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.

SUMMARY:2025 June New York Fellows Virtual Event
DESCRIPTION:Please join the New York State Co-Chairs\, Vince Chang and Adrienne Koch for a virtual presentation by 2024-25 ABF William H. Neukom Fellows Research Chair in Diversity and Law\, John M. Eason. \nBig House on the Prairie: Rise of the Rural Ghetto and Prison Proliferation\nFor the past fifty years\, America has been extraordinarily busy building prisons. Since 1970\, the total number of facilities has tripled\, adding more than 1\,200 new prisons to the landscape. This building boom has taken place across the country but is largely concentrated in rural southern towns. \nIn 2007\, Professor Eason moved his family to Forrest City\, Arkansas\, in search of answers to key questions about this trend: Why is America building so many prisons? Why now? And why in rural areas? Professor Eason quickly learned that rural demand for prisons is complicated. Big House on the Prairie is a remarkable glimpse into the ways a prison economy takes shape and operates. \nComplimentary Zoom Event\, register to receive Zoom link. \n12:30-1:30 PM ET

SUMMARY:National Fellows Webinar
DESCRIPTION:This event is free to attend. Open to Fellows and nominees only. \n1:00pm PT / 2:00pm MT / 3:00pm CT / 4:00pm ET \nDefying the Supreme Court: Historical Perspectives on a Looming Constitutional Crisis \nRecent actions of the second Trump administration are moving the nation toward a direct confrontation between the executive branch and the Supreme Court. Administration leaders are resisting compliance with federal court orders and questioning the authority of the judiciary over executive actions. This webinar will consider our present situation in the context of the history of challenges to the Supreme Court’s authority. \nAmericans have a long tradition of robust public criticism of their Supreme Court. Critics of the Court have sometimes threatened to defy the Court’s commands\, and on occasion the Court’s rulings have been met with noncompliance. Yet\, with only rare exceptions\, Presidents have complied with the mandates of the Court. In this webinar\, we will consider the history of defying Supreme Court authority\, why Presidents have historically avoided direct confrontations with the Court\, and the perspectives this history offers on recent events.

SUMMARY:2025 April New York Fellows Hybrid Event
DESCRIPTION:Please join the New York State Co-Chairs\, Vince Chang and Adrienne Koch for a hybrid lunch and presentation by ABF Research Professor\, William G. and Virginia K. Karnes Research Professor of Law at Northwestern University Pritzker School of Law\, and Affiliated Professor of History at Northwestern University\, Ajay K. Mehrotra. \n“Nixon’s VAT: Lawyers\, Economists\, and the Rise and Fall of the National Value-Added Tax to Fund Education” \n12:00 PM ET – Lunch \n12:30-1:30 PM ET – Presentation \nLocation:\nDavis Polk\n450 Lexington Avenue\nNew York\, New York 10017 \nNearly all developed countries have some type of a broad-based\, national consumption tax\, frequently in the form of a value-added tax (VAT). These levies generate tremendous revenues that often underwrite expansive social-welfare spending – spending that mitigates economic inequality by promoting redistribution. \nThe United States is a glaring exception. While there are numerous U.S. state and local sales taxes\, the federal government has consistently rejected broad-based national consumption taxes. Likewise\, the United States has comparative low levels of direct social-welfare spending and high levels of economic inequality.  This presentation – which is part of a larger ABF research project exploring the question “why no VAT in the U.S.?” – examines the rise and fall of the Nixon administration’s 1970s national VAT aimed at funding education. \nThis presentation explores the broader forces\, seminal events\, and pivotal historical figures that resisted the education VAT during this period.  It focuses\, in particular\, on the epistemic community of tax experts\, mainly lawyers and economists\, who both supported and opposed a U.S. VAT. Ultimately\, recounting the rise and fall of Nixon’s VAT may shed light not only on the peculiar development of the fractured modern American fiscal and social-welfare states\, but also on possibilities for future tax reform. \nThe Fellows gratefully recognize event sponsor:

SUMMARY:2025 March New York Fellows Virtual Event
DESCRIPTION:Please join the New York State Co-Chairs\, Vince Chang and Adrienne Koch for a virtual presentation by ABF Research Professor Emeritus\, Terence Halliday. \nComplimentary Zoom Event\, register to receive Zoom link. \n12:30-1:30 PM ET \n“Looking Back\, Looking Forward: China’s Rights Lawyers and Us” \nFor 20 years the ABF has underwritten research on one of the great rights’ struggles of our times—the fight for basic legal freedoms by China’s criminal defense and rights lawyers. Based on Professor Halliday’s longstanding ties with many leading lawyers\, he look back to describe how they worked in the dark underbelly of China as counsel of last resort\, how they have suffered for their heroic activism\, what hope now remains ten years after the brutal 709 Crackdown in 2015 on hundreds of rights lawyers\, and what we and the international community can do now to enable them to continue to fight the good fight. \n  \n

SUMMARY:2025 February New York Fellows Virtual Event
DESCRIPTION:Please join the New York State Co-Chairs\, Vince Chang and Adrienne Koch for a virtual presentation by ABF Affiliated Scholar\, Robin Bartram. \nComplimentary Zoom Event\, register to receive Zoom link. \n12:30-1:30 PM ET \nStacked Decks: Building Inspectors and the Reproduction of Urban Inequality \nA startling look at the power and perspectives of city building inspectors as they navigate unequal housing landscapes. Though we rarely see them at work\, building inspectors have the power to significantly shape our lives through their discretionary decisions. The building inspectors of Chicago are at the heart of Professor Bartram’s analysis of how individuals’ impact—or attempt to impact—housing inequality. In Stacked Decks\, Professor Bartram reveals surprising patterns in the judgment calls inspectors make when deciding whom to cite for building code violations. These predominantly white\, male inspectors largely recognize that they work within an unequal housing landscape that systematically disadvantages poor people and people of color through redlining\, property taxes\, and city spending that favor wealthy neighborhoods. Stacked Decks illustrates the uphill battle inspectors face when trying to change a housing system that works against those with the fewest resources.

You must be registered for the ABA Midyear Meeting to receive CLE credit) \nAccess to justice is an endemic and intractable challenge for the American legal system. 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? \nThis program will be moderated by Don Bivens\, Principal Attorney\, Don Bivens\, PLLC and feature a panel discussion with: \n\nStephen Daniels – American Bar Foundation Research Professor Emeritus\nMichele Statz – Associate Professor at the University of Minnesota Medical School\, Affiliated Faculty with the University of Minnesota Law School and Affiliated Scholar with the American Bar Foundation\nRodolfo D.

SUMMARY:2025 January Utah Fellows Reception
DESCRIPTION:Please join the Utah Fellows for a reception and presentation of “Our Court: A History of the United States Supreme Court” by ABF Research Professor\, Christopher W. Schmidt. \nWednesday\, January 15\, 2025\n4:45 PM MT – Reception\n5:00 – 6:00 PM MT – Presentation \nUtah Law and Justice Center\n645 S. 200 E\nSalt Lake City\, UT 84111 \n**Approved for CLE Credit** \nThe United States Supreme Court today occupies a place in American politics and culture more prominent and more contested than at any point in history. The overturning of Roe v. Wade dramatically raised the Court’s profile and further polarized public attitudes toward it. Recent Court vacancies have produced passionate ideological confrontations that have exploded long-established political norms and practices\, proposals to reform the Court have become debate points of mainstream politics\, and the ethics of the justices are not a regular topic of media coverage. For many Americans the Supreme Court has become a focal point for their hopes and fears and shaping its composition and direction a responsibility of democratic citizenship. A defining characteristic of the modern Supreme Court is this perceived connection between the American people and the Court. \nProfessor Schmidt’s research examines a key moment in the making of the modern Supreme Court: the failed appointment of John Parker to the Supreme Court in 1930. Prior to Parker\, no Supreme Court nominee had been voted down in the Senate for almost half a century\, and almost forty years would pass before it happened again. Schmidt argues that this event had lasting significance in the ways groups like the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) led the campaign to defeat Parker by using the Court to energize social movement activity and advance their political objectives. In making the case for active citizen oversight of the Court\, the NAACP\, with the support of allies in the press and in Congress\, forged new pathways connecting the Court and the American people. \nThe Fellows Gratefully Recognize Event Sponsors

SUMMARY:2024 December Maryland Fellows Virtual Event
DESCRIPTION:Please join the Maryland State Co-Chairs\, Hon. Lynne Battaglia and Herman Rosenthal\, for a virtual presentation by ABF Affiliated Scholar\, Emily Ryo. \nComplimentary Zoom Event\, register to receive Zoom link. \n12:00 PM-1:00 PM EST. \nAccess to Justice in U.S. Immigration Courts \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 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?

SUMMARY:2024 November Connecticut Fellows Reception
DESCRIPTION:Please join Connecticut Fellows State Chair\, Andy I. Corea\, for a networking reception and presentation by ABF Research Professor\, Robert L. Nelson. \n“The Making of Lawyers’ Careers: Inequality and Opportunity in the American Legal Profession” \n6:00pm ET – Networking Reception \n6:30pm ET – Presentation \nThis program will present material from the capstone book of the ABF’s After the JD project\, “The Making of Lawyers’ Careers: Inequality and Opportunity in the American Legal Profession” by Nelson\, Dinovitzer\, Garth\, Sterling\, Wilkins\, Dawe\, and Michelson (University of Chicago Press 2023).  The book presents a definitive study of lawyers’ careers based on 20 years of research on a national sample of lawyers who passed the bar in 2000. 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.

DESCRIPTION:Please join the California State Co-Chair\, Roger A. Royse\, Esq. for a complimentary hybrid presentation and lunch by ABF Research Professor\, Laura Beth Nielsen. \n“Rights on Trial: How Workplace Discrimination Law Perpetuates Inequality” \nResearch conducted in this project illustrates how employment civil rights litigation entrenches patterns of discrimination in and out of the workplace. Though significant legislative and judicial progress has been made\, workplace discrimination based on race\, gender\, age\, and disability persists. The research reveals the ways that employment civil rights litigation can underscore existing systems of privilege. The research exposes how many plaintiffs struggle to obtain a lawyer as a result of structural inequalities and lawyer biases. \n11:30 am PT– Networking Lunch\n12:00 pm PT– Hybrid Presentation \n*In-person will be limited to 18 guests; we will create a waitlist once we reach capacity. \n  \nGenerously hosted and sponsored by:
