment and demographics have changed significantly over the past decade\, what does the future hold for diversity within the legal profession? \nOn Thursday\, November 19\, the Fellows of the American Bar Foundation will host California Supreme Court Associate Justice Goodwin Liu for a national discussion exploring the changing diversity of J.D. students. Justice Liu is co-author of an ABF-sponsored study that provides a fresh and thorough examination of recent U.S. law school enrollment trends since the Great Recession. He will discuss how law school demographics by gender\, race\, ethnicity\, and nationality have changed since the financial crisis a decade ago. The discussion will focus particularly on Asian Americans\, often an invisible minority in contemporary diversity discourse. \nUnderstanding the change in law school diversity is essential to building a more diverse and inclusive legal profession. The dialogue will also examine impending challenges and opportunities that the COVID-19 pandemic has presented for the legal profession.

SUMMARY:Oregon Fellows Virtual Event
DESCRIPTION:This event is free to registerees.  \nFeatured Keynote: “The Sit-Ins: Protest and Legal Change in the Civil Rights Era” with Christopher Schmidt (ABF Research Professor; Associate Professor of Law\, Chicago-Kent College of Law) \nOn February 1\, 1960\, four African American college students entered the Woolworth department store in Greensboro\, North Carolina\, and sat down at the lunch counter. This lunch counter\, like most in the American South\, refused to serve black customers. The four students remained in their seats until the store closed. In the following days\, they returned\, joined by growing numbers of fellow students. These “sit-in” demonstrations soon spread to other southern cities\, drawing in thousands of students and coalescing into a protest movement that would transform the struggle for racial equality.

SUMMARY:Minnesota Fellows Virtual Event
DESCRIPTION:This event is free to registerees.  \nFeatured Keynote: “Rights on Trial: How Employment Discrimination Law Perpetuates Inequality” with Laura Beth Nielsen (ABF Research Profesor; Professor of Sociology and Director of Legal Studies\, Northwestern University) \nThough significant legislative and judicial progress in civil rights protections has been made over the past 50 years\, this presentation emphasizes how workplace discrimination based on race\, gender\, age and disability persists\, and the adversarial nature of litigation places plaintiffs at a disadvantage from the outset. Legal recourse is rare\, but plaintiffs who do file legal charges often experience substantial challenges in navigating litigation\, including mistreatment by their colleagues and management\, difficulty securing legal representation and extensive personal and financial burdens – including job loss – as a result of the case.

SUMMARY:National Fellows Virtual Event
DESCRIPTION:This event is free to registerees.  \nFeatured Keynote: “Would Better Law Mean Less COVID?” with Carol A. Heimer (ABF Research Professor; Professor of Sociology\, Northwestern University) \nFor years both specialists and the general public have worried about global pandemics and the death\, disability\, and general chaos that would come with them. With each new infectious disease — SARS\, Ebola\, Zika\, Candida Auris — experts have become increasingly concerned that the world\, especially the United States\, was not adequately prepared. Pandemics raise special questions about what law can do to mitigate the effects of a biologically-based crisis that might seem beyond the reach of law. Although some elements of public health governance\, such as the International Health Regulations\, have been strengthened in recent years\, COVID-19 has made the limitations of current legal structures painfully and often fatally apparent.  But what in particular can we do to strengthen the legal tools for protecting public health in the current and in future epidemics?

SUMMARY:Mountain & Western States Fellows Virtual Event
DESCRIPTION:This event is free to registerees.  \nFeatured Keynote: “Access to Justice Way Out West: The Uncertain Fate of a Potential Innovation” with Stephen Daniels (ABF Senior Research Professor) \nInnovations addressing a widening justice gap once anathema (even odious) to the legal profession are gaining traction. Washington State’s Limited Licensed Legal Practitioner program\, an access-enhancing experiment\, is the first licensed professional authorized to perform “substantive law-related work” without an attorney’s supervision. To be considered an innovation\, others must find this experiment useful and adopt it\, which some Western states are considering. Early research finds each state’s consideration to be a pragmatic vetting process probing the depths of the justice gap and the varied virtues and vices of this experiment. The results can be perplexing\, but nonetheless point to what might shape the fate of Limited Licensed Legal Practitioner program.

SUMMARY:New York Fellows Virtual Luncheon
DESCRIPTION:This event is free to registerees.  \nFeatured Keynote: “Flight\, Fight and Freedom: Delinquency and the Construction of Black Masculinity at the Training School for Boys at St. Charles” with Tera Agyepong (ABF Research Professor; Associate Professor of Legal History and African American History\, DePaul University) \nThis presentation will examine how notions of race\, age\, and black masculinity shaped the evolution of juvenile justice in Illinois. In the early 1900’s\, an increasing number of African-American boys at the Training School for Boys at St. Charles were represented through a hyper-masculine trope that embodied danger\, criminality\, and menacing sexuality\, and triggered a punitive turn in institutional policies and state juvenile justice laws beginning in the 1930’s. In communities surrounding the School\, residents began to advocate for more punishment and stricter confinement policies. By 1939\, hysteria led the Illinois’ General Assembly to mandate the construction of the state’s first maximum security-prison for children\, ultimately creating a more punitive juvenile justice system for children nationwide. \nThe Fellows gratefully recognize:
