SUMMARY:Speaker Series: Asad L. Asad
DESCRIPTION:Some eleven million undocumented immigrants reside in the United States\, carving out lives amid a growing web of surveillance that threatens their and their families’ societal presence. Engage and Evade examines how undocumented immigrants navigate complex dynamics of surveillance and punishment\, providing an extraordinary portrait of fear and hope on the margins. \nAsad L. Asad brings together a wealth of research\, from intimate interviews and detailed surveys with Latino immigrants and their families to up-close observations of immigration officials\, to offer a rare perspective on the surveillance that undocumented immigrants encounter daily. He describes how and why these immigrants engage with various institutions—for example\, by registering with the IRS or enrolling their kids in public health insurance programs—that the government can use to monitor them. This institutional surveillance feels both necessary and coercive\, with undocumented immigrants worrying that evasion will give the government cause to deport them. Even so\, they hope their record of engagement will one day help them prove to immigration officials that they deserve societal membership. Asad uncovers how these efforts do not always meet immigration officials’ high expectations\, and how surveillance is as much about the threat of exclusion as the promise of inclusion. \nCalling attention to the fraught lives of undocumented immigrants and their families\, this superbly written and compassionately argued book proposes wide-ranging\, actionable reforms to achieve societal inclusion for all. \nTo register\, contact Sophie Kofman at skofman@abfn.org.  \n_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ \nAsad L. Asad is an Assistant Professor of Sociology at Stanford University and a Faculty Affiliate at the Center for Comparative Studies in Race and Ethnicity. His scholarly interests encompass social stratification; race\, ethnicity\, and immigration; surveillance and social control; and health. Asad’s current research agenda considers how institutional categories—in particular\, legal status—matter for multiple forms of inequality. His forthcoming book\, Engage and Evade: How Latino Immigrant Families Manage Surveillance in Everyday Life (Princeton University Press)\, examines how and why undocumented immigrants worried about deportation nonetheless engage with institutions whose records the government can use to monitor them. Additional research projects focus on the effects of immigration enforcement on health\, the role of the federal judiciary in immigration enforcement\, and the capacity of immigrant-serving organizations to counter the inequalities of the U.S. immigration system. \nAsad’s research has been published in several outlets\, including the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences\, Law & Society Review\, International Migration Review\, Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies\, and Social Science & Medicine. His work has received awards from the American Sociological Association\, including the Louis Wirth Award for Best Article given by the Section on International Migration\, and has been supported by the National Science Foundation and the Russell Sage Foundation. Asad earned his B.A. in Political Science and Spanish Language and Culture from the University of Wisconsin\, and his A.M. and Ph.D. in Sociology from Harvard University.

SUMMARY:Speaker Series: Stefan Vogler
DESCRIPTION:Limited scholarship examines LGBTQ+ people’s willingness to report crime victimization to law enforcement\, even though LGBTQ+ people face disproportionate rates of violent victimization. Relatedly\, LGBTQ+ people also report higher levels of contact with the police and are incarcerated at three times the rate of the general population\, suggesting that\, like other minoritized groups\, LGBTQ+ people face the paradox of being “over-policed and under-protected.” \nIn this context\, Stefan Vogler asks what affects LGBTQ+ people’s willingness to report future crime victimization. He draws on a first-of-its-kind national probability sample of both LGBTQ+ (N=803) and non-LGBTQ+ (N=682) people to address these questions. Vogler finds that many drivers of willingness to report are common across the two groups\, including legal cynicism\, race\, and age. At the aggregate level\, LGBTQ+ people report significantly lower level of willingness to report than non-LGBTQ+ people. However\, when disaggregated\, he finds that transgender and nonbinary people drive this finding. Vogler considers what this means for existing understandings of crime reporting behaviors\, as well as why findings may differ across the LGBTQ+ spectrum. \nTo register\, contact Sophie Kofman at skofman@abfn.org.  \n__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ \nStefan Vogler is a sociologist who studies sexuality-and gender-related issues in law\, science\, and health. He is currently an Assistant Professor of Sociology at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and an Affiliated Scholar with the American Bar Foundation. Vogler previously was a Research Scientist with NORC at the University of Chicago and held postdoctoral positions at Northwestern University and the University of California\, Irvine.  \nHis research is centrally concerned with processes of legal and social classification and their relationship to social inequalities and social change. Vogler has been particularly interested in how practices of measurement and categorization vary across institutional settings and overlap and interlock with gender\, sexuality\, race\, and nationality.  \nIn his first book\, Sorting Sexualities\, Vogler unpacks the politics of the techno-legal classification of sexuality in the United States. His study focuses specifically on state classification practices around LGBTQ people seeking asylum in the United States and sexual offenders being evaluated for carceral placement – two situations where state actors must determine individuals’ sexualities. Though these legal settings are diametrically opposed—one a punitive assessment\, the other a protective one—they present the same question: how do we know someone’s sexuality? Vogler reveals how different legal arenas take dramatically different approaches to classifying sexuality and use those classifications to legitimate different forms of social control. By delving into the histories behind these diverging classification practices and analyzing their contemporary reverberations\, Sorting Sexualities shows how the science of sexuality is far more central to state power than we realize.

SUMMARY:Speaker Series: Kristina Shull
DESCRIPTION:The early 1980s marked a critical turning point for the rise of modern mass incarceration in the United States. The Mariel Cuban migration of 1980\, alongside increasing arrivals of Haitian and Central American asylum-seekers\, galvanized new modes of covert warfare in the Reagan administration’s globalized War on Drugs. Using newly available government documents\, Shull demonstrates how migrant detention operates as a form of counterinsurgency at the intersections of U.S. war-making and domestic carceral trends. As the Reagan administration developed retaliatory enforcement measures to target a racialized specter of mass migration\, it laid the foundations of new forms of carceral and imperial expansion. \nReagan’s war on immigrants also sowed seeds of mass resistance. Drawing on critical refugee studies\, community archives\, protest artifacts\, and oral histories\, Detention Empire also shows how migrants resisted state repression at every turn. People in detention and allies on the outside—including legal advocates\, Jesse Jackson’s Rainbow Coalition\, and the Central American peace and Sanctuary movements—organized hunger strikes\, caravans\, and prison uprisings to counter the silencing effects of incarceration and speak truth to U.S. empire. As the United States remains committed to shoring up its borders in an era of unprecedented migration and climate crisis\, reckoning with these histories takes on new urgency. \nTo register\, contact Sophie Kofman at skofman@abfn.org.  \n__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ \nKristina Shull is an Assistant Professor and Director of Public History at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. Her research interests include immigration history\, mass incarceration\, U.S. foreign relations\, social movements\, climate migration\, the Cold War\, and public history. \nShull’s first monograph\, Invisible Bodies: Immigration Crisis and Private Prisons Since the Reagan Era\, is currently under contract with UNC Press’s Justice\, Power\, and Politics series. It explores the rise of immigration detention in the United States in the early 1980s as a form of counter-insurgent warfare in Reagan’s Cold War on immigrants. \nShe also directs a digital humanities project titled “Climate Refugee Stories\,” about migration\, borders\, and the fight for climate justice. This multimedia archive and public education project employs Participatory Action Research methods and is built in collaboration with a global team of migrants and refugees\, students\, interdisciplinary scholars\, artists\, and non-profit organizations. \nShe has a forthcoming article in a special issue of Abolition: A Journal of Insurgent Politics on Abolitionist Feminisms titled\, “QTGNC Stories from Detention and Abolitionist Imaginaries\, 1980-Present\,” and she is also currently conducting research for a second book project titled\, Immigration Detention and Histories of Resistance.

SUMMARY:Speaker Series: Arzoo Osanloo
DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, Arzoo Osanloo will explore the persistence of the logic of mercy as a global zeitgeist. She will do so through two seemingly divergent\, yet overlapping and co-constituting prisms\, criminal sanctioning and humanitarianism. In doing so\, she aims to show how pardons and humanitarian care\, respectively\, construe mercy and\, she argues\, have overtaken the post-WWII initiative to expand human rights as a means to address inequity in social relations\, thus constituting one of the most enduring ideologies of our time. \n\nTo register\, contact Sophie Kofman at skofman@abfn.org.  \nArzoo Osanloo is a Professor in the Department of Law\, Societies\, and Justice and the Director of the University of Washington’s Middle East Center. She also holds adjunct appointments in the School of Law and the Departments of Anthropology\, Near Eastern Languages and Civilization\, Gender\, Women’s and Sexuality Studies\, and Comparative Religion. She earned her Ph.D. in Cultural Anthropology at Stanford University in 2002. Prior to that\, she practiced law\, having received a J.D. from The American University in 1993. \nAs a former immigration and asylum/refugee attorney\, Professor Osanloo became concerned with the fraught but often neglected relationship between ‘culture’ and ‘rights.’ As a legal anthropologist\, her research and teaching focus on the intersection of law\, culture\, and politics\, including human rights and humanitarianism. Her research explores the formations of women’s rights and human rights in cultural contexts and draws on continuing ethnographic fieldwork in Iran. Her first project explored the politicization of ‘rights talk’ and women’s subjectivities in post-revolutionary Iran\, and resulted in the book\, The Politics of Women’s Rights in Iran (Princeton University Press\, 2009). Her courses focus on human rights\, refugee rights and identity\, humanitarianism\, post-conflict reconciliation\, and women’s rights in Muslim societies. \nProfessor Osanloo is currently working on a new research project that examines the Islamic mandate of forgiveness\, compassion\, and mercy in Iran’s criminal sanctioning system\, jurisprudential scholarship\, and everyday acts among pious Muslims. This new research project considers the Muslim mandate of forgiveness or forbearance as a central ordering component of an Islamic way of life. Her interest is not simply in the texts of the sources\, Qur’an and Hadiths\, but also in how pious Muslims practice forgiveness\, forbearance\, mercy\, and compassion in everyday life. That is\, how does this compulsion to Muslims manifest through social interaction\, law\, and states politics? Iran’s criminal sanctioning laws are one specific focus of this work\, laws which permit individual forgiveness (not to be confused with the state pardon). One of the aims of this study will be to appraise the relationship between the legal and social manifestation of forgiveness to a certain understanding of human rights. In addition\, the work will assess how the Muslim compulsion to forgive and forbear may potentially play a role in reconciliation and transitional justice\, and how gender (symbolically and literally) figures into forgiveness. \nBesides working on book projects\, Professor Osanloo has published in numerous edited volumes and peer-reviewed journals\, including American Ethnologist\, Cultural Anthropology\, Political and Legal Anthropology Review\, and Iranian Studies.

SUMMARY:Speaker Series: 2023-25 Doctoral Fellows
DESCRIPTION:To register\, contact Sophie Kofman at skofman@abfn.org.  \nReyna Hernandez: Bureaucracies of Innocence: Reentry and Remedy After Wrongful Conviction\nThe extant literature on life after wrongful conviction is foundational to examining how exonerees experience reentry. This scholarship primarily focuses on the social and psychological challenges exonerees face after wrongful incarceration\, including prolonged trauma and stigma\, and how they affect exonerees’ reentry processes. While offering essential insights into the effects of wrongful conviction and incarceration on exonerees’ personal lives\, this work only scratches the surface of exploring how criminal legal contact shapes exonerees’ everyday lives. As in life after incarceration for “rightfully” convicted people\, wrongfully convicted and exonerated individuals must interact with and incorporate themselves into institutions and organizations that become crucial to accessing the tangible and intangible resources and services they need through their transitions into the outside world. Moreover\, while law and policy are continually embedded into exonerees’ daily lives within and outside of these institutional and organizational contexts\, research on these relational dynamics is lacking. Reyna Hernandez’s research utilizes participant observation and in-depth interviews with exonerees\, innocence lawyers\, and innocence organization staff; content analysis; and visual methods (photo-elicitation) to triangulate exonerees’ experiences and organizational perspectives on facilitating and accessing exonerees’ post-incarceration needs. These include the legal and extralegal processes and mechanisms these actors might activate to advance remedies to wrongful conviction. Ultimately\, this work seeks to offer ways to improve and reimagine how best to compensate the wrongfully convicted by examining the bureaucracies that directly affect how exonerees access and receive reparations after wrongful incarceration\, further illustrating how entanglement with U.S. carceral institutions perpetually affect innocent people. \n__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ \nBrandon Honoré: Land Use Regulations and the Racial Inequality of Institutionalized Trustworthiness  \nBrandon Honoré examines the socio-legal construction of racial wealth inequality by investigating the relationship between land use regulations and institutionalized indicators of trustworthiness. He hypothesizes that exclusionary zoning not only contributes to segregation\, but also racial wealth inequality\, by asymmetrically distributing risks across racial groups. The asymmetric distribution of risks—both environmental hazards and the hazards of social exclusion—consequently contribute to institutionalized wealth inequality. Honoré combines data from the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act\, Toxics Release Inventory\, American Community Survey\, and Chicago Metropolitan Area for Planning Land Use Survey to build models of the Chicago region. By examining a single metropolis\, he will track interdependencies among communities both within the urban core and across the suburban periphery as risk and institutional credibility are (re)allocated across spaces over time. \n__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ \nPortia Xiong: Admitted but not Advanced: Diversity\, Minor Feelings and Asian and Asian American Law Students in the United States\nThis ethnographic project looks at why anti-Asian biases\, prejudices\, discriminations\, and violence still persist in legal education while Asian and Asian American presence is rapidly increasing by investigating three interconnected questions. First\, how does race impact Asian and Asian American law students’ everyday lives in white institutional spaces? It will compare and contrast the intergroup and intragroup dynamics of the Asian group and the Asian American group to explore how citizenship status stratifies their racialized law school experiences. Special attention will be paid to their experiences of racial biases\, prejudices\, and discriminations. Second\, how does racial identity intersect with other identities such as gender\, class\, sexual orientation\, religion\, and country of origin in each group? It will pay attention to how the Asian group and the Asian American group socialize with people from different racial backgrounds as an effort to refute the stereotype that Asians and Asian Americans are monolithic groups. For instance\, who do they make friends with at law schools? Who do they include in their study groups and recreational activities? Thirdly\, how do they respond\, resist\, or relate to marginalization and exclusion emotionally and cognitively in white institutional spaces like law schools? It will focus on their emotional labor and cognitive labor in dealing with racial oppression by documenting what Cathy Park Hong calls “minor feelings”: the emotions felt by marginalized minority groups in a predominantly white space\, feelings that are both ignored and considered excessive.

SUMMARY:Speaker Series: Emily Rong Zhang
DESCRIPTION:Each redistricting cycle presents an opportunity for minority groups to translate demographic growth and changes in residential patterns into political power. That it occurs typically only once every ten years following each decennial census makes this opportunity all the more momentous. And for Native persons\, this opportunity has been hard-won: in some cases\, it has taken decades of litigation to challenge districts that diluted the Native vote\, either through cracking (fracturing the population across several districts) or packing (concentrating Native persons into a few districts with lopsided majorities). \nYet identifying redistricting opportunities\, seized or missed\, is not analytically straightforward. This project\, the first of its kind\, evaluates how Native persons fared in the last redistricting cycle (following the 2010 census) and in the latest redistricting cycle (following the 2020 census). I measure the spatial dispersion of Native populations in every state in which Native persons constitute a numerically significant minority (Alaska\, Arizona\, Montana\, New Mexico\, North Dakota\, South Dakota\, and Wyoming)\, analyzing the districting schemes of both lower and upper chambers of each state legislature. \nCombining census data with districting shapefile data\, and adapting a measure called “partisan dislocation” developed to assess partisan gerrymandering\, I measure Native dislocation: it is the difference between the racial composition of each district and that of each Native person’s geographic neighborhood. When that difference is large\, there are either proportionally more Native persons in the district than in their immediate neighborhood (an indication of concentration) or proportionally fewer (an indication of dispersion). \nThe analysis reveals both the enduring contribution and growing limitations of Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act\, which is responsible for the creation of many majority-Native districts\n(districts in which Native voters constitute more than a majority of the district’s population). While the Act is still responsible for the maintenance of historically majority-Native districts\, it is unable to translate increasing Native voting strength into electoral power beyond those districts. \nTo register\, contact Sophie Kofman at skofman@abfn.org.  \n\nEmily Rong Zhang is an Assistant Professor of Law at the University of California\, Berkeley\, School of Law. She studies how the law can promote political participation and representation\, especially of individuals from historically disadvantaged communities. Before joining Berkeley\, she was a Skadden Fellow at the ACLU Voting Rights Project.

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. Salkin discusses her book titled “May it Please the Campus: Lawyers Leading Higher Education.” This event features a panel of local higher education leaders of New York Universities. \nPatricia E. Salkin– Senior VP of Academic Affairs\, Provost\, Graduate and Professional Divisions and Professor of Law\, Touro University | Life Fellow\, ABF \nMichelle Anderson – President\, Brooklyn College \nKarol Mason – President\, John Jay College of Criminal Justice \nLaura Rosenbury -President\, Barnard College | Patron Fellow\, ABF \nJohn Sexton – Former President\, NYU | Life Fellow\, ABF \nLaura Sparks – President\, Cooper Union \nFrank Wu – President\, Queens College | Life Fellow\, ABF \nPlease join ABF member Dr. Patricia Salkin as she discusses her recent book through a Q & A format with a panel of distinguished lawyer presidents leading New York City’s most prestigious colleges and universities. The data-driven book discusses the role of lawyers as college and university presidents dating back to the 1700s and how today\, there are more lawyers than at any point in history running institutions of higher education. As you will learn\, the Presidents are not only former law professors and law deans but partners in major law firms\, government lawyers and leaders in the non-profit sector. This is a topic that has received little attention until the publication of this award-winning book that was recognized for exemplary legal writing by The Green Bag Blog  and was reviewed as one of the best four law related books by Professor Nancy Rapaport of UNLV School of Law. 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:Speaker Series: K-Sue Park
DESCRIPTION:Dr. K-Sue Park will be presenting on her forthcoming law review article. This paper offers a history of the American title registry and its role in expanding the jurisdictional power of the English colonies in America\, and then the United States. It argues that the examination\, historical or theoretical\, of U.S. sovereignty and property institutions\, such as the registry\, must depart from and center the question of the prior and ongoing sovereignty of Native nations across this land. \nTo register for this event\, contact Sophie Kofman at skofman@abfn.org. \n_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ \nK-Sue Park is an Associate Professor of Law at Georgetown University Law Center. Her scholarship examines the development of American property law and the creation of the American real estate market through the histories of colonization and enslavement. She teaches first-year Property and a seminar entitled Land\, Dispossession\, and Displacement. Previously\, she was the Critical Race Studies Fellow at UCLA School of Law and an Equal Justice Works Fellow and staff attorney in El Paso\, where she investigated predatory mortgage lending schemes as part of Texas RioGrande Legal Aid’s foreclosure defense team. \nPark earned her B.A. summa cum laude\, Phi Beta Kappa honors from Cornell University\, where she was a College Scholar\, her M.Phil. with Distinction in Social and Political Sciences from the University of Cambridge\, her J.D. cum laude from Harvard Law School\, where she was a Presidential Scholar\, and her Ph.D. in Rhetoric from UC Berkeley\, where she was a Javits Fellow. She was also a Fulbright Scholar in South Korea in 2003. \nIn 2015\, her article\, “Money\, Mortgages\, and the Conquest of America\,” won the American Bar Foundation’s Law & Social Inquiry Graduate Student Paper Competition and the Association for Law\, Culture and the Humanities’ Austin Sarat Award\, and was selected for the Law and Humanities Junior Scholar Workshop.

