SUMMARY:Fellows Events at the ABA SIL Annual Conference
DESCRIPTION:As a Fellow of the American Bar Foundation (ABF)\, you are invited to attend two events at the upcoming Annual Conference of the ABA Section of International (SIL) in Washington\, DC in April: \nSIL Luncheon \nWednesday\, April 10th (12:45 pm – 2:15 pm)  \nCapital Hilton\, 1001 16th Street\, Washington DC \n$95 per person \nThis luncheon will feature ABF Faculty Fellow Christopher Schmidt discussing his recently published book\, which tells the story of the lunch counter sit-in demonstrations that swept across the South in 1960 and the national debate they sparked over the meaning of the Constitution’s requirement that all Americans receive equal protection of the laws. \nNetworking Breakfast and ABF Ginsburg Panel \nThursday\, April 11th (8:00 am – 10:30 am) \nCapital Hilton\, 1001 16th Street\, Washington DC \n$25 per person \nJoin us for a networking breakfast (8:00am-9:00am)\, which will include a presentation on the Fellows and an opportunity to network with many SIL members who are actual or potential Fellows. Immediately following the breakfast (9:00am-10:30am)\, ABF Research Professor Tom Ginsburg will lead a panel bringing together a diverse set of practitioners and scholars to identify the role international institutions can play to address concerning about democratic backsliding in fledgling democracies. Professor Ginsburg is in the midst of an exciting research of the subject\, and the panel will include speakers who can discuss from personal experience the actions of regional trade blocs (which have been among the most active institutions in trying to arrest democratic backsliding)\, international human rights courts and international trade courts (which have also made a difference in particular cases) and bar associations (which have mobilized in very difficult environments to try to stem the tide against democratic backsliding) in protecting fledgling democracies.

SUMMARY:New York Fellows Luncheon
DESCRIPTION:This event is free to registerees.  \nFeatured Keynote: “Rights on Trial: How Employment Discrimination Law Perpetuates Inequality” with: \n\nRobert L. Nelson – ABF Director Emeritus and MacCrate Research Chair in the Legal Profession\nLaura Beth Nielsen – ABF Research Professor; Professor of Sociology and Law\, Director of Legal Studies\, Northwestern University\n\nOn the surface\, America’s commitment to equal opportunity in the workplace has never been clearer. Virtually every company has anti-discrimination policies in place\, and there are laws designed to protect these rights across a range of marginalized groups. This progressive vision of the law falls far short in practice. When aggrieved individuals turn to the law\, the adversarial character of litigation imposes considerable personal and financial costs that make plaintiffs feel like they’ve lost regardless of the outcome of their case. Employer defendants also are dissatisfied with the system\, often feeling “held up” by what they see as frivolous cases. And even when a case is resolved in the plaintiff’s favor\, the conditions that gave rise to the lawsuit rarely change. As a result\, the contemporary approach to workplace discrimination law perversely reinforces the very hierarchies that anti-discrimination laws were created to redress. \nLunch Available at 12:00 p.m.\nPresentation to commence at 12:30 p.m. \nThe Fellows gratefully recognize:

SUMMARY:New York Fellows Luncheon & CLE Presentation
DESCRIPTION:This event is free to registrees. \nFeatured CLE: “Practicing ‘God’s Law’ in a Secular World: The Lawyers of the Westboro Baptist Church\, 1964-2011” with Victoria Saker Woeste (ABF Research Professor) \nThe Westboro Baptist Church of Topeka\, Kansas\, founded in 1964 by the Rev. Fred W. Phelps Sr.\, has been labeled a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Clinic for its sustained campaign against LGBT people and\, in particular\, its opposition to the extension of civil rights to members of that group.  Yet between 1970 and 1989\, the church’s founder\, Fred Sr.\, established himself and his family law firm as the go-to plaintiffs’ attorneys for civil rights litigation in eastern Kansas.  Their reputation for advocacy in this area earned them public admiration but also the irritation of the federal district court bench. This research delves into the combative social context of post-Brown Topeka\, where racial separations and segregation were driven underground but flourished nevertheless in public education and private employment.  It explains why Phelps and his children believed that representing civil rights clients was an essential part of their scripturally-directed work \, and it lays the groundwork for understanding Phelps’s turn from pro-civil rights activism for African Americans to opposing civil rights for gay people after 1998. \nLunch Available at 12:00 p.m.\nCLE Presentation* to commence at 12:30 p.m. \n*This program will provide 1.0 hour of Areas of Professional Practice New York CLE credit for both experienced and newly-admitted attorneys. \nThe Fellows gratefully recognize:
