There are few intellectual movements in modern America in
political history more successful than the Federalist Society.
Created in 1982 to counterbalance what its founders considered
a liberal legal establishment, the organization gradually evolved
into the conservative legal establishment, and membership is
1 all but required for any conservative lawyer who hopes to enter
politics or the judiciary. It claims 40,000 members, including
four Supreme Court Justices, dozens of federal judges, and
every Republican attorney general since its inception. But its
power goes even deeper.
In Ideas with Consequences, Amanda Hollis-Brusky provides
the first comprehensive account of how the Federalist Society
exerts its influence. Drawing from a huge trove of documents,
transcripts, and interviews, she explains how the Federalist
Society managed to revolutionize the jurisprudence for a wide
variety of important legal issues. Many of these
issues-including the extent of federal government power,
the scope of the right to bear arms, and the parameters of
corporate political speech-had long been considered settled.
But the Federalist Society was able to upend the existing
conventional wisdom, promoting constitutional theories that
had previously been dismissed as ludicrously radical.
As Hollis-Brusky shows, the Federalist Society provided
several of the crucial ingredients needed to accomplish this
constitutional revolution. It serves as a credentialing institution
for conservative lawyers and judges and legitimizes novel
interpretations of the constitution that employ a conservative
framework. It also provides a judicial audience of like-minded
peers, which prevents the well-documented phenomenon of
conservative judges turning moderate after years on the bench.
As a consequence, it is able to exercise enormous influence
on important cases at every level. The book’s contributions to
social scientific and Sociolegal thought are far-reaching. On a
broad level, the book analyses some of the most controversial
political and legal issues of our
time. It is also the essential guide to the Federalist Society at a
time when the organization’s power has broader implications
than ever. More directly related to Sociolegal studies, Ideas
with Consequences is a book examining the dynamics of
constitutional change and the roles that “support structures”
(Epp 1998) play in that process.
In the course of her analysis, Hollis-Brusky creates and deploys
a novel and innovative Sociolegal framework for understanding
the influence of the Federalist Society and for similar legal
interest groups. Drawing on insights from the sociology of
knowledge and interpretive social science, she argues that the
Federalist Society should be understood as a political epistemic
network – a variation on the epistemic community model that is
more suited to groups with authoritative knowledge claims that
involve law and politics. Ideas with Consequences shows how
this novel framework can and ought to be applied to understand
the influence of groups like the Federalist Society – past,
present, and future. In doing so, it makes valuable contributions
to how Sociolegal scholars understand and think about the
dynamics and dimensions of influence.
Given the above, the significance of the book for the Sociolegal
community, as well as for the general understanding of
contemporary law and politics, is clear. Beyond this, the book’s
importance is reflected in those who have eagerly agreed to

AMR Salon Session: Dimitri Vanoverbeke -- “Juries in
the Japanese Legal System: The Continuing Struggle for
Citizen Participation and Democracy”
CRN: 33, 4, 44
Author: Dimitri Vanoverbeke. University of Leuven (KU Leuven)
Readers:
Daniel H. Foote, The University of Tokyo
Hiroshi Fukurai, University of California Santa Cruz
Sanja Kutnjak Ivkovich, Michigan State University
Matthew Wilson, University of Akron School of Law
This panel then takes the first monograph in English on Japan’s
2009 “lay judge” or “mixed jury” system (Saiban-in Seido)
that places citizen participation at the center of Japanese
criminal trials as a stepping stone for discussing the socio-legal
implications of Japan’s earlier experiences with the trial by
jury, the political process of legal reform and the unexpected
consequences of the practice of the trial by jury. One of aims
of this book is to investigate the prevailing myth that the trial
by jury is unheard of in Japan. Not only did Japan experience
twice a trial by jury since it started to transplant judicial
institutions in the 19th Century and even once after the Second
World War in Okinawa, the current political process and
socio-legal function of the Saiban-in citizen participation in the
criminal trials shows striking similarities to Japan’s previous
experiences with the trial by jury. Vanoverbeke applies sociolegal methodology to historical, primary sources to retrace
the institutional path that Japan has embarked upon since it
adopted law and judicial institutions from Europe and from
the US. While transplanting those institutions, the legislative
process and the implementation of the institutions – the trial by
jury being a case in point – resulted in functional divergences
and unexpected consequences. It is important to debate the
genesis, content and evolution of the implementation of the
trial by jury at different stages of Japan’s history to understand
the legal transformations that the Japanese criminal justice
system experiences today. Vanoverbeke’s earlier research on
mediation of civil disputes, the death penalty and the judicial
reform process in Japan of the 1990s among others topics, goes
beyond the importance of law in Japan. It also provides a view
on how law and judicial reform happens or fails to happen in
a political context at a certain time and how this carries on its
legacy towards later attempts to reform.

A decade after Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans,
conflicts between rich and poor nations (the North-South
divide) continue to compromise efforts to protect the global
environment, leading to deadlocks in environmental treaty
negotiations and non-compliance with existing agreements.
International Environmental Law and the Global South examines
both the historical origins of the North-South divide in European
colonialism as well as its contemporary manifestations in a
range of issues, including food justice, energy justice, indigenous
rights, trade, investment, extractive industries, human rights,
land grabs, natural disasters, hazardous waste, and climate
change. Born out of the recognition that global inequality
and profligate consumerism present threats to a sustainable
planet, this book makes a unique contribution to international
environmental law by emphasizing the priorities and concerns
of the states and peoples of the global South. The readers
for this book will address its contributions to several distinct
areas of law, including environmental law, human rights law,
environmental justice, international economic law, and Third
World and post-colonial approaches to international law.

“It is one of the happy incidents of the federal system,” Justice
Louis Brandeis wrote in 1932, “that a single courageous state
may, if its citizens choose, serve as a laboratory, and try novel
social and economic experiments without risk to the rest of
the country.” It is one of the features of federalism in our day,
Paul Nolette counters, that these “laboratories of democracy,”
under the guidance of state attorneys general, are more apt
to be dictating national policy than conducting contained
experiments. In Federalism on Trial (University of Kansas
Press, 2015), Nolette presents the first broad examination
of the increasingly nationalized political activism of state
attorneys general. Focusing on coordinated state litigation as
a form of national policymaking, his book challenges common
assumptions about the contemporary nature of American
federalism.
Federalism on Trial shows how new social policy regimes
of the 1960s and 70s-adopting national objectives such as
cleaner air, wider access to health care, and greater consumer
protections-promoted both “adversarial legalism” and new
forms of “cooperative federalism” that enhanced the powers
of state attorneys general. Nolette traces case studies involving
state attorney general lawsuits on tobacco injuries, drug pricing,
environmental policy, and health care reform. The form of
federalism exercised by state attorneys general, Nolette argues,
frequently complicates national regulatory regimes and creates
both greater policy centralization and a more extensive reach of
the American regulatory state.
AMR Salon Session: Pooja Parmar - ‘Indigeneity and

Justin Richland, University of Chicago
This panel explores the diverse and nuanced ways in which
Indigeneity and Legal Pluralism in India: Claims, Histories,
Meanings (New York: Cambridge University Press, 2015)
engages with concerns taken up in multiple fields of socio-legal
study. The book focuses on a dispute that began with protests
over excessive extraction of groundwater by a Coca-Cola
bottling facility in India, and highlights critical issues of access
to justice and Indigeneity in places with complex, contested
and layered histories of dispossession and exclusion. Based on
3 interviews with Adivasis, lawyers, activists, judges, bureaucrats
and politicians, as well as original legal and archival research,
this book juxtaposes the various accounts of the dispute in
order to trace the gains and loss in meaning as Adivasi claims
are translated into the languages of social movements, media
and the formal legal system. This panel brings together scholars
working on a number of issues this book engages with, including
legal pluralism, indigeneity, social movements, water rights, the
legal profession and formal legal system in India, ethnography,
legal discourse and epistemology. The purpose of this panel
is to reflect on the ways in which the book draws upon and
contributes to law and society scholarship generally, as well
explore possibilities for critical interdisciplinary conversations
between the more specific fields of socio-legal scholarship.

Readers:
Asli Bali, UCLA School of Law

Aziz Rana, Cornell Law School
The U.S. government’s power to categorize individuals
as terrorist suspects and therefore ineligible for certain
long-standing constitutional protections has expanded
exponentially since 9/11, all the while remaining resistant to
oversight. Professor Wadie Said’s Crimes of Terror: The Legal
and Political Implications of Federal Terrorism Prosecutions
provides a comprehensive and uniquely up-to-date dissection
of the government’s advantages over suspects in criminal
prosecutions of terrorism, which are driven by a preventive
mindset that purports to stop plots before they can come to
fruition. It establishes the background for these controversial
policies and practices and then demonstrates how they have
impeded the normal goals of criminal prosecution, even in
light of a competing military tribunal model. Proceeding in a
linear manner from the investigatory stage of a prosecution on
through to sentencing, the book documents the emergence
of a “terrorist exceptionalism” to normal rules of criminal
law and procedure and questions whether the government
has overstated the threat posed by the individuals it charges
with these crimes. Included is a discussion of the large-scale
spying and use of informants rooted in the questionable
“radicalization” theory; the material support statute--the
government’s chief legal tool in bringing criminal prosecutions;
the new rules regarding generation of evidence and the broad

AMR: Srimati Basu - “The Trouble With Marriage:
Feminists Confront Law and Violence in India”, University

As an ethnographic portrait of alternative dispute resolution,
an evaluation of feminist legal reform projects on marriage
and gendered violence, and an account of negotiations of
kinship with law in the postcolonial Indian state, The Trouble
with Marriage addresses several critical fields of sociolegal
studies, and is thus jointly proposed as a session for the CRNs
Ethnography, Law and Society, Feminist Legal Theory and South
Asia. The book poses fundamental concerns about feminist
legal reform and the difficult processes involved in seeking
accountability for gender-based violence: how do feministinspired laws work after they are institutionalized? Do they
subvert gender justice in the ways they begin to be used?
The Trouble with Marriage considers the legacies of legal
reforms around marriage and gendered violence in India in
the 1980’s which were strongly influenced by demands of the
women’s movement, tracing what happens to demands for legal
change as they pass through legislatures, become institutions
and are folded into everyday life. The primary focus is on legal
sites of marital trouble, based on ethnographic observation
of Family Courts, police cells for women, and mediation
organizations. Based on fieldwork in Kolkata (India), it provides
a portrait of marriage and domestic violence as observed
through new feminist interventions: lawyer-free Family Courts,
the criminal prosecution of domestic violence, rape law reform,
and the promotion of alternate dispute resolution as a mode
of better gendered access. It follows the ways in which people
bargain in the shadow of these laws, creating new subjectivities
and strategies, while dwelling on the methodological difficulties
of determining culture through law.
Through life stories of litigants and mediators, media
representations of marriage and violence, legislative histories
and puzzles of case law, the book leads readers to consider
theoretical questions related to the nature of marriage, the
efficacy of law, and the limits of feminist jurisprudence. It
demonstrates that some laws become popular in ways not
imagined as part of their feminist scope: Family Courts proffer
reconciliation, rape law secures marriage; domestic violence
claims help with economic settlements. That is, such laws begin
to be used in ways that subvert the feminist goals of violence
prevention, sexual agency and economic well-being. ADR,
imagined as informal justice which would ensure easier access
to legal process, is often unable to work outside the forms of
power inculcated within law, and may minimize violence against
women in concentrating on financial agreements
Reviewers have praised the book for its readability, rich
ethnographic material, and analyses of feminist theoretical
questions related to marriage, law, and the limits of feminist
jurisprudence, Historian Mrinalini Sinha describes it as an
“empirically rich, theoretically sophisticated, and beautifully
written book [which] deserves to be read very widely”; legal
scholar Prabha Kotiswaran as “a riveting feminist ethnography
of the new legal frontiers of marriage in India.”

construction of that evidence as relevant at trial; and a look
at the special sentencing and confinement regimes for those
convicted of terrorist crimes. In this critical examination of
terrorism prosecutions in federal court, Professor Said reveals
a phenomenon at odds with basic constitutional protections
for criminal defendants. This group of readers will bring their
various areas of expertise on matters of national security,
constitutional law, criminal law, rule of law, and critical race
theory, to discuss Professor Said’s engaging and groundbreaking work and consider implications for the future of
terrorism and criminal prosecutions alike.

This Roundtable will explore the legal, historical and social ills
that gave rise to the eruption in Ferguson, Missouri after the
shooting death of Michael Brown on August 9, 2014 by police
officer Darren Wilson. The session will discuss the history
of police violence against black bodies, the history of racial
segregation based on housing and education, and it will explore
the ways in which various courts and police in the region
worked in tandem to systemically violate the constitutional
rights of poor and Black people while generating revenue (and
profits) for municipalities. We will also explore the psychological
7 effects of continued and systemic stresses on communities,
explore how systematic and predictable decision-making errors
produce racial disparities in police use of force cases and will
look at the efficacy of body cameras. Because these problems
transcend Ferguson--existing nationwide--solutions that look
more broadly than Ferguson will be discussed.

(Bandes 2001: Abrahms 2010). This roundtable explores
the challenges of provoking and navigating emotions in the
law school classroom. Many legal topics prompt emotional
responses, both positive and negative, from teachers and
students. Informed by the work of Paulo Freire and Augusto
Boal, we will discuss how to integrate the use of affectively
imbued materials in the classroom, and the kinds of pedagogical
methods that can be used to challenge text-based learning
(Del Mar and Bankowski 2013), without reproducing gendered,
racialized or other hierarchies (Leo Moore 2008). Looking across
various subjects in the law school curriculum – for example,
criminal law, business associations, medical law and human
rights – we show how the use of visual, audio and theatre
techniques can highlight the importance and difficulty of
‘managing’ our emotions in teaching and learning law.

scholarship in the service of conceptual innovation in the
analysis of law and the history of law. As its title suggests, this
project is of particular interest to socio-legal scholars. “Law
As…” positions itself as a challenge to the particular mode of
legal interdisciplinarity (‘Law and…Development / Economics /
Literature…” etc.) which seeks to understand more about “law”
by juxtaposing it against a context perceived as external, more
in touch with “reality”, and therefore potentially enlightening.
“Law and Society” is, of course, one of the most important and
productive example of this approach.

Published in 2006 by University of Chicago Press, and edited
by Jean Comaroff and John Comaroff, Law and Disorder in
the Postcolony began with a problem, a presumption and a
paradox. Its problem concerned the ubiquitous use of law in
the postcolonies of Africa, Asia, Europe, and Latin America all
said then to be increasingly “disordered.” Its presumption was
that “something [new] may be at issue” in the effervescence
of their different deployments of, and challenges to, the law –

something residing at the core of these “hypen-nated” nations
that signalled a [new] conjuncture of “violence, sovereignty, il/
legality [and] modernity”. That these postcolonies seemed to
be making “a fetish of the rule of law, of its languages and its
practices, its ways and means” even as they continually mocked,
mimicked, suspended, and sequestered the law was the
paradox at the core of the book.

Today, the idea of human rights enjoys near-universal support;
yet, there is deep disagreement about what human rights
actually are – their true source of origin, how to study them,
and how best to address their deficits. Are human rights truly
universal or do they represent Western interests? Can human
rights overcome state sovereignty or do they simply reinforce
it? Are human rights prizes to be fought for or utopian myths?
What categories of rights have priority over others?
CRN: 39
Paper Session
In his sweeping exploration of how the modern international
human rights system came into being, Christopher N. J. Roberts
traces these contemporary questions and conflicts back to
their moments of inception. He shows how more than a half
century ago, a series of contradictions worked their way into
the foundation of the modern system of human rights. By
viewing human rights as representations of human relations
that emerge from struggle, this book charts a new path into
the subject of human rights and offers a novel approach for
sociolegal scholars who wish to address some of the most
challenging contemporary human rights issues.

Advocates and academics increasingly recognize the limitations
of reproductive rights discourses in addressing the practical
realities of reproductive health care delivery. The reproductive
justice movement has helped foment this recognition by
emphasizing how racism and poverty shape reproduction and
engaging with the spectrum of reproductive healthcare and
choices throughout an individual’s life.
This roundtable has three goals. First, participants will focus
on the emergence of the reproductive justice movement and
current topics that absorb its supporters’ attention. Each
roundtable participant will focus on a different aspect of
reproductive justice advocacy. Second, the purpose of this
roundtable is not just to celebrate reproductive justice, but also
to develop a critical framework for assessing the movement’s
successes and failures. Finally, the roundtable will include a
conversation about tools and methods for teaching classes and
producing scholarly work in the area.

The American press embraces impartiality as a core professional
value, yet it benefits when special legal protections and
privileges are maintained or expanded. How has the press
grappled with this awkward legal and political role? When
have efforts to influence debate over the regulation of speech
succeeded and failed? How is the press’ role changing as it
evolves and fractures as an institution? Recent scholarship
has examined these questions from the late 19th century
onward: in the press’ attempts to secure shield laws and libel
retraction statutes (Smith, File), efforts to expand access to
public records (Erickson), and strategic litigation in U.S. Supreme
Court cases (Easton). These studies rely on an interdisciplinary
cross section of theory and illuminate an aspect of the press’
role in democracy that is understudied and bucks conventional
wisdom. Scholars who study the press’ relationship to legal
rights and social change will benefit from this discussion of new
scholarship.

Roundtable Session
same-sex couples across the country. With that victory in hand,
those who care about LGBT rights must now struggle with how
best to promote the interests of sexual and gender-identity
minorities in a post-marriage equality society. This roundtable
will bring together an interdisciplinary group of experts to
address one of the most important questions facing the LGBT
movement today: What does marriage equality mean for the
future of LGBT rights? The participants are all contributors to a
forthcoming book titled “After Marriage Equality: The Future of
LGBT Rights” (NYU Press, 2016).
Participants will discuss the difficulties faced by the LGBT
movement in moving in new directions and addressing new
challenges; what marriage equality means for LGBT people living
in conservative or “red” states; what marital rights for same-sex
couple mean for children and parental rights; whether marriage
equality will end most prejudice against sexual minorities or
whether that prejudice will manifest itself in different ways; and
whether the recognition of marital rights will encourage greater
acknowledgment of the differences between lesbians and gay
men in matters of relationships and monogamy. The discussion
will also touch upon LGBT rights issues in other countries,
including the likelihood that U.S. LGBT organizations will
become more involved with LGBT issues in other nations and
the state of LGBT rights in France following marriage equality in
that country.

The Supreme Court’s decision in Obergefell v. Hodges does
not represent the end of the struggle for LGBT equality in
this country. It does not minimize or trivialize the importance
of nationwide marriage equality to note, for example, that
LGBT individuals continue to be the subjects of violence and
harassment in places ranging from schools to streets; that
denying jobs, housing, and goods and services to sexual and
gender-identity minorities remains legal in most states; and that
both houses of Congress (as well as most state legislatures) are
controlled by the GOP, a political party that has traditionally
been unsupportive of LGBT equality measures.
For the last few decades, the LGBT rights movement’s most
important objective has been to win marriage equality for

Malcolm M. Feeley of UC Berkeley (a former President of LSA)
wrote a seminal book on court reform, Court Reform on Trial,
in 1983. He analyzed four cases of criminal justice reforms in
the United States. On the basis of four cases of criminal justice
reform in the US, he argued that perspectives and expectations
on criminal justice are so fragmented in the US that an idealistic
reform conceived and initiated according to one perspective
may be transformed by other perspectives in implementation,
particularly by those of players embedded in the status quo,
and routinization of reform may produce a result that can be
evaluated as a failure from the initial perspective. He concluded
that it would better to introduce reforms with more realistic
expectations. This roundtable session discusses selected cases
of court reform in Japan and Taiwan and will analyze whether,
to what extent, and how the process of policy making and
policy implementation in East Asian countries differ from that
described by Feeley. It may be the case in East Asian countries,
for instance, that the process of policy making and policy
implementation is strongly controlled by the players in the
status quo from the very beginning, so that only those reforms
which are acceptable to such players is likely to be introduced,
implementation is tightly and carefully managed by them, and
the introduced reform becomes highly routinized with a result
that can be evaluated by the status quo as a success. A lively
discussion is expected.

As Erwin Chemerinsky recently observed, “the struggle over
marijuana regulation is one of the most important federalism
conflicts in a generation.” The shifting legal status of marijuanafrom a banned “hippy” psychoactive drug, to a semi-licit
medical treatment, to a recreational drug-has occurred despite
the existence of federal laws prohibiting the possession, sale,
and transportation of marijuana. The horizontal-federalism
(e.g., comity) implications of piecemeal marijuana legalization
have received little scholarly attention. Unlike other state vicelegalization experiments such as gambling and prostitutionwhich involve actions undertaken at a fixed location-marijuana
legalization involves the trafficking of goods that can easily cross
state lines inside luggage, through the mail, or in the trunks of
cars. It causes problems in other ways as well. For example, the
27 effects of marijuana use in pot-friendly states can spillover into
their prohibitionist neighbors when impaired users drive their
cars across state lines.
The inevitable conflicts engendered by state-by-state pot
legalization came into sharp focus last December when
Nebraska and Oklahoma sought to invoke the Supreme
Court’s original jurisdiction to enjoin marijuana legalization in
Colorado. Their Complaint contends that “Colorado has created
a dangerous gap in the federal drug control system” enabling
marijuana to “flow . . . into neighboring states, undermining
[their] own marijuana bans, draining their treasuries, and
placing stress on their criminal justice systems.” The Court
has deferred deciding whether it will hear the case until the
upcoming term. But whatever the outcome, the suit is likely a
harbinger of future interstate conflict.
The patchwork of laws and their competing policies creates
confusion and is so divisive that it may open the door to
“rivalries and reprisals” of the sort that the Constitution was
designed to avert. Drivers from marijuana-friendly states may be
subjected to pre-textual stops. The Supreme Court unanimously
held that such stops are virtually immune from Fourth
Amendment scrutiny so long as they are precipitated by even
the slightest infraction-or even no infraction at all if an officer in
good faith believes that an infraction has occurred.
Many difficult issues may soon surface. First, prohibitionist
states, like Nebraska and Oklahoma, which share borders with
states that have decriminalized marijuana, like Colorado, may
increase penalties for marijuana possession and use. Such a
move will exacerbate the U.S.’s already epidemic-incarceration
rate by stepping up the penalties for marijuana possession. “The
normal method of deterring unlawful conduct,” the Supreme
Court has noted, “is to impose an appropriate punishment on
the person who engages in it. If the sanctions that presently
attach to a violation . . . do not provide sufficient deterrence,”
ordinarily lawmakers will conclude that “those sanctions should
be made more severe.”
Second, prohibitionist States may enact laws that, in essence,
reach into the territory of their pot-friendly neighbors to impose
liability on those who provide marijuana that later causes
transboundary harm.
The temperature on this second situation rose substantially
in July 2015 when the 10th Circuit held that the Constitution
permits a State to directly regulate activities beyond its borders
that produce substantial effects within the state. The court
concluded that Supreme Court precedents positing that the
dormant Commerce Clause “precludes the application of a
state statute to commerce that takes place wholly outside the
State’s borders, whether or not the commerce has effects within
the state” are no longer good law. Because the 10th Circuit’s
holding conflicts with those in other circuits, the Supreme
Court will likely need to step in to resolve the circuit split.
Moreover, the decision came on the heels of Justice Scalia’s
recent characterization of the entire dormant Commerce Clause
Thursday 12:45 p.m. - 2:30 p.m. jurisprudence as “a judicial fraud.”

In recent decades, the legal academy has begun to incorporate
forms of empirical scholarship and even training. In this open
roundtable, we invite members of CRN 28 and others interested
in the topic to join with us in contemplating how and whether
translation of social science for legal scholars and for law
students works. What should the goal of such translations
be? What contributes to success and failure (once we have
defined what success and failure mean in this context)? Can
the legal academy act as an incubator for innovative forms
of collaboration or hybrid methods -- and what about the
law’s own epistemological and normative specializations?
Roundtable speakers will kick off the discussion by considering
28 Thursday
If the 10th Circuit’s construction-which enjoys wide-spread
support in the academic community-is affirmed, it will
have enormous implications for state marijuana regimes.
Prohibitionist States may attempt to apply their own laws to
marijuana sales in neighboring jurisdictions. Such extraterritorial
application is not without precedent. In Bernhard v. Harrah’s
Club, the California Supreme Court applied the State’s dramshop law to a Nevada defendant in contravention of Nevada’s
own law, which exempted sellers from such liability. More
recently, in Shaw v. LDC Enterprises, Inc., the Indiana Court
of Appeals affirmed the application of Indiana’s common law
of nuisance to an Illinois bar suspected of serving underage
Hoosiers in contravention of contrary Illinois policy.
Our panelists will tackle thorny constitutional issues raised by
the confluence of marijuana decriminalization and the apparent
demise of the extraterritoriality principle.

Consortium of Social Science Associations (COSSA), of which
LSA is a governing member. COSSA lobbies for more adequate
social science funding on behalf of its member organizations
and seeks to better communicate the value of social science
research to relevant publics. Felice Levine, a past president
of LSA, is the Executive Director of the American Educational
Research Association and the current Chair of COSSA’s Board of
Directors. In both capacities she has been a leader in increasing
understanding of and generating support for the social and
behavioral science. Neil Canfield works in NSF’s Office of
Legislative and Public Affairs, where he communicates on behalf
of NSF the value of the SBE sciences, including coordinating
the agency’s response when projects funded by NSF’s SBE
directorate are criticized as wasteful. Robert Dingwall, longtime
LSA member, is a Fellow and Council member of the Academy
of Social Sciences in the UK, which oversees the Campaign for
Social Science. All four have fascinating stories to tell. Richard
Lempert, another past president of LSA and moderator of this
session, is LSA’s COSSA representative and has also played a
role in these activities. Come learn more about ongoing threats
to the social and behavioral sciences and ways that audience
members can assist in countering unwarranted criticisms.

Even in the best of times the social and behavioral sciences
compete with natural sciences and applied disciplines for public
resources. What has changed in recent years is that some in
the U.S. Congress have attempted to drastically reduce the
capacity of the National Science Foundation to fund social and
behavioral science research and have also threatened social
science funding by other agencies. Coupled with this has been
a proliferation of government “wastebooks” which invariably
single out some social research projects as exemplars of work
the government should not be supporting. Both the social

Social scientists have thoroughly interrogated the politics of
respectability as a strategy for responding to marginalization.
The majority of this scholarship has focused on African
Americans, but it is equally applicable to any social group
facing marginalization. The legalist strand of the politics of
respectability argues for equal rights based on the marginalized
group having the same values, norms, and practices as
mainstream society. Legal scholars have been slow to examine
the existence of a politics of respectability within immigrant
communities. This roundtable will feature legal scholars whose
research examines how immigrants are framed within American
society, the impact framing has on immigrants’ legal rights,
and framing strategies. The participants will explore whether
these framing strategies qualify as the politics of respectability,
challenges with successfully deploying these strategies, and
the broader, perhaps unintentional, consequences of these
strategies.

News organizations and other media have long defended their
right to determine what news or information should be made
available to the public, and freedom of expression has often
been used to bolster the claims by these organizations to
publish information that they deem to be newsworthy, despite
potentially harmful effects on individuals. The question is
whether the publication of emotionally harmful but truthful
information that is merely in the public interest and not
necessarily of public concern should be protected; the answerto protect the media’s judgment or to protect the individual-has
a profound impact on media and journalism around the world,
especially in light of the increasing concern about media ethics
in the digital age. This roundtable of experts on media law
from different countries will explore the issue globally, looking
at incidents of perceived privacy and other harmful personal
invasions and how courts internationally have responded.

2016 marks the 35th year anniversary of Lynn Mather and
Barbara Yngvesson’s now classic article, “Language, Audience,
and the Transformation of Disputes,” published in the Law &
Society Reveiw. This roundtable examines dispute processing
theory and empirical research in the Law & Society field since
1980, when their article appeared. Specifically, what larger
social forces (i.e., cultural, economic, political, and legal) play a
significant role in the framing of particular grievances as “legal
disputes”? What affect do legal institutions and actors have on
expanding or reducing “access to justice,” and for whom? How
do participants in these processes perceptive law in terms of
redressing or exacerbating social inequalities? Participants will
formally respond to these questions, as well as those presented
by the discussant and the audience.

The importance of Islamic criminal law to the sociolegal
community has increased in recent years, as applications of
that system of law has spread in the past decade together with
attempts to understand its origins and impact. This authormeets-reader panel will explore the book Doubt in Islamic
Law (2015) by Intisar Rabb. The panel brings together leading
scholars of both Islamic and other types of criminal law from
both medieval and modern periods. Each will help contextualize
the new versions of Islamic criminal law and the related rules
of reasonable doubt that have emerged in the past decade in
the Muslim world. It turns out that doubt is centrally important
to Islamic law of any era, according to the author, and it is thus
worth teasing out whether and how doubt helps construct
systems of law in response to societal pressures as the author
argues in her book.
In the book, the author uncovers the lost history of doubt.
This history calls into question a popular notion about Islamic
law – which some have upheld and promoted and others have
criticized and opposed. The notion is that Islamic law is a divine
legal tradition that has little room for discretion or doubt,
particularly in Islamic criminal law.

This roundtable will explore new and emerging theory and
research regarding the role of gender in conflict and peace
building. Over the past twenty years, feminist theorists and
activists have made visible the role of gender in conflict and
peace building, leading to legal and policy reforms that seek
to address the ways in which women experience the burdens
and costs of conflict. Global advocacy by feminist scholars,
for example, has resulted in reforms in international criminal
law aimed at eliminating impunity for sexual violence against
women in war. More recently, social and legal theorists have
moved beyond stereotypical conceptions of women as victims,
recognizing the more complex and varied roles that women
occupy during and after armed conflict. In recent conflicts,
for example, women have been participants in war, in regular
armed forces, as guerillas and freedom fighters, and often as
child soldiers.
This roundtable will identify the ways in which the role of
women in war is being reconceptualized, both by scholars
and international legal systems. What do recent conflicts tell
us about the contemporary roles of women in and at war?
How have recent conflicts informed our understandings of
the gendered aspects of conflict and peace building? What
legal changes need to be implemented to address the needs
of female combatants, including girl soldiers? How can various
stakeholders engaged in peace building better address the
needs and roles of women to promote gender equality while
facilitating peace and stability?
The roundtable participants include legal scholars on gender,
conflict, and international law, as well an international expert
in gender and conflict who has worked with numerous NGOs
in Afghanistan and Iraq. Participants and attendees will work
together, building on their research and experience on the
ground, to identify and explore emerging new theories of
gender and conflict in scholarship, law, and peace building
efforts.

Shauhin Talesh, University of California, Irvine
Judicialization, juridification, legalization-whatever term
they employ, scholars around the world are fascinated by
the increasingly powerful role of courts, litigation and legal
rights in social life and seek to understand its implications for
politics. How Policy Shapes Politics (Oxford University Press,
2015) argues that claims about the effects of judicialization
are inherently comparative, so that scholars who seek to
probe its effects need to adopt research designs that compare
judicialized and non-judicialized politics and policy. Accordingly,
the book analyzes the field of injury compensation in the United
States, in which judicialized policies operate side-by-side with
bureaucratized social insurance programs. The authors find no
evidence to support some of the most familiar claims about the
turn to courts, litigation and legal rights--that the allure of law
traps activists in its spell, that court victories produce paralyzing
backlashes, or that law-focused public policy is more prone
to path dependency than bureaucratic alternatives. In many
respects the politics of rights and litigation does not look much
different from other forms of politics.
Nonetheless, in the field of injury compensation judicialization
has had powerful political consequences. By dividing social
interests into victims and villains, winners and losers,
judicialization has generated a fractious, chaotic politics in
which even seeming allies-business and professional groups
on one side, injured victims on the other-sometimes became
divided amongst themselves. By contrast, social insurance
programs that compensate for injury have brought social
interests together, narrowing the scope of conflict and over time
producing a more technocratic politics.

In the last generation, parenting norms have shifted strongly
in favor of Intensive Parenting, with particular emphasis
on protecting children from risks of harm, both real and
imagined. Despite a recent backlash against the trend -- based
on the concern that coddling children with overprotection,
or “helicoptering,” inhibits children’s development and even
their welfare -- the law has encouraged it by enforcing the
overprotective norms in a variety of legal contexts. Such
enforcement generates fear among parents who, desperate
keep custody of their own children, capitulate to these
pressures, voluntarily surrendering their [14th amendment]
rights to raise their children as they see fit. The coerced
conformity in child-rearing practice does violence to pluralism,
and to the diverse conceptions of family, in various cultural
and socio-economic communities within society. Panelists have
advocated reform, mostly through scholarly work, but also by
pursuing cases in this area.

members the chance to consider some of the new challenges in
disaster law and climate change adaptation, in light of both past
disasters and changing environmental and social conditions.
From planning for the resilience of transportation, water,
and energy infrastructure to dealing with issues surrounding
species translocation to finding ways to protect and compensate
vulnerable communities, evacuees, and refugees to developing
techniques for informing and engaging communities on critical
disaster issues, we will explore emerging and future challenges
that will shape disaster risk in the years to come.

The relationship between historical and contemporary forms
of institutionalizing racial disparities in the American criminal
justice system is a subject of growing scholarly interest. Ely
Aaronson’s recent book From Slave Abuse to Hate Crime
(Cambridge University Press, 2014) makes an important
contribution to this literature by revealing both continuity and
change in the mechanisms underpinning the failure to address
the problem of group-differentiated vulnerability to criminal
victimization throughout American history. The book also
makes an important contribution to theories of law and social
change, by analyzing the possibilities, limitations, unintended
consequences, and boomerang effects of the deployment
of criminalization reform as a tool of legal mobilization. This
roundtable will explore broad issues raised by the book’s
argument and evidence in the fields of the sociology of crime
and punishment, legal history, law and society theory, and
critical race theory.

Disciplines across the social, behavioral, and economic sciences
are taking steps to encourage reproducible, replicable, and

Thursday 4:45 p.m. - 6:30 p.m. Room: Studio 7
The objective of this roundtable is to generate inter- and
cross-disciplinary dialogue concerning the value, variability,
and limits of reproducibility, replicability, and reliability in
the context of sociolegal research, and the implications of
data sharing requirements, transparency efforts, and other
practices designed to improve reproducible and replicable
research. Among the specific questions roundtable participants
will address are the following: To what extent is lack of
reproducibility and replicability a problem for sociolegal
scholarship? What inhibits reproducible and replicable
research? How can reproducibility and replicability be improved
and encouraged? What are the costs, implications, and side
effects of efforts to reproduce and replicate sociolegal research?
Should law and society scholars be expected to generate
reproducible and/or replicable research? How do issues of
reproducibility and replicability vary across different sociolegal
approaches, different institutions, and researchers at different
career stages?

Rights Enabled: The Disability Revolution (University of Michigan
Press, 2015) follows the journey of the disability rights model
across national and ideological boundaries. It asks: how do
rights travel? What medium do they travel by, and how are
they transformed once they reach foreign shores? Drawing on
extensive fieldwork and original sources, this book examines
three case studies – Germany, Japan, and the United Nations
– to trace the evolution of a disability rights model from
its American origins trough its adaptation in countries with
radically different approaches to disability, welfare policy, and
the role of law as a tool for social change.
The 1990 Americans with Disabilities Act provided the first
articulation of disability as a civil rights issue and became
a powerful source of inspiration for German and Japanese
activists. They became “rights tourists” to learn about
rights consciousness and legal mobilization to protest the
segregation and stigma they experienced in their home
countries’ sophisticated but still segregated disability welfare
states. Returning home, these activists were determined to
graft the American rights model onto existing disability policy,
and combine equal rights guarantees with the protection
of disability difference. Finally, the passage of the 2006 UN
Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities provided
yet another, human rights model to challenge disability
discrimination, stigma, and exclusion.
Rights Enabled develops a framework for analyzing the ways
rights transplants might either support or contradict local
legal culture, generate new approaches to legislating disability
rights, and inspire political movements. The transplantation of
American-style rights regimes into global settings contexts raises
important issues for sociolegal scholarship on comparative

AMR Salon Session: Kunal Parker - “Making Foreigners:
Immigration and Citizenship Law in America, 1600 2000”
Author: Kunal Parker, University of Miami School of Law
Chair: Renisa Mawani, University of British Columbia
At a time when immigration and citizenship issues crowd upon
the public consciousness in both North America and Europe
with particular urgency, and keeping in mind the significance
of migration and citizenship as a theme for the New Orleans
Law and Society meeting, this interdisciplinary author-meetsreader panel seeks to bring leading scholars of immigration
to discuss Kunal Parker’s Making Foreigners: Immigration and
Citizenship Law in America, 1600 - 2000 (Cambridge University
Press, 2015). The book seeks to reconceptualize the history of
U.S. immigration and citizenship law from the colonial period to
the beginning of the twenty-first century by joining the histories
of immigrants to those of Native Americans, African Americans,
women, Asian Americans, Latino/a Americans, and the poor.
Kunal Parker argues that, during the earliest stages of American
history, being legally constructed as a foreigner, along with
being subjected to restrictions on presence and movement, was
not confined to those who sought to enter the country from
the territorial outside, but was also used against those on the
territorial inside. Insiders thus shared important legal disabilities
with outsiders. It is only over the course of four centuries,
with the spread of formal and substantive citizenship among
the domestic population, a hardening distinction between
‘citizen’ and ‘alien,’ and the rise of a powerful centralized state,
that the uniquely disabled legal subject we recognize today
as the immigrant has emerged. The book advances new ways
of understanding the relationship between foreignness and
subordination over the long span of American history. At the
same time, it insists that designation as foreign has had no
necessary relationship to where one has stood in relationship to
territory.

This session focuses on three questions to interrogate Jennifer
Carlson’s Citizen-Protectors: The Everyday Politics of Guns
in an Age of Decline, the first book to examine gun carry as
an everyday practice. Today in the United States, there are
over 11 million concealed carry licensees, and the top reason
cited for gun ownership is protection. Why are Americans
– disproportionately men – choosing to carry guns as part
of their everyday lives? And how does gun carrying impact
contemporary notions of crime, citizenship, and governance?
How is legality implicated in the new politics of lethal force?
Unpacking how gun carrying transforms the gendered and
racialized meanings of citizenship; the social distribution of
policing (at least symbolically); and the moral politics of killing,
this book develops the term “citizen-protector” to capture how
men use guns to assert their authority and relevance to their
families and even their broader communities by embracing a
duty to protect – up to and including the willingness to kill.

this kind of status to same-sex couples, the state, as the Court
reasons, “demeans gays and lesbians” by “lock[ing] them out
of a central institution of the Nation’s society.” (Obergefell at
17). One of the central themes of the 2016 Law and Society
Conference is the question of who belongs and who doesn’t.
The Court has made clear that gays and lesbians belong to the
institution of marriage. But every state in the United States
prohibits marriages between three or more individuals. Den
Otter’s book asks whether those who seek a polyamorous
relationship also belong. The book answers in the affirmative

marriages between three or more individuals.
primarily through fact-intensive class action lawsuits, while its
French counterpart has been notable for its austere and highly
formalized register. In the U.S., institutionalizing their efforts
allowed aspiring legal activists to cement alliances with the
support structures that had developed around public interest
law. In France, by contrast, the process of repeatedly petitioning
the Conseil d’Etat gradually incorporated immigrant rights legal
networks into the orbit of this institution. Bringing law’s distinct
modalities into focus shows that neither adversarialism nor
liberal pluralism is an inevitable feature of legality, and offers a
reminder that studying the constitutive power of rights rhetoric
is only scratching the surface of this phenomenon.

Studies of immigration policy making have tended to
concentrate on the rules and remedies produced by judicial
decisions in immigration matters, leading to skepticism over
whether litigation is a viable strategy for constraining the
globally restrictive tendency of migration controls. In her
comparative study, Contesting Immigration Policy in Court:
Legal Activism and Its Radiating Effects in the United States
and France published by Cambridge University Press in 2015,
Leila Kawar challenges the conventional wisdom that “cause
litigation” has little long-term impact on policy making unless
it produces broad rights-protective principles. Drawing on
extended fieldwork and extensive archival research in France
and the U.S., Kawar argues that the work of specialized litigators
is best understood as a culturally productive activity in which
doctrine is only one element. When engagement with courts
is understood in this way, the radiating effects of high-profile
activity in court may be illuminated as legal frames, narratives,
and performances that inform and reshape how legislative and
administrative actors approach immigration policy.
Taking up and extending the constitutive turn in sociolegal
scholarship, Kawar distinguishes the specific legal instruments
and mechanisms produced by legal activism around
immigration. In the U.S., immigrant rights litigation has operated

Japan has still the death penalty. It is actually decided by the
decision of professional judges (3 judges) and lay judges (6
citizens). Two issues have come out so far: (1) It is not decided
by the unanimous voting of the panel; (2) There is a conflict
between the court precedent that has been a guideline,
standard or conditions of rendering death penalty shared
among professional judges but often Saiban-in ignored the
precedent and renders death penalty according to their own
standard. Those decisions are occasionally overturned at the
higher court level. Thus this panel will discuss and analyze (1)
the meaning of letting lay citizen decide death penalty, (2) If the
precedential standard should be kept as rigid rule for Saiban-in
or can it be ignored, and (3) the merit of letting professional
judges solely sentence death penalty from US experience. The

There is a growing demand for quantifiable data that supports
the need for increased access to legal aid, justice services
and legal information. There remains little debate about the
importance of access to justice issues. Rather, the conversation
has shifted from what to how. Questions about what the issues
are have given way to a call for action, rooted in research that
reflects best practices and innovative strategies for addressing
these issues. The Cost of Justice Project by the Canadian
Forum on Civil Justice includes research, surveys and reports
on A2J issues across Canada. The results of this work have,
and continue to inform national strategies for change. This
roundtable brings together researchers from this Project to
discuss the next stages in access to justice research, how
evidence-based data by the Cost of Justice Project is being used
to develop and advance national strategies, the difficulties of
doing methodological-based A2J research and the future of this
Project.

64 Although Access to Health and Safety are indispensable rights
that should be guaranteed for every person, its delivery system
is influenced by numerous other social factors and institutional
environment including government’s policy, economical
situation, cultural values and international market in global era.
In each country in Asia, Access to Health and Safety Rights are
facing with serious problems. In most cases, these problems
related to influences from global economy and we can observe
each country’s adaptation to those imposed forces utilizing
complementary system and institutions. Although its form
and appearance are different from each other depending on
the country’s specific circumstances, some common structural
relationships between influence of global economy and each
unique delivery of health and safety service can be found there.
In this session we examine the problems each country is facing
with and its efforts to overcome the situation.

Along with the civil rights and voting rights acts, the Immigration
and Nationality Act of 1965 is one of the most important bills
of the civil rights era. The Act’s political, legal, and demographic
impact continues to be felt, yet its legacy is controversial.
The 1965 Act was groundbreaking in eliminating the white
America immigration policy in place since 1790, ending Asian
exclusion, and limiting discrimination against Eastern European
Catholics and Jews. At the same time, the Act discriminated
against gay men and lesbians, tied refugee status to Cold War
political interests, and shattered traditional patterns of Mexican
migration, setting the stage for current immigration politics.

Fulfilling Social and Economic Rights by Sakiko Fukuda-Parr,
Terra Lawson-Remer and Susan Randolph (OUP 2015)
One of the most ambitious legacies of the 20th century was
the universal commitment to ensure freedom from want as a
human right. How far have we progressed; to what extent are
countries across the world living up to this commitment? States
have long escaped accountability for these commitments by
claiming inadequate resources. This book charts new territory in
examining the extent to which countries meet their obligations
to progressively realize social and economic rights. It develops
an innovative evidence based index, the Social & Economic
Rights Fulfillment (SERF) Index and Achievement Possibilities
Frontier methodology, rigorously based on international human
rights norms, making possible for the first time comparisons
of performance across very differently resourced countries
and over time. The book provides an overall global picture
of progress, regress and disparities amongst and within
countries and explores the factors influencing performanceincluding whether treaty and legal commitments, gender
equity, democracy/autocracy, and economic growth, explain
good performance-revealing surprising results. The data
provide empirical evidence to resolve some long-standing
controversies over the principle of ‘progressive realization’. The
book concludes by observing how the SERF Index can be used
in evidence based social science research, policy making and
accountability procedures to advance social change.

Two interrelated books will be discussed. One addresses the
crime of aggressive warfare for the case of Iraq, the other
representations of mass violence for the case of Darfur. Their
common denominator is a concern with modern categories of
international law in the context of mass violence. The session
thus aligns well with central concerns entailed in the theme
of the 2016 annual meetings. One of four thematic plenary
sessions, for example, addresses “Natural and Unnatural
Disasters – human crises and law’s response.” The books
suggested for this “authors meet readers” session address
aggressive warfare and genocide, “unnatural disasters” thus,
resulting from human action, and legal responses to them (or
the lack thereof) in the context of competing fields. A brief
description of the content of each of the two books lays open an
obvious correspondence with the sub-theme of the conference:
(1) Iraq and the Crime of Aggressive War examines crimes
committed in the context of the U.S. led war in Iraq, from the
torture of detainees at Abu Ghraib to unnecessary military
attacks on civilians. The book is an account of the violations
of international criminal law committed during the United
States invasion of Iraq. Taking stock of the entire war, it
uniquely documents the overestimation of the successes and
underestimation of the failings of the Surge and Awakening
policies. The authors show how an initial cynical framing of
the American war led to the creation of a new Shia-dominated
Iraq state, which in turn provoked powerful feelings of legal
cynicism among Iraqis, especially the Sunni. The predictable
result was a resilient Sunni insurgency that reemerged in the
violent aftermath of the 2011 withdrawal. Examining more than
a decade of evidence, this book makes a powerful case that the
American war in Iraq constituted a criminal war of aggression.
(This book appeared in the summer of 2015 with Cambridge
University Press).
66 (2) Representing Mass Violence: Conflicting Responses to
Human Rights Violations in Darfur asks how interventions by
the UN Security Council and the International Criminal Court
influence representations of mass violence. Further: what
images arise instead from the humanitarianism and diplomacy
fields? How are these competing perspectives communicated
to the public via mass media? The book zooms in on the case of
Darfur. It is based on an analysis of more than three thousand
news reports and opinion pieces and interviews with leading
newspaper correspondents, NGO experts, and foreign ministry
officials from eight countries. The book shows the dramatic
differences in the framing of mass violence around the world
and across social fields. Representing Mass Violence contributes
to our understanding of how the world acknowledges and
responds to violence in the Global South. (This book appeared
in the summer of 2015 with the University of California Press.)

After forty years of increasing prison construction and
incarceration rates, winds of change are blowing through
the American correctional system. The 2008 financial crisis
demonstrated the unsustainability of the incarceration project,
thereby empowering policymakers to reform punishment
through fiscal prudence and austerity. In Cheap on Crime, Hadar
Aviram draws on years of archival and journalistic research
and builds on social history and economics literature to show
the powerful impact of recession-era discourse on the death
penalty, the war on drugs, incarceration practices, prison health
care, and other aspects of the American correctional landscape.

A panel discussion of Nick Cheesman, Opposing the Rule of
Law: How Myanmar’s Courts Make Law and Order (Cambridge
Studies in Law and Society, Cambridge University Press,
March 2015), the first major study of courts and politics in
contemporary Myanmar. Combining sophisticated social and
legal theorising with a detailed account of courts in a littleunderstood country, it advances both general theory and
close empirical description at the highest level. It develops a
persuasive argument that the rule of law is opposed to law
and order, a concept with which it is commonly conflated. By
paying close attention to the Burmese-language records of
393 criminal cases supplemented by findings from fieldwork
and archival research of hitherto unutilised or underutilised
published and classified official documents, the book pushes the
study of politics in contemporary Myanmar beyond the binary
of democracy movement versus military dictatorship, and also
disrupts conventional thinking about how authoritarian rulers
use courts for political ends.

The so-called “gig” economy has injected questions of
contingent work and citizenship back into political debates. The
term describes economic sectors characterized by short-term
labor contracts, including those dominated by freelance work,
those dominated by independent contractor relationships,
and those now being transformed by so-called “sharing
economy” companies such as Uber and TaskRabbit. While it is
unclear if the “gig economy” is a markedly new phenomenon,
its prominence has highlighted the important role that nontraditional and freelance work plays in the US labor market, and
increasingly in global labor markets. By some estimates over
30% of the U.S. workforce, or about 54 million workers, engaged
in some kind of freelance activity in 2014-2015.
This panel seeks to examine this phenomenon from the
perspective of law and citizenship. Some of the questions that
will be addressed include: How does the nature of sharing and
gig economy platforms affect social integration,

This roundtable brings together a distinguished group of
sociolegal scholars to analyze and discuss the intersection of
law and disasters. In almost every respect, disasters and law are
deeply intertwined. The law defines what counts as a disaster,
establishes the prospects and limits of disaster mitigation,
enables and/or prevents disaster victim compensation, and
determines the pace and direction of rebuilding and resiliency.
In the absence of law, the human suffering that inevitably
accompanies disaster is dramatically magnified, yet law itself is
rarely a remedy to such suffering. How, then, should sociolegal
scholars approach the study of law and disasters? How can they
contribute to the lessening of human suffering? To what degree
might they be able to offer ways of understanding law and legal
institutions that have practical consequences for managing
aspects of the disaster lifecycle? What can they learn from
the intersection of law and disasters that might contribute to
sociolegal scholarship?
Our approach in this roundtable is explicitly comparative,
thanks to the participation of scholars from Korea, Taiwan, the
Netherlands, Germany, Japan, and the US. Although our primary
focus is Asia, our discussion with reach well beyond that region.
Our comparative focus results from the observation that unlike
some aspects of financial regulation where one can identify
the growth of transnational legal institutions that indicate
at least some degree of legal and regulatory convergence,
disaster management has aggressively resisted cross-border
cooperation. The ‘go it alone’ approach to disasters is in some
ways puzzling, given the regularity with which the property,
personal, and institutional damage wrought by disasters resists
the limit of national borders. One set of questions roundtable
participants will address, therefore, concerns the range of
similarities and differences in how law and disasters intersect
in different nations, why nations have not developed a robust
set of cross-border institutions for managing disasters, and the
degree to which collaborative or cooperative approaches to
disasters are feasible and/or desirable.

fair access to state courts. The series is funded by an advocacy
foundation.
What is the model for journalists to produce feature reports, or
for scholars in academia to accept funding to conduct research
from institutions or foundations with a point of view?
Life of the Law’s Advisory Board Member and LSA Scholar,
Osagie Obasogie, will chair a roundtable discussion with Life

This session provides a basic introduction to empirical research
methods with a particular focus on the study of law, legal
institutions, and legal behavior. The first part covers how
to construct a good empirical research question; tradeoffs
in various research designs; and the link between research
question and research design. We then focus on criteria for
good quantitative and qualitative research designs, discussing
typical problems and ways of addressing those problems. If time
permits, we will address issues of measurement and sampling.

