SUMMARY:Oregon Fellows Virtual Event
DESCRIPTION:This event is free to registerees.  \nJoin us after the presentation as we welcome new Fellows! \nFeatured Keynote: “Alternative Legal Professionals and Access to Justice: Failures\, Successes\, and an Evolving Innovation” with Stephen Daniels (ABF Research Professor) \nAccess to justice is an endemic problem and the traditional solutions have long shown themselves to be inadequate. As the 2017 Oregon State Bar Futures Task Force said\, “Despite more than two decades of efforts to encourage pro bono and unbundled legal services\, the problem has grown.” This underscores the need to think boldly about potential “innovations” for attacking the problem. An idea once anathema (even odious) to the legal profession is gaining traction (mostly in western states\, Oregon among them) –trained\, licensed non-lawyers authorized to perform “substantive law-related work” without an attorney’s supervision. Boldness\, however\, doesn’t assure success. Pursuing this innovation necessarily involves a leap of faith; but if states are seen as laboratories for innovation\, then tracking and analyzing the evolution of this bold idea in different states will provide insights into its future\, shape\, and workability. Despite the demise of the Washington State LLLT program\, the innovation itself has taken on a life of its own and is evolving – perhaps in unforeseen ways.

SUMMARY:New York Fellows Virtual Lunch Program
DESCRIPTION:This event is free to registerees.  \nFeatured Keynote: “Halfway Home: Race\, Punishment\, and the Afterlife of Mass Incarceration” with Reuben J. Miller (ABF Research Professor; Associate Professor\, University of Chicago Crown Family School of Social Work\, Policy\, and Practice) \nEach year\, more than half a million Americans are released from prison and join a population of twenty million people who live with a felony record. Professor Reuben Miller\, a chaplain at the Cook County Jail in Chicago and now a sociologist studying mass incarceration\, spent years alongside prisoners\, ex-prisoners\, their friends\, and their families to understand the lifelong burden that even a single arrest can entail. What his work revealed is a simple\, if overlooked truth: life after incarceration is its own form of prison. The idea that one can serve their debt and return to life as a full-fledge member of society is one of America’s most nefarious myths. Join us to hear Professor Miller’s research exploring the notion that America must acknowledge and value the lives of its formerly imprisoned citizens.\n\n\n\nThe Fellows gratefully recognize:

SUMMARY:Speaker Series: 2021-22 ABF Doctoral Fellows
DESCRIPTION:Brandon Alston: “The Camera is My Weapon:” How Black Men Use Cellphones to Negotiate Safety and Status Amid Police Surveillance\nCivilians frequently capture black men in cellphone-generated videos depicting police violence. Yet\, existing research ignores how black men use cellphones to mitigate risk during police encounters and the impact cellphone recording has within black communities. In this talk\, I examine how the threat of police violence shapes black men’s use of cellphones during police stops and the social dynamics that emerge from cellphone recording. Drawing on ten months of fieldwork and 70 in-depth interviews with black men living on the Southwest side of Chicago\, this study finds that vulnerability to police violence shapes men’s appropriation of cellphones to negotiate their safety and status as men. Armed with their cellphones as an instrumental tool to contest police violence\, men use their cellphones to protect against institutional and interpersonal acts of harm\, a strategy I refer to as “protective monitoring.” While monitoring police for safety\, men also use cellphones as a symbolic resource to project a multidimensional expression of manhood tied to fatherhood\, citizenship\, and redemption. By deploying their cellphones during police interventions\, men mitigate some of the consequences of criminalization\, appeal to dominant gender ideals\, and perform resistance to police as a community service. \nView Brandon’s ABF profile here. \n_____________________________________________________________________________________ \nIsabel Anadon: Interior Immigration Enforcement: Structural Mechanisms & the Punishment of Migrants in the United States\nThe regime of mass incarceration in the United States and the nation’s system of immigration and border enforcement are imagined as two distinct forms of state policing and punishment. However\, advocates\, historians and legal scholars argue that the U.S. deportation and detention center system is an extension of the carceral state. My research heeds these concerns and situates the entangled development between the current system of mass incarceration and immigration control particularly as it relates to the nation’s interior in the United States. More specifically\, this presentation provides evidence of a relationship between immigrant detention centers openings and prison building since 1980. For this study\, I build a novel dataset merging detention centers initiation dates with prison facility openings. Using a rare-event logistic regression model\, I provide evidence of how these institutions shape local community characteristics. Preliminary findings point to potential harmful socio-economic outcomes in places with high-level detention center development. \nMore generally\, this research pulls from my dissertation project\, Interior Immigration Enforcement: Structural Mechanisms & the Punishment of Migrants in the United States\, where I develop a framework to explicate how the mechanisms of interior immigration enforcement situate in local level immigration laws and policies; detention center proliferation; and the overly complex and taxed immigration court system. \nView Isabel’s ABF profile here. \n_____________________________________________________________________________________ \nAlex Reiss-Sorokin: The Costs of Access to Legal Information\nAlthough court decisions and legislation are considered public\, lawyers\, legal professionals\, and researchers depend on commercial services to access and effectively use them. This talk focuses on the costs of accessing legal information by investigating the development of one commercial service: Lexis. In the late 1960s\, before Lexis was one of the two dominant legal databases used in the United States\, it was a legal research system developed by a group of Ohio lawyers to improve access to legal information for Ohio lawyers. According to the vision of the Ohio Bar Automated Research (OBAR) organization\, the computer was to serve as an equalizer – eliminating differences in resources and status between lawyers. Based on ads\, internal reports\, conference presentations\, journal articles\, and correspondence\, this talk examines how a tool that was meant to expand access to legal information ended up making access more restricted and costly. This talk is part of a larger project that examines the ways in which legal information is made accessible and their implications on legal education and the quality and costs of legal services. \nView Alex’s ABF profile here.

SUMMARY:Speaker Series: Sydney Halpern
DESCRIPTION:During the third quarter of the twentieth century\, American biomedical researchers maintained a well-organized and fully entrenched regime for conducting experiments with inmates in U.S. reformatories and prisons. At the system’s core was the idea that participating in medical experiments was a vehicle for inmate rehabilitation. By making patriotic sacrifices for the greater good\, the story went\, the prisoner would undergo a redemptive transformation leading to social reintegration. Government-sponsored scientists and prison officials advanced these notions and with the assistance of a deferential press\, disseminated them to the broader public. \nThis presentation is part of a broader study of biomedical experimentation in World War II and early Cold War America published as Dangerous Medicine: The Story behind Human Experiments with Hepatitis (Yale University Press\, November 2021). Drawing on extensive archival research\, the book examines how elite U.S scientists established a moral framework that justified and normalized hazardous human experiments and won them access to custodial facilities for recruiting subjects. Researchers spun narratives that invoked dominant cultural imagery and appealed to the ethos and management concerns of institutional overseers. \nWhen arranging for experiments in prisons\, scientists promised participants certificates of service to be considered at inmates’ parole hearings. Multiple actors made the system of experimentation in prisons possible: university researchers; federal officials; wardens and other correctional officers; sympathetic journalists; and prisoners themselves. All cooperating parties promoted tales of inmate transformation\, advancing a view widely held till the 1970s: that conducting risk-laden medical experiments with prisoners was right and good. \n_____________________________________________________________________________________ \nSydney Halpern is a historical sociologist who studies biomedical science and the emergence of healthcare institutions and professions. Her recent work addresses moral and regulatory issues in human experimentation. Her recently published book\, Dangerous Medicine\, chronicles a thirty-year\, government-sponsored program in which American researchers deliberately infected people with hepatitis. The volume offers a sustained picture of how\, during World War II and the Cold War years\, scientists persuaded a large swath of the American public that hazardous human experiments were not only morally acceptable\, but also an exemplary expression of citizenship.  Halpern’s previous books include American Pediatrics: Social Dynamics of Professionalism (University of California Press\, 1988) and Lesser Harms: Morality of Risk in Medical Research (University of Chicago Press\, 2004).  Lesser Harms\, examining informal constraints on early vaccine testing\, won the Visiltear Award from the American Public Health Association.  Halpern earned her Ph.D. in Sociology at University of California\, Berkeley.  She has served as Professor of Sociology at the University of Illinois at Chicago\, and Vanderbilt University.  She is recipient of an Investigator Award in Health Policy Research from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation\, and a grant and multiple university fellowships from the National Endowment for the Humanities.  For Dangerous Medicine\, she received an award from the National Library of Medicine of National Institutes of Health.  Halpern is currently Lecturer of Medical Education at the Center for Bioethics and Medical Humanities\, Feinberg School of Medicine\, Northwestern University.

SUMMARY:National Fellows Webinar
DESCRIPTION:This event is free to registerees.  \n11:00 am PT / 12:00 am MT / 1:00pm CT / 2:00pm ET \nFeatured Keynote: “Building the Rule of Law: Firsthand Accounts from a Thirty-Year Global Campaign” with: \n\nElizabeth Anderson\, ABF Fellow; Executive Director\, World Justice Project\nMichael E. Flowers\, ABF Life Fellow; Director of Diversity and Inclusion & Attorney\, Steptoe & Johnson PLLC\nHomer Moyer\, Senior Counsel\, Miller & Chevalier Chartered\n\nModerated by:  \n\nJames Silkenat\, ABF Patron Fellow; Director & Treasurer\, World Justice Project; Partner\, Sullivan & Worcester LLP\n\nJoin the ABF to learn more about the story of an unprecedented volunteer effort that answered calls from around the world for rule of law assistance. Over the past 30 years\, more than 5\,000 unpaid volunteers\, ranging from young lawyers to Supreme Court Justices\, have responded through a series of initiatives often likened to a “rule of law Marshall Plan.” Hundreds of volunteers lived abroad without pay for a year or more in challenging\, occasionally dangerous\, circumstances. These inspiring efforts\, still ongoing\, have now extended to more than 100 countries. They have strengthened the rule of law and\, in the process\, changed the lives of countless people around the world\, as well as the lives of scores of American volunteers.

SUMMARY:New York Fellows Virtual Lunch Program
DESCRIPTION:This event is free to registerees.  \nFeatured Keynote: “Dog Whistle Politics: Past\, Present\, and ’22” with Ian Haney Lopez (William H. Neukom Fellows Research Chair in Diversity and Law; Chief Justice Earl Warren Professor of Public Law\, University of California\, Berkeley) \nIan Haney López teaches in the areas of race and constitutional law\, and is one of the nation’s leading thinkers on how racism has evolved since the civil rights era. His current research emphasizes the connection between racial divisions in society\, and growing wealth inequality in the United States. In Dog Whistle Politics: How Coded Racial Appeals Have Reinvented Racism and Wrecked the Middle Class (2014)\, Haney López details the fifty-year history of how politicians exploit racial pandering to fracture social solidarity and ultimately convince voters to support rule by the rich. Join us to learn more about how the political manipulation of coded racism has evolved\, and how an evidence-based approach to neutralizing political racism can build cross-racial solidarity.

SUMMARY:New York Fellows Virtual Lunch Program
DESCRIPTION:This event is free to registerees.  \nFeatured Keynote: “The Scandal of Predatory Cities” with Bernadette Atuahene (ABF Research Professor; Professor of Law\, Chicago-Kent College of Law) \nPredatory cities are urban areas where public officials systematically take property from residents and transfer it to public coffers\, intentionally or unintentionally violating domestic laws or basic human rights. Although this practice affects many urban areas\, US legal scholarship has almost completely overlooked the phenomenon of predatory cities. Against a backdrop of vulnerability\, certain legal and governance failures created structural opportunities for predation to advance at scale. Using Detroit as a case study\, this presentation identifies\, defines\, and examines this phenomenon\, which scholars and policy makers must begin to better understand and address. \nThe Fellows gratefully recognize:

SUMMARY:New York Fellows Virtual Lunch Program
DESCRIPTION:This event is free to registerees.  \nFeatured Keynote: “Civil Rights in America: A History” with Christopher Schmidt (ABF Research Professor; Associate Professor of Law\, Chicago-Kent College of Law) \nThe term “civil rights” has such a familiar presence in discussions about American politics and law that we tend to use it reflexively and intuitively\, but rarely do we stop to think about what exactly we mean when we use the term and why certain uses strike us as right or wrong. In this presentation\, Professor Christopher Schmidt tells the story of how Americans have fought over the meaning of civil rights from the Civil War through today. Through their struggles over what it means to live in a nation dedicated to protecting civil rights\, each generation has given the label new life and new meaning. Join the ABF to learn more about how the words we use to understand our world become objects of contestation and points of leverage for social\, political\, and legal action. \nClick here to purchase “Civil Rights in America: A History”\nEnter code SCHMIDT20 at checkout for 20% off! \nThe Fellows gratefully recognize:

SUMMARY:New York Fellows Virtual Lunch Program
DESCRIPTION:This event is free to registerees.  \nFeatured Keynote: “Why the Innocent Plead Guilty and the Guilty Go Free and Other Paradoxes of Our Broken Legal System.” with Hon. Jed S. Rankoff (Senior Judge\, US District Court\, Southern District of NY) \nHow can we be proud of a system of justice that often pressures the innocent to plead guilty? How can we claim that justice is equal when we imprison thousands of poor Black men for relatively modest crimes but rarely prosecute rich white executives who commit crimes having far greater impact? Join the ABF as Judge Jed Rakoff\, a leading authority on white-collar crime\, examines why innocent people plead guilty\, why high-level executives aren’t prosecuted\, and why the judiciary is curtailing its own constitutionally mandated power. This presentation will demonstrate the best aspects of our legal system\, the failure to live up to these ideals\, and the opportunity for practical reform to make our justice system truly just. \nThe Fellows gratefully recognize: \n \n

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.