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:Speaker Series: Gregory Elinson
DESCRIPTION:“Over the past decade\, prominent progressive voices in the legal academy have reached a new consensus. Robust\, American-style\, judicial review is no balm to progressive causes — rather\, it is inherently anti-progressive. The judiciary\, they say\, has regularly interfered with legislative and executive efforts to protect minority rights and remedy economic inequality. Thus\, they conclude\, progressives ought to stop defending judicial review and instead devote their energies to eliminating (or limiting) it. Embedded in their critique are two related empirical claims: first\, that the judiciary in general and the Supreme Court in particular have been consistently less progressive than the other branches; and\, second\, that landmark progressive rulings in cases like Brown v. Board of Education and Roe v. Wade were not\, in and of themselves\, meaningful contributions to the progressive cause. \nThis Article considers the evidence in support of these claims and argues that judicial review’s progressive critics are wrong on both counts. For one\, we contend that critics underestimate just how anti-progressive American politics\, independent of judicial intervention\, have usually been. Revisiting the key cases on which the progressive critique is based\, we find little evidence for the proposition that the judiciary has consistently been more anti-progressive than the elected branches. Rather\, we suggest that few durable progressive coalitions have ever been latent such that we can say with any confidence that\, but for judicial intervention\, they would have surfaced in Congress or the executive. For another\, the Article finds little evidence that progressive judicial interventions have been mostly sizzle\, with little substance. To the contrary\, we find empirical support for the proposition that landmark progressive rulings in cases like Brown and Roe mattered quite a bit. Brown\, recent historiography makes clear\, eased passage of federal civil rights legislation\, while Roe established a far more permissive abortion regime than would have been feasible to achieve through the political process. \nStepping back from this empirical inquiry\, the Article takes an analytic turn. What is it about the judiciary’s role in American politics that judicial review’s progressive critics have missed? We have two answers. First\, we think that progressive critics offer a too-rosy account of the elected branches’ progressivism. Throughout American history\, both major political parties have effectively colluded to keep the rights of disfavored minorities off the political agenda. And drawing on an array of scholarship in law\, political science\, and history\, we find little evidence that electoral incentives consistently favor progressivism. Second\, we think there is better evidence to suggest that legal elites\, when freed of the pressures of coalition assembly and maintenance that constrain the elected branches\, have in fact been more progressive than Congress and the president. In earlier eras of American history\, we attribute this phenomenon to legal elites’ commitment to a stripped-down\, common-law constitutionalism. In more recent decades\, we attribute this phenomenon in large part to the role of educational polarization\, which has tended to make the elite bar—and thus the pool of actual and potential judges and justices—relatively more open to progressive arguments.” \nTo register\, contact Sophie Kofman at skofman@abfn.org.  \n__________________________________________________________________________________________________________ \nGregory Elinson is an Assistant Professor of Law at Northern Illinois University College of Law.

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

SUMMARY:Portland Fellows Hybrid Reception Program
DESCRIPTION:Free Event. Open to Fellows and nominees only. \nFeatured Presentation: “The Making of Lawyers’ Careers: Inequality and Opportunity in the American Legal Profession” with Professor of Sociology and Law at Northwestern University and Director Emeritus & MacCrate Research Chair at The American Bar Foundation: Robert Nelson.  \nThis program will present material from the forthcoming 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. \nCocktail reception begins at 5:00 p.m.\nPresentation to commence at 6:00 p.m. \nThe Fellows Gratefully Recognize Event Sponsor:

Open to Fellows\, nominees\, and DC Bar members only. \nFeatured Presentation: “Democracies\, International Law and the Ukraine War” with Professor of International Law and Political Science at University of Chicago and American Bar Foundation Research Professor\, Tom Ginsburg.  \nDemocracies and authoritarian regimes have different approaches to international law\, grounded in their different forms of government. In the face of rising authoritarianism\, understanding what international law can and cannot do in defense of democracy has become a crucial question. This talk will lay out the implications of Ginsburg’s book\, Democracies and International Law for the war in Ukraine\, which has served as a wakeup call for the liberal order but also may be hastening its demise.

Migrant struggle with the law – in transnational disputes over taxation\, immigration\, and detention between 1940s and 1960s – form a lesser-known archive for decolonization. A critical reading of this archive offers insights into the contours of citizenship today and offers opportunities to reflect on continuities in conversations around belonging\, loyalty\, displacement\, and dispossession. \nThis speaker will present virtually\, with the option to view in-person at the ABF. To register\, contact Sophie Kofman at skofman@abfn.org.  \n\nKalyani Ramnath is an Assistant Professor in the department of History at the Franklin College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Georgia. She is a historian of modern South Asia\, with research and teaching interests in legal history\, histories of migration and displacement\, transnational history\, and questions of archival method. Her first book\, Boats in a Storm: Law\, Migration\, and Decolonization in South and Southeast Asia 1942 – 1962 is forthcoming with Stanford University Press in August 2023.