76 “Foucault and the Politics of Rights” (Stanford: Stanford
University Press, 2015) focuses on Michel Foucault’s late
work on rights in order to address broader questions about
the politics of rights in the contemporary era. As several
commentators have observed, something quite remarkable
happens in this late work. In his early career, Foucault had been
a great critic of the liberal discourse of rights. Suddenly, from
about 1976 onward, he makes increasing appeals to rights in
his philosophical writings, political statements, interviews, and
journalism. He not only defends their importance; he argues
for rights new and as-yet-unrecognized. Does Foucault simply
revise his former positions and endorse a liberal politics of
rights? Ben Golder proposes an answer to this puzzle, which is
that Foucault approaches rights in a spirit of creative and critical
appropriation. He uses rights strategically for a range of political
purposes that cannot be reduced to a simple endorsement
of political liberalism. Golder develops this interpretation of
Foucault’s work while analyzing its shortcomings and relating it
to the approaches taken by a series of current critical thinkers
also engaged in considering the place of rights in contemporary
politics, including Wendy Brown, Judith Butler, and Jacques
Rancière, in the context of discussions about human rights,
‘relational rights’, the right to die and the death penalty.

The goal of this session is to provide consultation and
informal instruction about the use of specific methods and
their application in sociolegal research. Scholars experienced
in a range of research methods will sit in a large ballroom
at different tables, which are prominently labeled with the
methods about which they are prepared to advise. If you have
heard about a method and would like to know more about it,
if you are thinking about a particular method for a research
project, or if you are currently struggling with a method, you are
invited to consult with our experts-they are diverse in approach
and eager to advise you.

Friday 12:45 p.m. - 2:30 p.m. This Round table discussion will focus on a range of legal and
social institutions that do not clearly fall under the ambit of
“criminal law” or the “criminal justice system,” but that shape
the carceral state and criminal law enforcement regime.
Specifically, this roundtable will consider a set of related legal
regimes – immigration enforcement, municipal laws regarding
housing and zoning, and employment law doctrines and
institutions – that shape experiences of criminal punishment
and exacerbate the marginalization of those with criminal
records. While discussions of sentencing and policing reform
are certainly important to addressing the current state of
the criminal justice system, this Round table will focus on
the margins of criminal law to ask how other reforms or
legal decisions might reshape and address the problems of
contemporary criminal law.

Can law comprehend trauma? The concept of “trauma-informed
lawyering” has recently been heralded as a new cutting edge or
breakthrough in the legal world. It might as easily be noted that
law is just, belatedly catching up, as “trauma-informed care” has
been an established field in healthcare for more than a decade.
Participants will initially discuss the potential meanings of
trauma-informed lawyering, and the opportunities that the
framework poses for advocates and scholars concerned
with racial, economic and gender justice, the often disabling
physical and mental health effects of subordination, and
deeper structural change. Each contributor will also identify
the salience of trauma in their own advocacy, scholarship, and
legal interventions, the challenges in attempting to address
trauma through legal narratives, structures, and process, and
the consequences when trauma is or is not acknowledged or
validated, in legal spheres.

Assessing Social Progress and Its Barriers: Supranational
Organizations and Technologies of Governance
Roundtable Session
Friday
The roundtable is a session of an IRC which investigates the
various challenges that confronts Africa. Prevalent among these
factors identified is the poor provision of social services which
affects the realisation of socio-economic rights in most African
states. Poor maternal and child mortality rates, poor access to
basic education, access to habitable environment, to food and
to portable water all continue to elude Africa. The IRC examines
the current AU response agenda 2063. ‘An Africa of good
governance, democracy and respect for human rights, justice
and the rule of law’ It is therefore the focus of this research
group to compile a series of research presentations into a book
with a proposed title of: 2063 Africa: Issues in Education Law,
Strategic Policy, and Sustainable Development. It is anticipated
that the book will explore various socio-economic rights issues
arobust and viable agenda for the African Union
This inter-active session will revolve around on my book
(Carolina Academic Press) entitled, Involuntary Heroes. It
explores Hurricane Katrina’s impact on civil liberties and
challenges governments’ actions that infringe on people’s civil
liberties during emergencies and how courts handle allegations
of wrongful infringements. Overall, it continues the post911 debate over the need for an “emergency constitution.”
It enhances that debate by examining how declarations of
emergencies impact the nature of civil liberties. I think this
is a compelling program and is extremely relevant in light of
Ferguson, Mo, the Boston Marathon bombing, and the Ebola
scare.

A group of sociolegal scholars has joined with a large number
of other social scientists to produce a collective report, the
International Panel on Social Progress (IPSP), which documents
the achievements and failures of social progress. The initiative
parallels the International Panel on Climate Change. This
roundtable includes many of the scholars who are working
on the chapter on “Supranational Organizations and The
Technologies of Governance.” The roundtable will introduce
the project, discuss several of the themes in the chapter, and
invite ideas from the audience. The IPSP aspires to produce an
overview of a large field that draws on the expertise of a large
group of scholars. The chapter is in the process of being drafted
and finalized, and the contributors would appreciate further
input.

The academic job market is a difficult place to be - and
candidates need to think through how to present themselves
for a wide array of positions. Interdisciplinary legal studies
education is a unique and vibrant field - and applying for jobs
90 within it is different than applying for positions within more
standard disciplinary homes at research-focused institutions.
This roundtable includes faculty from several undergraduate
teaching-centered institutions, who hire often in the fields
related to law and society. It also includes faculty who mentor
graduate students towards these positions. The roundtable will
offer our collective reflections on, and advice for, the job market
for these types of positions. We will discuss cover letters,
teaching portfolios, the ‘job talk’ and teaching demonstration,
and the intangible things we look for, when evaluating
candidates to become our colleagues.

This session involves discussion by judges using a series of
scenarios to explore how a responsive judge might deal
with issues that could emerge in a courtroom hearing. The
scenarios are based on real court interactions and at the close
of each scenario discussion, the outcome of the real life court
interaction will be revealed. In the context of the discussion,
Responsive Judging is used as a term that describes a range of
behaviours and approaches used by judges to more effectively
attend to issues and problems that emerge in the justice system.
It is particularly focused on the way judges relate to those in the
courtroom.

The First Amendment represents a doctrine in flux. Many
of today’s most important legal conflicts are conflicts that
implicate the First Amendment, especially in light of the
Supreme Court’s continuing engagement with the issue and
the issuance of a dozen or more high profile cases. The most
prominent of these is, of course Citizens United. But there
have been many more such as Sorrell v. IMS Health, Brown v.
Entertainment Merchants Association, Reed v. Town of Gilbert,
United States v. Alvarez (Stolen Valor case), Synder v. Phelps,
McCullen v. Coakley, United States v. Stevens, and many more.
At stake are rules governing elections, net neutrality, regulation
of fraud, access to abortion, speech of public employees, free
exercise of religion and more. The First Amendment is the site
of the collision of disputes about gay marriage and commerce,
social responsibility and commerce, consumer protection,
protection of intellectual property and freedom of the press,
the role of the press in a democracy, pornography, hate speech,
and equality. Indeed, in large part because of the capaciousness
of the Court’s First Amendment doctrine, which offers the
opportunity to reframe many debates as questions of freedom
of religion or freedom of expression which would not previously
have been thought to raise these issues. This roundtable is
convened to discuss some of these issues.

The roundtable is a session of an IRC which investigates the
various challenges that confronts Africa. Prevalent among these
factors identified is the poor provision of social services which
affects the realisation of socio-economic rights in most African
states. Poor maternal and child mortality rates, poor access to
basic education, access to habitable environment, to food and
to portable water all continue to elude Africa. The IRC examines
the current AU response agenda 2063. ‘An Africa of good
governance, democracy and respect for human rights, justice
and the rule of law’ It is therefore the focus of this research
group to compile a series of research presentations into a book
with a proposed title of: 2063 Africa: Issues in Education Law,
Strategic Policy, and Sustainable Development. It is anticipated
that the book will explore various socio-economic rights issues
arobust and viable agenda for the African Union

American Penal Systems

After four decades of vertical increases in imprisonment
rates, driven by draconian penal policies and overly punitive
sentencing practices, the US carceral system appears to have
entered a state of structural crisis. With 2,2 million individuals
currently behind bars, 7 million under some form of penal
supervision, and hundreds of thousands of former prisoners
“reentering” society each year from penal institutions, mass
incarceration has become one of the most pressing social
problems facing the United States today.
Growing public awareness of the spiraling costs of this
hypertrophic carceral machine--in terms of both its fiscal
and social sustainability--seems to have provided, for the
first time since the punitive turn of the mid-1970s, a window
of opportunity to challenge the American penal state and
to question its compatibility with any notion of democratic
citizenship. After decades of penal populism and unabated
allegiance to the war on drugs and crime, some political
elites have finally started to take note of the unsustainable
nature of the present carceral state. Thus, over the past few
years a multitude of policy strategies, reform proposals, and
political platforms--e.g., “right on crime” coalitions, “justice
reinvestment” plans, “smart on crime” approaches, “reentry”
initiatives, and “evidence-based” policies--have begun to
These politico-institutional developments, underscored by
scattered legislative and policy reforms which so far have
resulted in modest--yet symbolically important--reductions in
the prison populations of some American states (e.g. Texas,
California, New Jersey, New York), have prompted a new wave
of critical analyses within the punishment & society literature.
Scholars and scholar/activists are faced today with the challenge
of trying to decipher the often ambivalent signals emerging
from the penal field, and to prefigure the possible futures of
the American penal state. Are we witnessing the beginning of
the end of mass incarceration, or are recent policy initiatives
just subtle ways to “tinker with the system”? Are current penal
reforms grounded in an emerging new sensibility towards
the human dignity of prisoners, or is fiscal austerity the only
vocabulary through which any effort at decarceration can be
framed today? Are the current reforms ushering a new era of
diversion and rehabilitation, or is net-widening and privatization
a more likely future for the US carceral state? Can penal reforms
be imagined separately from broader socioeconomic changes?
Is there any ground for strategic alliances between reformoriented policymakers and radical prison activists? What kinds
of scholar/activist collaborations can be imagined in the present
conjuncture? What agendas for penal reform can emerge from
such collaborations? This roundtable session aims to provide a
forum for scholars and scholar-activists to discuss these pressing
issues through an interdisciplinary lens at the crossroads of
political science, critical criminology, punishment & society, and
critical legal studies.

This roundtable will explore the evidentiary challenges facing
the domestic litigation of claims based on economic and social
rights. In spite of the increasing domestic recognition of the
justiciability of economic and social rights, this litigation often
hinges on complex and innovative arguments about difficultand politically sensitive-social problems. Substantiating such
arguments often requires presenting complicated social
science, technical, or statistical evidence. The roundtable will
bring together participants to discuss how evidence was used
in major cases involving economic and social right, from a
selection of jurisdictions in different parts of the world. In so
doing, the conversation aims to tease out types of evidence
that judges have found compelling in supporting economic and
social rights claims. The focus is to understand the influence
of legal doctrines, social and political culture, and institutional
frameworks on the kinds of evidence used in adjudication.

For more than two centuries, American family law has
been organized around marriage. But marriage is no longer
the dominant family form in the United States or abroad.
Cohabitation has skyrocketed, and today more than 40% of
American children are born to unmarried parents. American
family law has been slow to react to these changes. Until
recently, non-marital families lacked access to many of the
legal remedies available to divorcing parents and their children.
To remedy this, several scholars have proposed a new legal
status for parent-partners -- a status that would come with
legally enforceable rights and duties. Other commentators have
expressed concerns about the impact of such a status on low
income parents, who are much more likely than their wealthier
counterparts to eschew marriage. The session will examine the
risks and benefits of creating a new legal status for unmarried
parents, and more generally of bringing previously excluded
groups into the family justice system.

Sciences of the National Autonomous University of

The presentation contains the analyses of several research
problems involving the Judiciary and the conflicts arising
from the interaction between the law and the society. It also
encompasses different legal frameworks applicable in the sociolegal research in Latin America.
After describing the works to be presented in this Roundtable
Session, we can conclude that all of them resort to the
qualitative methodology in order to address each topic of
interest. The importance of using this method in the socio-legal
research lies in the possibility to observe more than the evident.
In other words, the qualitative methodology is aimed at finding
the meaning that is not always expressed by the social agents;
it allows us to deepen the surface of the social phenomena. In
fact, the individuals have certain qualities which are impossible
to quantify. Therefore, by using tools to strengthen the
quantitative data generated by an investigation we can open a
broader vision of interpretation.

If research and publication are central to the importance of
an academic discipline, how does law compare to disciplines
in the social sciences or humanities? What is law’s disciplinary
mission, and how is it advanced by legal scholarship? Does
practice-oriented legal scholarship comport with high
university ideals? Does conceptual legal scholarship have an
audience? Does interdisciplinary legal scholarship enable law
to retain a disciplinary identity of its own? How important to
the acceptance of law as a discipline are historical, cultural
or economic factors? How important is acceptance by those
outside law’s disciplinary circle (e.g., nonlegal scholars,
university administrators, grant-funding institutions, and
academic publishers)?

Room: Studio 5
Chair: David Zaring, The Wharton School
Discussions of monetary policy and financial regulation
often seem disconnected from issues of socio-economic
development. The conversation often focuses on the financial
industry – on the assumption that the broader economy and,
with it, society will prosper so long as the financial industry is
operating smoothly and profitably. This roundtable will seek to
reframe the debate by bringing together scholars of financial
regulation and monetary policy to discuss the history, flaws and
consequences of the predominant narrative. As an alternative,
this Roundtable will explore ways to connect financial
regulatory and monetary policy more directly with the end goal
of sustainable and broad-based economic growth and social
development.

The past few years have seen a variety of important
developments relating to the ongoing quest for reparations for
slavery and Jim Crow. These include renewed public interest in
reparations after high-profile news articles by Ta-Nehisi Coates;
new impetus for reparations from Caribbean actors; a variety of
new legal theories explored in contexts such as the international
arena; and the effect of the Black Lives Matter movement. How
do these developments affect the movement for reparations?
Panelists will discuss the current state of reparations law as well
as the ways that recent and ongoing developments will shape
reparations claims going forward.

Today, there is widespread agreement that the costs of
the American carceral state far outweigh its benefits. This
Roundtable explores one dimension of this problem: the
mismatch between judging cases individually and weighing
the collective costs and spillover effects of criminal justice
synoptically. We have many mechanisms for ensuring that
individual defendants are arrested, prosecuted, convicted,
and sentenced in rough proportion to their desert. But we
have few mechanisms for rationing the systemic costs these
decisions impose. Participants will discuss strategies for
more systematically rationing criminal justice, including block
grants and cap-and-trade mechanisms for allocating crimeprevention measures; cost-benefit analysis at different stages
of the criminal process; and tax-based approaches to managing
searches and seizures. The aim is to examine the promise and
limits of managing criminal justice using public policy tools that
have long been applied to other areas.

Soul, Self and Society traces the transformation of both the
conception of the self adn he conception of society over
the past several hundred years. The author argues that a
profound transformation has taken place. The long standing
morality of duty has been displaced, he argues, by a morality
of self-fulfillment. The primary institution that has facilitated
this transformation, he continues, is the rise of the positive
state that has assumed welfare functions that were once the
responsibility of the individual. This relief of responsibility,
he maintains, had permitted individuals greater capacity for
Saturday 8:15 a.m. - 10:00 a.m. individual self-expression and fulfillment.
Readers responding to this argument are scholars with deep
interests in social theory, historical sociology, and the rise
of the modern administrative state, and thus will be able to
assess the author’s bold claims in light of their own work and
understanding of the consequences of the transformation of the
modern state.

As is often the case with events of a certain scale, Hurricane
Katrina triggered a fundamental reconfiguration of New
Orleans at several levels. It decimated many neighborhoods
and displaced a population of evacuees, many of whom were
never to return. Their absence and post-storm reconstruction in
turn created an influx of a new population of immigrants who
differed from the diaspora in terms of race, class, gender and
in some cases sexuality. Families were fragmented and social
networks were disrupted. Some legal structures and practices
shifted along with the reconfigured city. At the same time, much
of post-Katrina New Orleans was preserved: neighborhoods
and networks recovered or were left intact, and some dynamic
processes (both good and bad) persisted. This panel will explore
the post-storm continuities and discontinuities, the factors
that differentiated what changed from what did not, and
the effect of continuity and discontinuity on vulnerable and
disempowered residents.

The global South characterises a condition brought about by
various forces of history including colonialism, imperialism and
capitalism. It describes a globalised relationship between the
colonised and coloniser. An important aspect of the term global
South is the recognition that there are multitudes of claims in
various spaces. In particular, the possibility of a south in the
North and a north in the South is important. Our roundtable,
while taking stock of this complicated milieu, asks each
participant to contemplate the significance of one or more of
the texts identified below on their respective scholarship, and
explore the various new vistas and opportunities for praxis in
the global South.

With formal legal access to marriage rights for same-sex couples
established by Obergefell v. Hodges, this multidisciplinary
roundtable, consisting of participants from sociology and
law, takes up ongoing and emerging socio-legal frontiers
in addressing the regulation of sexuality and identity. PostObergefell, we may engage a series of questions: what are
contemporary socio-legal conditions that abridge LGBTQ liberty
and equality under the law? What other framings might and
should scholars pursue for understanding the regulation of
identity and sexuality in this historical moment? Discussion
will pursue these questions across a range of topics, including
socio-legal insights on sexual identity in transitions to being
legally recognized as married, ways LGBTQ identity interacts
with systems of criminal justice, extramarital sexuality, sexual
violence and injury, impacts of marriage access on LGBTQ
communities of color, and the conflation of civil and religious
marriage.

Half a century after the civil rights movement forced dramatic
legal changes American society is being confronted with the
stark realities of the continuing embeddedness of race. From
the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina here in New Orleans to the
killings of unarmed black men and the “black lives matter”
movement to the less visible consequences of continuing racial
inequality across the society, the question of race and how it
shapes and is shaped by the law, remains a central theme in law
and society scholarship. Instead of focusing on the most obvious
and egregious manifestations of racism that were designed to
intimidate and subordinate whole communities, this panels
focus on the “new” Jim Crow in which a legal framework of
formal equality coexists with laws and practices that continue
to marginalize and exclude. Our three panelists research
and explore themes and contexts, from within the family
to employment and housing, demonstrating the continuing
importance of understanding the interaction between race
and law as well as the significance of old and new practices
from violence and exclusion to claims of colorblindness and
formal equality in the perpetuation of Jim Crow and its legacy in
contemporary America.
Saturday
Meeting here at the Delta, in the State of Louisiana, a product
of empire and home of a specifically mixed civil and common
law legal system, provides a unique opportunity for us to
consider anew the ways in which legal pluralism in all its forms
has been central to law and society. Our three presenters
approach the history and understanding of legal pluralism
from different disciplinary and research perspectives. As we
pursue the continuing discussion over the role and place of legal
pluralism as a core element of law in society, it will be of great
value for us to understand how different perspectives of legal
pluralism may be used to further our understanding of how law
is shaped by and operates in different social contexts. Whether
through the expansion of empires and the application of rules
of law in different social, political and cultural contexts, or in
post-colonial societies in which the inheritance of a so-called
modern legal system remains engaged with many other forms
and fora of law, it is in studying the ways in which law functions
under these conditions that our presenters are able to offer
important insights into the nature of legal pluralism and the
often unintended consequences that flow out of this multiplicity
of sources and understandings of law. By offering very
different approaches to the study and understanding of legal
pluralism the panel offers a unique opportunity to understand
the very pluralism that lies at the heart of both law and our
understandings of the law and society tradition itself.

Disaster focuses attention and raises questions about what
law can do: it disturbs and destabilizes law at the same time
as generating multiple new, and sometimes competing, legal
obligations. This panel will address questions about regulation
and its potential to prevent disaster as well as what laws and
regulation do and do not do in response to disaster. Panelists
will speak from their expertise in humanitarian assistance,
environmental justice, and regulation. In thinking through
justice claims, panelists will also implicitly raise questions
about definitions of disaster that focus on a discrete event.

behavior and responding to disaster. Yet law also fosters
disaster. Legal rules and processes may be the source of design
flaws in engineered systems or structures. Law may foster or
fail to ameliorate the inequality that makes people vulnerable,
or it may fail to hold actors accountable. Law and regulation,
however, are intimately connected not only to determining
the technical and physical requirements that can prevent or
reduce risk but is centrally concerned with ethical obligations
of fairness in law as well as with legal obligations and claims
centered on equality and justice. These ethical obligations are
commonly found in responses to disaster, in the humanitarian
turn in governance that brings nonprofits, local governments,
national states and international rights claims to alleviate
suffering. Yet, humanitarian interventions most often focus
on pressing need, so the ordinary practices of law are often
difficult to find. Finally, disaster impacts legal accountability and
law often disrupts the conditions required for organizing and
building allies. This panel will explore these many facets in the
connections between disaster, law, regulation and governance.

understanding of these dynamics might reveal about how the
boundaries between who are or who are not considered to

In accordance with our broader conference theme, “At the
Delta: Belonging, Place and Visions of Law and Social Change”,
this plenary encompasses a very broad perspective on the
question of belonging. From an analysis comparing the social
and legal dimensions of race and caste in the Mississippi Delta
in the United States and the Kaveri Delta in India to a study of
the new generation of “born free” students in post-apartheid
South Africa who are challenging the very structure and
functioning of the country’s institutions of higher education
as well as the content of their education, to the question of
the continued legal exclusion from the franchise through felon
disenfranchisement in the United States. Ranging across three
continents the participants on this panel explore the multiple
dimensions of inclusion and exclusion through law and social
practices across such diverse domains as higher education and
access to the ballot, on to the mobilization by communities
to achieve greater economic, and political access in the face
of racial and caste exclusions. The panel will explore the
linkages between who does and who doesn’t belong across

The book draws on six years of fieldwork and historical sources
dating back to the 1950s to investigate three case studies from
widely varying arenas-affirmative action in the University of
Michigan’s admissions program, housing redevelopment in
Chicago’s Rogers Park neighborhood, and the workings of the
human resources department at a Fortune 500 company. With
this evidence, Berrey explores the complicated, contradictory,
and even troubling meanings and uses of diversity as it is
invoked by different groups for different, often symbolic ends.
In each case study, diversity affirms inclusiveness, especially in
the most coveted jobs and colleges. Yet it resists fundamental
change in the practices and cultures that are the foundation
of social inequality. Berrey shows how this has led racial
progress itself to be reimagined, transformed from a legal fight
for fundamental rights to a celebration of the competitive
advantages afforded by cultural differences. The true cost of
the public embrace of diversity, she concludes, is the taming of
demands for racial justice.

Political and legal responses in the United States and Mexico
have resulted in the detainment and deportation of tens of
thousands of people fleeing the despair in Central America. This
roundtable session brings scholars from various disciplinary and
interdisciplinary fields to examine the ways Central American
bodies occupy a subject of non-belonging across space
and time. Genocidal state terror, slashing of social services,
and forced displacement amplifies the violence endured
by vulnerable Central American populations. The history of
Central Americans both in the Isthmus and diaspora has been
defined by an exclusion from rudimentary elements of safety.
How do legal and racialized policing structures animate the
subject position of non-belonging for Central Americans from
the Isthmus to the United States? How and why are Central
Americans made visible through a relationship to crisis? What
can centering Central American lives teach us about links
between race, security, and empire?

Law
This roundtable discussion will feature a mix of social scientists
and attorneys involved in assessing the outcomes of litigation on
behalf of 809 women who experienced sexual assault by prison
staff during their incarceration in a state prison. We begin with
an overview of the legal theory behind using class action as a
litigation strategy and the intended objectives of such litigation.
Specifically, we examine how the class action works to provide a
remedy for large numbers of similarly situated victims, and how
this operates as a strategy for victims of sexual assault (Kathleen
Darcy). We include a contextual overview of class action suits
on behalf of sexual assault survivors in other closed institutional
settings (i.e. military, prisons, universities). A more in-depth
discussion of the legal hurdles and successes of a specific class
action (Neal vs. Michigan Department of Corrections) involving
over 800 women sets the stage for subsequent discussants
to illustrate the individual benefits and consequences to
participation, as well as the effect on system level operation of
the prison.
Saturday 2:45 p.m. - 4:30 p.m. Using social science research methods, a retrospective survey
was collected from a sub-sample (n=166) of those involved in
the litigation (Sheryl Kubiak). Women discussed the individual
level ‘costs’ of their participation in the litigation as well as the
non-financial benefits. Negative consequences attributed to
involvement in the litigation included retaliation by officers,
being considered ‘snitches’ and dissatisfaction with the legal
procedures and an absence of individual punishment for the
perpetrators. Positive individual benefits of those involvement
included improved mental health, perceptions of a ‘just world’,
and feelings of being empowered and having a voice.
In terms of meeting the goals of tort litigation in ‘making the
person whole’, financial compensation provided to the women
to remedy their injury also had positive and negative benefits.
Using survey data, Cristy Cummings discusses women’s voiced
dissatisfaction with the settlement amount, the trauma
reminders and ‘triggering’ effects of receiving the funds, and
the ways that their financial settlement put them at risk for
exploitation by those in their lives. Conversely, women also
discussed the security that the settlement dollars afforded to
them in their reentry; being able to afford necessities such as
housing and transportation, to provide for their families, and to
pay down debts reduced their stress.

