SUMMARY:2024 May Oregon Hybrid Presentation and Cocktail Reception
DESCRIPTION:Please join Oregon State Chair\, Andrew Schpak\, for a cocktail reception and presentation by ABF Affiliated Scholar\, Robin Bartram. \nStacked Decks \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. \nThe Fellows gratefully acknowledge Barran Liebman LLP for sponsoring this event. \n \n

SUMMARY:2024 May New York Virtual Event
DESCRIPTION:Please join the New York State Co-Chairs\, Vince Chang and Adrienne Koch for a virtual presentation by ABF Research Professor\, Jacob Goldin. \nComplimentary Zoom Event\, register to receive Zoom link. \n12:30-1:30 PM ET \n“Measuring and Mitigating Racial Disparities in Tax Audits” \nGovernment agencies around the world use data-driven algorithms to allocate enforcement resources. Even when such algorithms are formally neutral with respect to protected characteristics like race\, there is widespread concern that they can disproportionately burden vulnerable groups. Professor Goldin will discuss research studying differences in Internal Revenue Service audit rates between Black and non-Black taxpayers\, which finds that despite race-blind audit selection\, Black taxpayers are audited at 2.9 to 4.7 times the rate of non-Black taxpayers. This research highlights how tax administration interacts with social and demographic patterns to shape the distribution of income tax benefits and burdens.

SUMMARY:2024 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 ABF Research Professor\, Jeannine Bell\, 2023-24 ABF William Neukom Fellows Research Chair in Diversity and Law \nComplimentary Zoom Event\, register to receive Zoom link. \n12:30-1:30 PM ET \n“Mining the Trust Gap: The Complexity of American’s Views of Police Behavior” \nThe nationwide protests that took place in 2020 in the wake of the murder of George Floyd may have surprised casual observers of American public opinion.  It seemed that Americans were suddenly waking up to police violence and demanding changes in an area where they had mostly been contented. \nHowever\, the scholarly view of public opinion on policing is far more complicated.  Even before the protests\, African Americans had long held dim views of police behavior\, and public opinion polls showed white Americans trust of the police as far lower than one might assume.  Scholars refer to the wide gulf between whites and African Americans’ views of the police as a trust gap.  Based on more than 80 interviews for her forthcoming book\, Professor Bell’s presentation will explore: 1) the level of trust in police from respondents of different backgrounds and 2) some of the reasons for this trust gap.  She will also discuss some police procedures that might help increase trust in the police.

SUMMARY:2024 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\, Robert L. Nelson. \nComplimentary Zoom Event\, register to receive Zoom link. \n12:30-1:30 PM ET \n“The Making of Lawyers’ Careers: Inequality and Opportunity in the American Legal Profession” \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.

SUMMARY:2024 February 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\, Christopher W. Schmidt. \nComplimentary Zoom Event\, register to receive Zoom link. \n12:00 PM-1:00 PM EST. \nThe Defeat of John Parker and the Making of the Modern Supreme Court \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 now 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.

SUMMARY:2024 February National Fellows Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Please join the ABF Fellows for a National Webinar presentation by ABF Affiliated Research Professor\, Dylan C. Penningroth. \nComplimentary Webinar Event\, register to receive Webinar link. \n1:00-2:00 PM CT. \n“Before the Movement: The Hidden History of Black Civil Rights” \nIn this webinar\, acclaimed historian Dylan C. Penningroth will present from his new book\, “Before the Movement: The Hidden History of Black Civil Rights.”  \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.” \nQuestion and answer session to follow moderated by ABF Research Professor and former Executive Director Ajay K. Mehrotra. \nEvent Recording:\nhttps://vimeo.com/917166696/9191ced53c?share=copy

SUMMARY:2024 February Arizona Fellows Hybrid Presentation and Cocktail Reception
DESCRIPTION:Please join the Arizona Fellows for a presentation by ABF Research Professor\, Laura Beth Nielsen. \nHybrid: Virtual/In-Person (Offices Cohen Dowd Quigley\, Phoeniz\, Arizona) \n4:00 PM MT presentation/In-person cocktail reception immediately following \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. \nThe Fellows gratefully recognize Event Sponsor:

SUMMARY:New York Fellows Virtual Program
DESCRIPTION:Please join the New York State Co-Chairs\, Vince Chang and Adrienne Koch for a virtual presentation by ABF Research Professor\, William H.J. Hubbard. \nZoom Presentation\, register to receive Zoom link. \n12:30-1:30 PM. \nJustice for Sale: Exposing the Hidden Markets in Civil Procedure and Finding Ways to Regulate Them Sensibly \nA centuries-old lament is that justice is for sale—the rich benefit from the courts\, while the poor struggle for relief. This is so\, even as a thick web of constitutional and procedural rights seem to insulate the civil justice process from market forces. This book project considers the extent to which the market dynamics that describe our broader economy—buying\, selling\, prices\, barter—exist in the domain of civil procedure\, and what can be done about it. \nThis project offers both empirical and theoretical contributions. Empirically\, it marshals a wide array of empirical evidence to show how procedural rules and court practices reproduce\, rather than counterbalance\, the market forces and economic inequalities that exist outside the courtroom. Theoretically\, we develop the surprising insight that the market forces\, if properly harnessed\, can be more effective at remedying the inequities in civil litigation than traditional forms of regulation.

Please RSVP by Wednesday\, September 13. \nPlease join the Missouri Fellows at the Kansas City\, MO office of Polsinelli for breakfast and a presentation titled “Crypto Fever and the Betrayal of “Trustless Trust”” by ABF researcher Susan Shapiro. This event is in conjunction with the Missouri State Bar Meeting\, taking place September 13-15. \nBreakfast to be served at 7:00 AM \nPresentation to commence at 7:30 AM \nCrypto Fever and the Betrayal of “Trustless Trust” \nThe raison d’etre of cryptocurrency is to be “trustless”—to jettison the intermediaries and central authorities (what its creator called “trust”) upon which the traditional financial system relies. Crypto offers “trustless trust\,” replacing trust with technology and deploying a buzzword that denotes safety and privacy of transactions untethered to the state or corporate third parties. But are they? This presentation traces the evolution of crypto and exposes a facade of trustlessness\, with many of the vulnerabilities that digital currency was invented to escape and without the safeguards\, regulation\, or insurance that protect customers of traditional financial institutions. \n  \nThe Fellows gratefully recognize event sponsor:

SUMMARY:New York Fellows Hybrid Lunch Program
DESCRIPTION:Open to Fellows and nominees only. \nPatricia E.

Jacksonville Law School Dean Nick Allard (former Dean of Brooklyn Law School) wrote a review for the ABA. Through arrangements with the State and Local Government Law Section\, ABA members can purchase the book at the ABA Bookstore here. For more information check out Dr. Salkin’s blog. \n  \nEvent Location: \nNixon Peabody \n\n\n\n55 W 46th St Tower 46\n\nNew York\, NY 10036 \n*please note: this is a different location than usual \n  \nThe Fellows gratefully recognize Event Sponsor:

SUMMARY:Illinois Fellows and ABA Business Law Section Joint Event
DESCRIPTION:Registration Now Open! \n$80/person. Open to Fellows\, Nominees\, ABA Business Law Section Members\, and guests. \nJoin the Illinois Fellows and the ABA Business Law Section in town for the Chicago ABA Business Law Section Fall meeting for dinner\, drinks\, and a presentation by ABF Researcher Professor Emeritus\, John Hagan. \n  \n7:00-7:30 Open Beer and Wine Bar \n7:30-8:00 Dinner \n8:00-9:00 Presentation and Q&A \nDrinks and food will be available throughout the entire event. \nVenue:\nLabriola \n535 N Michigan Ave \nChicago\, IL 60611 \n  \nChicago’s Reckoning: Racism\, Politics\, and the Deep History of Policing in an American City \nChicago police detective Jon Burge oversaw the torture – from the 1970s through the early 1990s – of more than 100 Black men (the exact number is unknown). Our recent book\, Chicago’s Reckoning\, documents how this torture swept through Chicago’s segregated south side neighborhoods. The book reveals how Richard M. Daley\, both as State’s Attorney and then as Mayor\, consistently denied knowledge of Burge’s “midnight torture crew\,” while the City’s Law Department paid nearly a billion dollars to settle civil suits arising from these cases. Finally\, in 2010\, Department of Justice U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald prosecuted Burge for perjury and obstruction of justice – but not torture – resulting in a four-year sentence that was later reduced. We discovered in a sidebar transcript that at trial Fitzgerald’s prosecutors presented more extensive evidence of Burge’s criminal activities that was acknowledged but overruled for presentation in open court. The result was a kind of “code of silence” that can conceal high-level corruption. This corruption is a backdrop to a larger Chicago story to be presented in this lecture.

SUMMARY:Oklahoma Fellows National Event
DESCRIPTION:View of a recording of the event below: \n\nFree event. Open to all Fellows and nominees. \nFeatured Presentation: “Killers of the Flower Moon: An Osage Perspective” with speaker\, Principal Chief Geoffrey Standing Bear\, Osage Nation and opening remarks by D. Michael McBride III\, Crowe and Dunlevy\, P.C. \nIn the early 1920s\, the western U.S. was shaken by a series of murders targeting Osage people after oil is discovered on their land. One hundred years later\, the Osage Nation is still grappling with the losses and working to bring attention to the atrocities of the period often referred to as the “Reign of Terror.” \nChief Standing Bear will share his thoughts about Author David Grann and his book\, Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI. In reference to the forthcoming movie based on these events\, he will also speak about his experience with the Director\, Martin Scorsese\, and the actors in the film\, including their joint efforts to ensure the portrayals were factual\, authentic\, presented in the native Osage language\, and in keeping with Osage history and culture. Mr. McBride will give opening remarks about that time in Oklahoma history and the legal happenings surrounding these murders\, most of which remain unsolved to this day. \nPlease mark your calendars and register today for this fascinating program. It is an important if tragic intersection of our laws and the legal system with greed\, treachery\, murder and justice — set within the early histories of Oklahoma and the FBI. \n  \nThe Fellows gratefully recognize event sponsor:  \n \n

SUMMARY:New Mexico Fellows Breakfast at the NM State Bar Annual Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Free Event. Open to Fellows and nominees only. \nFeatured Presentation: “Cooperation Without Submission” with Professor of Anthropology at the University of California\, Irvine and Faculty Fellow at the American Bar Foundation\, Justin Richland.  \nIt is well-known that there is a complicated relationship between Native American Tribes and the US government. These relations are dominated by the principle that the government is supposed to engage in meaningful consultations with the tribes about issues that affect them. In this presentation\, Justin B. Richland\, an associate justice of the Hopi Appellate Court\, closely examines the language employed by both Tribes and government agencies in over eighty hours of meetings between the two. Richland shows how Tribes conduct these meetings using language that demonstrates their commitment to nation-to-nation interdependency\, while federal agents appear to approach these consultations with the assumption that federal law is supreme and ultimately authoritative. In other words\, Native American Tribes see themselves as nations with some degree of independence\, entitled to recognition of their sovereignty over Tribal lands\, while the federal government acts to limit that authority. \n  \nThe Fellows gratefully recognize event sponsor: \n \n