SUMMARY:New York Fellows Hybrid Lunch Program
DESCRIPTION:This event is free to attend. Open to Fellows and nominees only. Registration is now open! \nTo attend this program in-person\, all guests should be fully vaccinated  \nFeatured Presentation: “The Paradox of Africa’s International Courts” with 2022-23 ABF William H. Neukom Fellows Research Chair in Diversity in Law Professor James Thuo Gathii  \nEstablished as engines of market liberalization or trade courts\, Africa’s international trade courts have instead become promoters of human rights\, the rule of law\, good governance\, the protection of the environment and lately free and fair elections. The legacy of these post-cold war courts challenges the precedence of trade over human rights in other regional trade courts as well as in the World Trade Organization. Relying on case law from trade courts in East\, West and Southern Africa\, this presentation will show how human rights causes have been advanced and promoted within trade integration courts. Ultimately\, the presentation will explore the implications this has for how we should think of classic paradigm of international courts that is based on a strict division of between those that specialize in human rights and those that specialize in trade matters. \nLunch available at 12:00 p.m.\nPresentation to commence at 12:30 p.m. \nFor in-person attendees only: This program will provide 1 hour of Professional Practice CLE credit for both experienced and newly-admitted attorneys.  Please note that\, in accordance with CLE Board Regulations\, if you are late or leave early\, you will not receive CLE credit. \nThe Fellows gratefully recognize:

SUMMARY:San Diego Fellows Breakfast Program
DESCRIPTION:$10 in-person registration \nComplimentary virtual registration \n  \nFeatured Presentation: “The Impact of Gruesome Photographs on Mock Jury Decisions” with Nathaniel L. Nathanson Professor of Law at Northwestern University and American Bar Foundation Research Professor\, Janice Nadler.  \nIn both civil and criminal proceedings\, judges and juries are faced with a barrage of evidence and argument displayed in visual form – sometimes gruesome in nature. This project investigates how emotionally evocative modes of visual evidence can affect the psychology of jurors’ decision making processes\, through influence on emotions\, attention to evidence\, and legal judgments at the individual and group level. We developed a video of a simulated trial in a murder case\, and recruited community members to participate in mock juries either in person (pre-pandemic) or on zoom (post-pandemic). We found that viewing gruesome photos make jurors more conviction prone. Jury deliberation in person attenuated these affects. Surprisingly\, jury deliberation online exacerbated the conviction prone tendencies of jurors exposed to gruesome photos. We will explore various interventions such as color v. black-and-white photos\, and jury instructions as a potential safeguard.

SUMMARY:Speaker Series: Kevin Kenny
DESCRIPTION:Today the United States considers immigration and border control a federal matter. Before the Civil War\, however\, the federal government played virtually no role in regulating immigration. \nIn this presentation\, based on his recently published book The Problem of Immigration in a Slaveholding Republic: Policing Mobility in the Nineteenth-Century United States\, (Oxford University Press\, 2023)\, Kevin Kenny will demonstrate how the existence\, abolition\, and legacies of slavery shaped the emergence of a national immigration policy in the nineteenth century. For a century after the American Revolution\, states controlled mobility within and across their borders and set their own rules for community membership. Throughout the antebellum era\, defenders of slavery feared that\, if Congress gained control over immigration\, it could also regulate the movement of free black people and even the interstate slave trade. The Civil War and the abolition of slavery removed the political and constitutional obstacles to a national immigration policy\, yet they did not make that policy inevitable. The first national immigration controls were directed not at immigrants generally\, but at Chinese immigrants in particular. Admission remained the norm for Europeans; Chinese laborers were excluded through techniques of registration\, punishment\, and deportation first used against free black people in the antebellum South. The federal government continues to control admissions and exclusions today but tensions within federalism\, rooted in nineteenth-century history\, remain important to the lives of immigrants after arrival. Some states monitor and punish immigrants\, while others offer sanctuary and refuse to act as agents of federal law enforcement\, echoing the personal liberty laws passed in response to fugitive slave acts in the antebellum era. Revealing the tangled origins of border control\, incarceration\, and deportation\, this presentation sheds light on the history of race and belonging in America\, as well as ongoing conflicts between state and federal authority over immigration today. \nThis speaker will present virtually\, with the option to view in-person at the ABF. To register\, contact Sophie Kofman at skofman@abfn.org.  \n_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ \nKevin Kenny is Glucksman Professor of History at New York University.