Jurisdictions around the world are enacting regulations to foster
diversity in corporate governance, ranging from soft measures
such as the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s diversity
reporting rule to more assertive measures such as quotas
in countries including Norway, Germany, Italy, and France.
Firms likewise increasingly prioritize inclusion, supported
by management consultant studies that trumpet diversity’s
instrumental value. As scholars begin to account for these
efforts, this Roundtable will examine crucial questions, such
as: how do national efforts compare? What do diversity efforts
convey about the relationship between public and private? Can
we compare diversity efforts for distinct identities such as sex
and race, and if so how? How do markets and firms implement
these rules and what are the lived experiences of those who
are subject to them? Do voluntary diversity efforts supplement
or compete with public remedies for inclusion? Should goals
of equality or profitability drive diversity efforts? In this
Roundtable, a range of scholars will explore and debate these
crucial questions for corporate and democratic governance.
Saturday
Beyond individual benefits, this class action litigation also
resulted in mandates for system/ prison-level reform. Women
involved in the litigation had differing opinions as to the prison
system changes. Gina Fedock describes the perceptions of
negative and positive changes within the prison. For example,
many women described new policies that restricted male staff
from working in the housing units of the prison as well as their
perception that the abuse declined and they were treated
better by staff. However, many women described the retaliatory
behavior of both staff and inmates, the insufficient change of
policies and practices, and the anger of the female corrections’
staff.

Reflections on Gender and Power
Roundtable Session
Room: Balcony I
Chair: Leslye Obiora, University of Arizona
This panel will explore the dissonances between the promise
of substantively promoting women’s participation in decisionmaking and specific outcomes in select arenas where
women are well represented in power echelons. Respective
papers will distill instructive insights from women’s lived
realities to interrogate orthodox assumptions about the
significance of gender as a paradigm for valuing and evaluating
political participation. The contributions are apt to refresh
understandings about the political economy mediating
women’s power-sharing and about the role of feminist agency
as a constructive orbit to democratize leadership, safeguard
human security and improve democratic quality. We will draw
on theoretical analyses, empirical critiques and doctrinal
interpretations to help ground abstract principles about powersharing and explore the correlation of ideas about building
the capacity of women to lead change within frameworks that
privilege egalitarian ideals and human rights.

Prisons and Immigration Detention
If Garapon noted that ‘the event of judging is in fact part of
justice to the same degree as the law: it is its foundation’, the
end of ceremonial justice questions the foundation of the law
itself. According to Ricoeur in Love and Justice, ‘… the exercising
of justice is not just a case of arguments, it also involves a
decision and this is the responsibility of the judge, as the last
link in the chain of procedure, wherever this may occur. And
when judge’s words are those of condemnation we recall that
statutes of justice carries a sword as well as a balance scale.’ He
124 Saturday 4:45 p.m. - 6:30 p.m.
adds that ‘Taken together, all these characteristics of judicial
practice allow us for the first time to define the formalism of
justice - not as a fault, but as a sign of force.’ By focusing on
the idea of formalism, we quickly realise that behind what
Ricoeur calls judicial practice hides the appearance, or even
the aesthetic of this justice. Such formalism is bind to ritual (s)
obvious in primitive societies, perfectly visible in archaic, premodern and modern societies.
Saturday
That said, the aesthetic side of the law and rituals seem to be in
declined in these ‘post-modern’ times. Contemporary societies
appears to be forgetting that applying the law is exercising a
power, a performative speech act (Austin), and the power to
decide of the meaning of words. From that point of view, like
Brunet puts it, we are all like Humpty Dumpty, who pretended
to be a master at that game. We have forgotten that in order
for the words to be spoken, a specific space, with specific
actors, has to be ready, and that often, like in a baroque-rococo
church, the words take their meaning solely because of a
specific ceremonial. Perhaps we should, like Latour recognise
that ‘Now that the modernity of our world is coming to a close,
we understand that it was no more secular than any other.’
Or we could question how the end of ceremonial in postmodernity, affect how justice is being done. This roundtable
will be concerned with transparent ‘post-modern’ courthouses,
the introduction of new technology in courts (Ipad judges,
cameras in courts,…), lawyer/courtroom video clips as a form of
internet “entertainment.”, and all the elements that affects the
ceremonial of justice.

Felice Batlan’s Women and Justice for the Poor: A History of
Legal Aid, 1863-1945, reconstructs a lost history of legal aid
in the United States. Building on extensive archival research,
it pushes beyond traditional narratives of the early history of
legal aid and accepted definitions of the meaning of legal work,
demonstrating how in the late nineteenth and early twentieth
centuries women’s organizations became leading providers of
legal aid in cities across the United States.
Saturday 4:45 p.m. - 6:30 p.m. Batlan then examines the dramatic consequences when, in
the early twentieth century, professional male lawyers took
an interest in legal aid. Male lawyers sought to professionalize
legal aid. Part of this professionalization process involved the
displacement of the women lay lawyers who for generations
had been providing legal services to the poor. At stake in
this conflict was not only the question of who could claim
professional authority but also two different models of legal
aid. One model—which became associated with the rising
profession of social workers—sought to blur the line between
legal and non-legal services, insisting on a holistic approach to
clients’ problems, aiming at substantive rather than procedural
justice, and focusing on the entire family unit, rather than
focusing simply on the individual. Strikingly, as Batlan shows,
the end result of this conflict was not a linear progression from
social work to law—or from women to men—but a complex
story in which conflict was followed by accommodation.
Ultimately, the book questions what justice, the rule of law, and
expertise really means, in the face of aching need and poverty.
This panel of leading scholars will discuss how legal history can
be rewritten to allow for new narrative that challenge much of
what we know about the legal profession and how such new
histories create a usable past.

This roundtable brings together scholars from a range of
countries and disciplinary backgrounds to discuss the dynamics
of the global response to the Syrian refugee situation.
Panellists will apply their expertise to various dimensions of the
crisis, including: the creative use of labels by states to opt in/
out of their legal obligations, particularly Turkey’s use of the
‘temporary guest’ label, the journeys of Syrian refugees to the
EU, the response of European policy-makers, advocates, and
the media to mass arrivals, European legal proposals, possible
international legal options for burden-sharing, the response
of the traditional ‘resettlement’ countries of Australia, Canada
and the USA, and finally, a more general discussion of the ways
in which human movement is a collective political act for those
with few other means of political expression.
Ultimately, the panel will assess how this particular ongoing
situation can inform the more general study of migration, law,
and society.

Corruption recently has emerged as one of the most important
issues in South African law and politics. This Roundtable
session brings together experts with a diverse range of
perspectives for a wide-ranging conversation that will discuss
the potential relationships among the new Unite Against
Corruption movement, the increase in “service-delivery” or
“local” protests, the threat posed by new and emerging parties
to the African National Congress’ political dominance, the role
of independent, Chapter 9, institutions (including the Public
Protector) and the South African Constitutional Court’s uneven
and conflicting approach to corruption and related issues in its
democratic-rights decisions. We’ll also prognosticate the ANC’s
future and whether the related political reconfigurations these
developments portend might influence the Court’s role in future
cases.

Saturday
Participants:

Drawing from three years of on-site research, this panel utilizes
survey analysis and life-history interviews of inmates and
staff to explore the history, purpose and functioning of the
Prison Seminary and Inmate Minister programs at Louisiana
State Penitentiary (aka “Angola”). Life-history interviews
foregrounding religious faith as a means of coping with the
deprivations of long-term confinement, highlight deep-level
change in self-identity corresponding to lower rates of discipline
and higher functioning when controlling for other factors. The
research documents faith-based programming at Angola as
more than just “neoliberal responsibilization” or traditional
rehabilitation. Religious practice among inmates who freely
choose to participate proves to be dramatically transformative
in analyses utilizing structural equation modeling. Concerns
regarding the First Amendment, the dysfunctional state of
American corrections, and directions for future research will
also be addressed.

institutions like schools and municipal agencies are erasing
many mid-level jobs that provide stable employment for many
women. The cult of entrepreneurship that rewards those
with outsized egos who are not just willing to take risks, but
to advance themselves at the expense of others. The future
promise more of the same, with unstable business cycles, a
surge in contract workers (part of the new “sharing economy”),
and the strafing of safety-net programs. In this age, antidiscrimination laws and family leave policies aren’t enough. We
must rebuild gender equity from the ground up. Speakers in this
session will suggest how.

how we can commence the journey towards a human rights
framework to ensure decent and dignified care for older people.
The participants are authors of “Towards Human Rights in
Residential Care for Older Persons: International Perspectives.”
The book takes a comparative approach to present and future
challenges facing the care home sector for older people. It
identifies how particular societies (Kenya, Egypt, Australia,
China, England, Israel, Japan, and the US) care for their older
and oldest people, whether demographic and economic change
has placed their systems under pressure and the role residential
elder care homes play in their culture. The Roundtable will
explore the extent to which constitutional or other rights form

This session will explore different modes of writing, including
the use of narrative, biography, prosopography, and other
genres, that people use to speak across disciplinary audiences
and/or institutional directives. We will explore how questions
of audience and institutional constraints and mission shape
decisions about how to present historical subjects, stories,
evidence, and arguments. We will hear from a public historian
about the nexus of legal history, public history, and institutional
histories (institutional in the dual sense, meaning historical
narratives of institutions and historical narratives that are the
product of institutions in contrast to the product of individual
scholars). These scholars face choices about narrative styles
and prose in writing history for the public, just as academybased scholars encounter tensions between addressing their
specialized readers and reaching broader, general audiences.

Roundtable Session

Participants:

The common narrative about African Americans’ quest for social
justice and Civil Rights during the Twentieth Century consists,
largely, of men and women working through organizations to
bring about change. The typical list of organizations includes,
inter alia, the NAACP, the NAACP-LDF, the National Urban
League, the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, and the
Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee. What is almost
never included in this list is African American collegiate-based
fraternities. However, at the turn of the Twentieth Century
emerged a small group of organizations founded on personal
excellence, the development and sustaining of fictive-kinship
ties, and racial uplift. Given these organizations’ almost
immediate creation of highly-functioning alumni chapters in
cities around the United States, members of these organizations
who were college graduates could continue their work in
actualizing their respective organizations’ ideals.

The huge prison buildup of the past four decades has few
defenders today, yet reforms to reduce the number of people in
U.S. jails and prisons have been remarkably modest. Meanwhile,
a carceral state has sprouted in the shadows of mass
imprisonment, extending its reach far beyond the prison gate.
It includes not only the country’s vast archipelago of jails and
prisons but also the growing range of penal punishments and
controls that lie in the never-never land between prison and full
citizenship, from probation and parole to immigrant detention,
felon disenfranchisement, and extensive lifetime restrictions
on sex offenders. As it sunders families and communities and
reworks conceptions of democracy, rights, and citizenship, this
ever-widening carceral state poses a formidable political and
social challenge.
Politics” (Princeton University Press, 2015), Marie Gottschalk
examines why the carceral state, with its growing number
of outcasts, remains so tenacious in the United States. She
analyzes the shortcomings of the two dominant penal reform
strategies-one focused on addressing racial disparities, the
other on seeking bipartisan, race-neutral solutions centered on
reentry, justice reinvestment, and reducing recidivism.

following topics (i) freedom of speech and humor on the web;
(ii) gender, identity and internet platforms; (iii) sharing economy
and its regulatory challenges in Brazil; (iv) transparency and
online channels of participation; (v) net neutrality; (vi) state

Pluralism challenges boundaries by resisting either/or views
of relationships or identities. Adoption and reproductive
technologies create situations in which a child can have
multiple mothers -- genetic, gestational, and social -- which
requires law to draw boundaries to distinguish between
legal and biological parenthood. International adoption and
reproductive technology expand the inquiry to citizenship.
Boundaries between so-called good and bad mothers further
shape social and legal parenthood. Commodification and
reproductive justice scholarship map these evolving boundaries
and propose improvements that reconceive parenting,
especially motherhood, across boundaries of race, class,
sexual orientation, marital status, age, and disability. This
roundtable explores ways to create a less fractured discourse on
procreation and procreation and parenting as a matter of legal
and social concern.

Annelise Riles recently argued that today “collaboration [has
become] its own kind of constitutional moment, a different
form of politics - one that is constitutive of a new set of ethical,
social, political, and institutional relations, albeit one deeply
implicated in the economics of the moment, just as pluralism
was for a previous generation.” This roundtable gathers scholars
to discuss methods of empirically studying such practices of
collaboration, democracy, and participation in both dispute
resolution and economic exchange-as these practices variously
represent efforts to improve existing legal and economic
institutions, radicalize or supplant such institutions, or offer
alternative forms of economic and legal organization but
without necessarily upending dominant statist and capitalist
frames. The roundtable explores ways in which the courtroom
and the jury system could be characterized as democratic
spaces, as well as social activism and social enterprise in
economic exchange including how concepts such as profit,
equity and debt are configured by actors with commitments to
civic participation, grassroots innovation, and economic justice.
Ultimately, the roundtable asks how diverse methodologies
can help the researcher understand and assess the ways in
which democratic practices of dispute resolution, law, and
economic justice move, however piecemeal (or not), beyond
neoliberalism.

The successes seen by Japan’s quasi-jury system combined
with societal and legal challenges encountered by individuals
seeking recourse against powerful companies and the Japanese
government give rise to the need for more lay participation in
the civil realm. This work closely examines this need in various
contexts including injuries suffered at the hands of the recent
Fukushima nuclear disaster. It also focuses on a forgotten
era in Okinawa in which Japan actually conducted civil jury
trials. During this era, a pattern emerged in which women
plaintiffs consistently won legal disputes against multinational
corporations and a local electric company. Despite this success,
the civil jury was quickly scrapped. This precedent stands as an
important illustration to Japan and the rest of the world.
By way of background, Japan lagged the rest of the world in
terms of citizen participation in the judicial process for over
sixty years. In fact, it was the only G-8 nation without a citizen
participation system in either criminal or civil trials. As part of
a historic internal transformation of its legal system though,
this drastically changed on May 21, 2009, when Japan officially
introduced citizen participation into a select category of
criminal trials pursuant to the “Saiban-in ho” or Act Concerning
Participation of Lay Assessors in Criminal Trials (the “Lay Judge
Act”). As part of its new “saiban-in seido” or lay judge system,
Japan now conscripts registered voters to serve on mixed
criminal tribunals comprised of lay citizens and professional
judges. By design, the Lay Judge Act purposefully limits lay
participation to involvement in select serious criminal cases
only.

Japanese legal community predicted quick failure based on the
perceived incompetence of lay judges, public hostility to the
idea of jury participation, and lack of tradition. Others voiced
skepticism that the system was doomed because the lay judges
would lack adequate legal training, suffer from insufficient
knowledge, and rely too heavily on emotion and bias. Contrary
to these predictions, Japanese citizens have seriously embraced
their new responsibilities and positively contributed to the
judicial process. The educational outcomes of lay service
in serious criminal trials have been invaluable as well. Not
only has the level of satisfaction in participation among lay
judges reached 95%, but also the lay judge system has gained
acceptance from both the public and the government.
Given the high interest in Japan regarding lay participation
together with the substantial impact that certain civil trials can
have on society, the current environment in Japan is perfect
for seriously considering the expansion of citizen participation
into the legal decision-making process in civil trials. Civil dispute
resolution plays a vital role in shaping any society. In fact, it
constitutes the core of any legal system and popular base. In
civil law systems, citizen participation is alien to many forms
of dispute resolution, particularly civil litigation. Consistent
with this concept, Japan does not presently have a jury system
or allow lay participation in civil cases. Instead, professional
judges conduct Japanese civil litigation without juries over the
course of months, if not years. However, having embarked on a
course that encourages civic engagement and seeks for greater
transparency and access to the judicial system, Japan would be
well served to extend citizen participation into the civil justice
system. Opening certain civil trials to lay participation in lawsuits
having major societal impact is the next logical step for Japan
as it continues to advance the goals underlying its ongoing
legal reforms. These lawsuits might involve governmental
misconduct, administrative dispositions, environmental
disasters such as the recent meltdown at the nuclear reactors in
Fukushima, and other disputes that significantly affect society as
a whole.

A central question for socio-legal studies is why people obey
the law (to the extent they do), or stated more generally,
what causal role the law plays in people’s behavior. The social
sciences are preoccupied with a debate between two dominant
answers: that people are motivated to defer to law’s perceived
legitimacy and that law deters behavior by threatening
sanctions. In The Expressive Powers of Law, Richard McAdams
(the Bernard D. Meltzer Professor at the University of Chicago
Law School) fundamentally shifts the debate by offering a
third explanation of how law creates compliance: through its
expressive power. McAdams identifies and investigates two
sources of law’s expressive influence, its ability to coordinate
behavior and its ability to inform beliefs.
AMR: Richard H. McAdams - “The Expressive Powers of
Law”
McAdams first claims that law has a coordination power in
situations where people seek order, i.e., where, despite some
level of conflict, they share a mutual interest in limiting the
costs of conflict. Traffic regulations, for example, coordinate
behavior by making salient one way of avoiding an accident
– as by observing lane boundaries or having drivers on one
road yield to those on another – where both drivers prefer
having priority over the other but also strongly wish to avoid a
collision. McAdams generalizes from traffic to many domains
including property disputes, constitutions, and international
law. Second, McAdams claims that law has an information
power. Anti-smoking laws, for example, reveal information
about public attitudes against smoking and the health risks of
second-hand exposure. This information causes individuals to
anticipate greater reputational risks to legal non-compliance
and greater benefits from the private enforcement of law, both
of which produce greater legal obedience. McAdams generalizes
from smoking regulation to other legal realms, exploring the
information communicated by mandatory seat belt rules, antidiscrimination law, and the repeal of unenforceable sodomy
laws, as well as discussing the informational importance of
constitutional doctrine against government endorsement of
religion. In general, McAdams claims that expressive power
explains the law’s sometimes puzzling efficacy, as when certain
tribunals – the International Court of Justice, medieval Icelandic
courts, mining camp courts, pirate arbitration, etc. – are able
to resolve disputes effectively even though they lack coercive
power or (at least initially) legitimacy.
Room: Salon E
The issue of legal compliance – why people obey law – is
fundamental to socio-legal studies and public policy. Yet the
With five years of intensive preparatory activities and six years
of actual lay judge trial experience under its belt, it is an ideal
time for Japan to expand lay participation into the civil realm.
With this expansion, Japan can foster more accountability,
enhance democratic engagement, generate positive change
in society, and fully achieve the objectives of its recent
monumental legal reforms. Also, the Japanese judiciary is
prepared for a progressive expansion of the system given that
criminal lay judge trials have taken root and started bearing
fruit.
Lay Participation
144 Sunday 10:15 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. dominant debate between legitimacy and deterrence (largely
between sociology and psychology on the one hand and
economics on the other) neglects and distracts from the fact
that law influences behavior in myriad ways, and that the most
important mechanism may vary from context to context. Too
often, those advocating the causal significance of legitimacy
infer empirical support for their position merely from the
fact that law affects behavior in the absence of sanctions
(and those who advocate the causal significance of sanctions
tend to think that any and all compliance is evidence of their
position). Yet where sanction-less law does affect behavior
(as it often does), the best explanation might be not be
legitimacy but the expressive powers McAdams identifies, as
he claims in certain examples. Overall, McAdams advocates a
pluralistic understanding of law’s effects, one that embraces
legitimacy and sanctions, as well as expression (coordination
and information), and also important interactions between the
mechanisms. These ideas are a challenge to the way most sociolegal scholars think about the fundamental issue of obedience.
The proposed panel of prominent scholars will offer a genuinely
interdisciplinary discussion of The Expressive Powers of Law,
making the panel of broad interest to anyone interested in how
law influences behavior. Dau-Schmidt is a legal economist who
is entirely conversant with the conventional sanction-centered
view that economics has of law, but also wrote a path-breaking
article on the economically heterodox idea that law also
influences behavior by shaping individual preferences. Knight
is a political scientist specializing in law, institutions, and social
theory, who has written on the legitimacy of courts and the
coordination theory on which McAdams relies. Nadler is a legal
psychologist who has written extensively on the psychology
of legitimacy. Roithmayr is a critical race scholar who uses
evolutionary game theory to explain institutional racism, well
positioned to assess the game theory in McAdams’ book and
the claims about the expressive effects of anti-discrimination
law.

While radical criminology is not the pariah of the discipline it
once was, there is still only a relatively small space in which
such scholarship can be heard. Mainstream theoretical
perspectives still dominate the criminological landscape, as
they have since the field’s inception, forcing radical scholars
and policymakers onto the fringes of academia where their
work is less likely to influence the epistemology and politics
of contemporary criminology, both within academia and in
the realm of policy. This roundtable seeks to discuss ways in
which mainstream criminological discourse can be challenged
and new critical spaces be broken open in an attempt to make
more radical perspectives heard. Participants in this roundtable
will draw on their research in areas such as immigration, mass
incarceration, prison reform, alternatives to incarceration, social
control, human rights, and inequality in an attempt to challenge
mainstream discourses.

principles of administrative law might usefully inform inquiries

premise that the responsibilities of Article III courts bear
important similarities to those of federal administrative
agencies, presenters will ask whether courts can and/or

Although law and legal process are inherently psychological
in nature, traditionally, relatively few law professors, judges,
or legal practitioners have drawn on empirical psychological
research to inform their perspectives and decisions. In recent
years, the legal community has increasingly recognized that
both substantive law and legal procedure rest on a multitude
of testable assumptions about human behavior that can be
informed by psychological research. Without formal training in
psychology, however, it can be challenging for legal experts to
identify relevant and informative psychological research and to
interpret the empirical research results. And psychologists who
lack formal training in law have difficulty identifying important
legal issues and conducting research that deftly informs
them. This Roundtable discusses an effort to strengthen the
intersection of law and psychology by integrating psychological
research with topics covered in the core law school curriculum.

Sunday 10:15 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. This roundtable details and engages the research findings of a
diverse group of scholars from law and other disciplines who
participated in a LatCrit Study Space project in Guatemala
during summer 2015. The research group is preparing a
book of participant essays that aims to study more closely
the relationship between Guatemala and its corporations.
Guatemala is experiencing tremendous social upheaval
from corporate acts, with the state as an accessory, with
consequences that include environmental degradation, water
depletion and contamination, forced displacement, and labor
exploitation, among others. Caught between the obliging state
and corporations are the communities most deeply affected
by both the law’s absence and presence. The questions this
roundtable will address include how law can and should restore
the balance between promoting investment and economic
development with protecting the public interest and preserving
the public good. These inquiries also implicate the protection of
rights, whether of individuals or communities in the collective,
including the right to self-determination, the right to food and
health, or the right to dignified work.

Part I of the forthcoming book reframes the relationship
between Guatemala as a state and mostly foreign corporations
such as in the mining industry. One framework is through
the lens of voluntary codes on corporate social responsibility
whereby the corporation obtains both a legal and social license
to operate effectively and legitimately in Guatemala. A second
lens emphasizes Guatemala’s obligations to regulate acts of
corporations to comply with human rights responsibilities
under the American Convention on Human Rights. Part II
addresses development and the environment in Guatemala’s
business practices. Guatemala needs economic development,
but how can it do so sustainably and responsibly? Part II not
only documents significant gaps or deficiencies in Guatemala’s
current environmental regime-e.g., water or environmental
impact assessments-or poor practices by corporations-e.g.,
deforestation and the palm oil industry-but also prescribes
solutions to improve current practices. Part III documents the
power imbalance in the development choices of the central
government vis-a-vis rural and indigenous communities. These
chapters rely on international norms and comparative studies to
offer lessons for Guatemala that respect the sovereignty rights
of local and indigenous communities in terms of development.
Part IV examines development in the context of trade and
investment norms, considering whether and how international
trade agreements, in particular CAFTA-DR, promote or
discourage corporate social responsibility in Guatemala. Finally
Part V looks at the phenomena of migration and development.
The recent surge of Central American unaccompanied minors
and children fleeing with their mothers to the United States
made us confront the human face of migrants whose fates are
rooted in the dire reality that the countries from which they
flee cannot or will not protect them. These chapters connect
Guatemala’s story of migration and violence to both the past
and the present-the civil war years to now-and to the licit and
illicit actors who exploit them.

levels, and exists in many different contexts . Despite the
shocking statistics on the prevalence of ageism and its negative
effects, research on ageism is relatively scarce, especially when
compared to sexism and racism. The goal of this COST Action is
to challenge the practice of ageism and allow older people to
realize their full potential. It is a European funded collaborative
platform that bridge disciplinary, methodological, and national/
regional practices, and schools of thought.

This session presents the research and action conducted so far
by the Legal Working Group within the European COST Action
on the multi disciplinary and multi national perspectives on
ageism.Ageism (i.e., the complex and often negative social
construction of old age) is highly prevalent worldwide.A
recent study found that ageism is the most prevalent type of
discrimination, reported by almost 35% of all participants over
the age of 18. Ageism occurs at the structural and the individual

Participants in this roundtable will critically evaluate whether
the academic turn towards emphasizing scientific reliability and
rigour in respect of expert opinion evidence (e.g. NAS, 2009;
Mnookin et al, 2011; Edmond et al, 2012) is compromised
by relative inattention to the social dimensions of science,
including the gendered and racialized context of knowledge
production in forensic science and criminal justice. Forensic
evidence has both produced and revealed wrongful convictions.
However, gender, race and forensic science are rarely analyzed
together (see Parkes & Cunliffe, 2015). This roundtable will
consider why ‘social questions’ have largely been bracketed
separately from studies of the reliability and utility of forensic
evidence, and investigate the invidious consequences of this
separation. The participants are drawn from a broad range of
jurisdictions and perspectives, but all share an interest in the
intersection of criminal investigation, sociology and law.
