EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Hazel Weiser NORMAN DORSEN FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM

NORMAN DORSEN

Thirty-five years ago, Norman Dorsen created the Society of American Law Teachers, dedicated to justice, equality, excellence and academic freedom. He appreciated that law teachers could act and speak more boldly than law schools. He also understood that an organization should include, not just professors, but the many professionals who make significant contributions to legal education without the title of professor. Plus the acronym-SALT-is cool! In creating SALT, Norman recruited people from diverse political perspectives, from schools that were elite and modest, young and old, and superstars and worker bees. For decades, SALT has been the largest membership organization oflaw teachers in the world. SALT has flourished as the result of Norman's brilliant vision and guidance.

In 2001, Norman offered SALT $60,000 to be matched by our contributions to create a fellowship to fund law student work. It was a magnificent gift, which forced us to match not just Norman's money, but his vision. We have now matched his money and are about to hire the first Dorsen Fellow.

Matching Norman's vision is a long time challenge.

SALT is only one of the many institutions and commm1ities that Norman has created and nurtured. In May 2008, the Arthur Garfield Hays Program will celebrate its 50th Anniversary. Norman has been the Director of the Hays Program since he came to NYU Law School in 1961. He appreciated the value of an endowed program, independent of law school financing. He raised the money to make the program financially independent and then offered fellowships to leading civil liberties lawyers. Under his leadership, the Hays Program has trained and continues to nurture the next generation of civil rights and liberties lawyers as well as those who have made their mark in the past half century. Because it is small, the Hays Program is a true community.

Norman's influence in making the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and the concept of civil liberties a major force in the United States and the NORMAN DORSEN FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM world cannot be understated. From 1969 until 197 6, he served as General Counsel to the ACLU. For many of those years, the ACLU had only one or two paid professional staff Norman did the work. As a law professor at NYU Law School, he had the opportunity to file briefs in all of the important civil liberties cases before the United States Supreme Court and presented oral argument in many of them: Gideon, Fast, Levy v. Louisiana, Roe v. Wade, the Pentagon Papers, and the Nixon Tapes. And many, many more that are not household names, but which affect our daily lives.

In 1976, Norman shifted roles at the ACLU, becoming President of the Board. He led the organization through challenges, most seriously the question whether civil libertarians should defend the right of Nazis to demonstrate in Skokie, a community that included many Holocaust survivors. Norman also led the ACLU through a process of expanding the concept of civil liberties to include gender discrimination, reproductive rights, immigrants' rights, and the rights of gay people.

Norman's influence in making human rights an international issue also cannot be understated. When he was Dean of NYU Law School, John Sexton tapped Norman to create a world class global program. From 1996 until 2000, he served as the Chair of the Board of the Lawyers Committee for Human Rights. In 1996, these international experiences led Norman to create the U.S. Association of Constitutional Law, an affiliate of the International Association of Constitutional law.

Norman's influence on NYU Law School is wise and pervasive. Many of NYU's governing documents bear the names of committees he chaired. For decades, deans have given Norman the hard jobs, and he has done them well.

In 2007, the AALS gave Norman the Award for Lifetime Contributions to the Law and Legal Education, an award that Norman particularly appreciates. The AALS did not commit to make this a regular, annual award. The AALS understands that Norman is special.

Certainly his institution-building contributions are unique. But Norman's capacity and willingness to connect with people makes him extraordinary,

SALT thanks Norman Dorsen for this vision, his determination, and his commitment to law, justice, and equality. "RULE OF LAW"AWARD TO PAKISTANI JUDGES

On November 3, 2007, General Musharraf, President of Pakistan, in a brazen attempt to perpetuate his own rule, issued Provisional Constitution Order #1 of 2007 in which he demanded that judges in the highest courts in the Pakistani judicial system take oaths of allegiance. Those who refused, along with thousands of lawyers, journalists and human rights activists were jailed.

The Society of American Law Teachers is proud to honor these Pakistani judges for risking their liberty and careers, and in some cases, their lives, to uphold the rule of law:

JUSTICE ASIF SAEED KAHN KHosA AccEPTING

During a lunch with a Canadian Senator in the Senate in Ottawa on 19th ofJune last year, I had pleaded with him to revisit some of the approaches the West have adopted in its war against terror. In its war against terror, the West was supporting some despots and dictators in the third world who in tum had unleashed a reign of terror upon their own people in order to perpetuate their own rule, or misrule to be more appropriate. I had tried to bring home to the Senator that such an approach was bringing more harm to the West than good as limited successes in the actual combating of terrorism were heavily outweighed by the distrust of and hatred against the West in the third world due to this oppression. Little did I know then that on the 3rd of November, I shall also be a part of the 'collateral damage' of such a war against terror.