SUMMARY:Speaker Series: Bryan Sykes
DESCRIPTION:Criminal justice contact is a key stratifying institution in American life. By the close of 2020\, almost 3.9 million non-incarcerated people were under community supervision (probation or parole)\, representing nearly 68% of the adult correctional population. Although the number of people incarcerated has declined since the Great Recession\, alternatives to incarceration may introduce new pathways to inequality because compliance with court-ordered diversionary and rehabilitation programs rely heavily on access to resources\, such as money\, information\, and time. While there has been a considerable expansion of literature on the consequences of monetary sanctions imposed at sentencing\, less is known about how alternatives to incarceration can produce other financial punishments that intersect and amplify inequality within the criminal legal system. In this paper\, we show how shadow costs – financial outlays and expenditures not immediately quantifiable by the state but nevertheless ordered as a part of a reentry or rehabilitation treatment program — financially burden defendants\, probationers\, and parolees beyond the monetary sanctions imposed by courts. Our findings reveal that these shadow costs structure a bifurcated system of justice that facilitates the creation of markets for freedom that are dependent on poverty and inequality. \nThis speaker will present in-person at the ABF\, with the option to view the presentation virtually.

He applies and develops demographic\, statistical\, and mixed methodologies to understand changing patterns of inequality — nationally and abroad. His research has appeared in general and multidisciplinary science\, social science\, and medical journals.

SUMMARY:Speaker Series: Ifeoma Ajunwa
DESCRIPTION:The information revolution has ushered in a data-driven reorganization of the workplace. Big data and AI are used to surveil workers and shift risk. Workplace wellness programs appraise our health. Personality job tests calibrate our mental state. The monitoring of social media and surveillance of the workplace measure our social behavior. With rich historical sources and contemporary examples\, The Quantified Worker explores how the workforce science of today goes far beyond increasing efficiency and threatens to erase individual personhood. With exhaustive detail\, Ifeoma Ajunwa shows how different forms of worker quantification are enabled\, facilitated\, and driven by technological advances. Timely and eye-opening\, The Quantified Worker advocates for changes in the law that will mitigate the ill effects of the modern workplace. \nThis speaker will present virtually\, with the option to view in-person at the ABF. To register\, contact Sophie Kofman at skofman@abfn.org.  \n\n  \nIfeoma Ajunwa (@iajunwa) J.D.\, Ph.D.\, is an award-winning tenured law professor at the University of North Carolina School of Law.

SUMMARY:Speaker Series: Desiree Fields
DESCRIPTION:“Robot landlords are buying up houses.” Headlines like this one are not unusual these days. What are we to make of digital experiments with landed property? These experiments are wide-ranging\, encompassing the sale of tokenized fractional interests in LLCs attached to rental properties\, the brokering of land sales via Facebook livestream\, and metaverse environments that can defy the laws of physics yet remain wedded to market rule. In this talk\, Fields works toward an analysis of digital experiments with landed property in terms of the global\, the historical\, and the geographical. The yoking of property to modernity and civilization makes technological progress a fundamental part of how relationships to land are constituted and reconstituted\, and in whose interests\, throughout global capitalism. \nThis speaker will present virtually\, with the option to view in-person at the ABF. To register\, contact Sophie Kofman at skofman@abfn.org.  \n__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ \nDesiree Fields is an Associate Professor of Geography and Global Metropolitan Studies at the University of California\, Berkeley. Her research revolves around the role of housing in capitalist urbanization. She studies how efforts to render immoveable property into liquid capital unevenly restructure urban space and social relations\, and the urban struggles for justice that arise to contest this process of financialization. She aims to challenge the storied complexity of finance and its tendency to obfuscate public understanding through demystifying and concretizing the operations of financial capitalism in urban housing markets. She has opened up what financialization means for rental housing\, showing how it has deepened\, diversified\, and expanded globally with the aid of a wave of advances in digital technology in the post-2008 era. At its core\, her work is about how these processes of economic and technological change unevenly restructure urban space and the social relations of housing. Her scholarship speaks to developments that are central to the future of cities: the growing importance of finance to capitalism\, the turn to increasingly market-driven approaches to housing and urbanization\, and the digital revolution. \nShe has published widely on the relationships among housing financialization\, movements for justice\, and digital platforms in journals like Progress in Human Geography; Economic Geography; Housing\, Theory\, and Society; International Journal of Urban and Regional Research\, and; Urban Studies.
