SUMMARY:2024 September 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\, Elizabeth Mertz. \nComplimentary Zoom Event\, register to receive Zoom link. \n12:30-1:30 PM ET \n“From Deficit to Democracy Models in US Legal Education: The After Tenure Study” \nThe “After Tenure” study of law professors is examining the attitudes of the professors who shape students to be legal professionals. To our knowledge\, this is to date the only national\, random sample survey of law professors\, augmented by in-depth interviews with 100 of the survey respondents. We find a sharp division between law professors who focus on hierarchical models\, on the one hand\, and those who prioritize creating open educational settings and encourage diversity among students and faculty. Like research on bar exams and entry to the profession generally\, the After Tenure Study suggests a potential mismatch between the legal profession’s stated goals and practices.

SUMMARY:2024 September California Hybrid Lunch Event (Bay Area)
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:

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

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.

SUMMARY:New York Fellows Virtual Program
DESCRIPTION:Please join the New York Fellows for a complimentary virtual presentation by ABF Postdoctoral Fellow\, Sonya Rao. \nLearning Cultural Humility for Language Justice: Teaching to Work Across Languages \nIn this presentation\, Dr. Rao will describe results from her study on the state of training and education for law students to work across languages in law school clinics. Findings indicate concerns for access to justice\, civil rights violations\, and classroom inequality in law school clinics. She will also report on her parallel work as an advocate for language rights\, where concepts like language justice and cultural humility are taking hold in policy\, education\, and training\, and have potential to counteract these patterns. \nDr. Sonya Rao is the current ABF/NSF Postdoctoral Fellow in Law and Inequality. She received a Ph.D. in Anthropology at UCLA in 2021.