On 12th of October, 1999, General Musharraf overthrew the elected government of Pakistan, suspended the Constitution and took over the reigns of the government immediately after having been dismissed by the government from his post of Chief of the Army Staff The subsequent tragedy of9/11 ensured western support for Musharrefin the years to come as an ally in the ensuing war against terror. In the year 2002, he proclaimed himself as an 'elected' President of the country on the basis of a referendum which was universally known to be sham and bogus. Last year he wanted to be 're-elected' as the President while still wearing his military uniform, but his candidature was challenged before the Supreme Court of Pakistan. When the Supreme Court was about to hand down its verdict, apprehend- ing an adverse decision, General Musharraf suspended the Constitution again on 3rd ofNovember, arrested almost 2/3rd oftl1e entire superior judiciary of the country and required the whole superior judiciary to take a fresh oath of office owing allegiance to his Provisional Constitution Order.

The ChiefJustice of Pakistan and an overwhelming majority of the Judges of the Supreme Court and the four provincial High Courts, including myself, refused to take such an oath and, thus, according to General Musharrafs decree, we all 'ceased' to hold our offices and were denied pension and other retirement benefits. Subsequently General Musharraf "RULE OF LAW" AWARD TO PAKISTANI JUDGES packed the Supreme Court with his own handpicked Judges who later dismissed the constitutional challenges to his candidacy as the President of Pakistan and also validated his Emergency rule and the Provisional Constitution Order. The ChiefJustice of Pakistan and some of the Judges of the Supreme Court have been under house arrest ever since. I, too, had been forcibly detained at my house for about a week without any formal order of arrest or detention. To the West it may only be 'collateral damage' in its war against terror, but to us in Pakistan, this is an outright destruction of the judiciary as an institution and the same is nothing but deliberate and intentional.

There are, however, two things in our predicament which bode well for the future. Firstly, the bold stand taken by the Pakistani judiciary against arbitrary, capricious, and whimsical executive action augurs well for the future of our country as it has sown seeds of independence of the judiciary and constitutionalism as a way of life. Secondly, the support and encouragement received by the Pakistani judiciary from the international legal community in an hour of trial is likely to go a long way in fostering international bonding and in strengthening the resolve of the judiciaries everywhere to stand by the lofty ideal of independence.

On behalf of the affected Judges of Pakistan, I thank you for rising to the occasion, for sharing our ideals and dreams, for lending a helping hand and for providing us unprecedented and unflinching support. Your support is a great source of strength for all of us, and we shall cherish this partnership, solidarity and camaraderie forever. And, in the end, thank you of course for the Award. As a matter of fact, you deserve this Award more than we do. We did what was the only right thing to do. It was you who went out of the way and, literally, walked an extra mile. God bless you all.

Accepting the Rule of Law Award is Justice Asif Saeed Khan Khosa, Judge of the Lahore High Court. Mr. Asif Saeed Khan Khosa completed his Law Tripos from Queens' College, University of Cambridge, in 1977. He got his LL.M. from Queens' College, University of Cambridge in the 197 8 with specialization in Public International Law in the subjects of the Law of Peace, the Law of War and Armed Conflict, the Law of International Institutions and the Law of Civil Liberties. He was called to the Bar on July 26, 1979 at the Honourable Society of Lincoln's Inn, London, United Kingdom and was conferred the degree of Utter Barrister. Mr. Khosa has authored two books titled 'Heeding the Constitution' (1995) and 'Constitutional Apologues' (1997). He has also edited 'The Constitution of Pakistan, 1973' with "RULE OF LAW" AWARD TO PAKISTANI JUDGES all amendments (1989 and reprinted every year).

Barrister Asif Saeed Khan Khosa was appointed aJudge of the Lahore High Court, Lahore in 1998. He is one of the judges who refused to take a new oath of office required by Pakistan's military regime in November 2007. M. SHANARA GILBERT HUMANRIGHTS AWARD

SISTER DIANNA ORTIZ

Sister Dianna Ortiz is an Ursuline Sister from Kentucky. In 1987, she went to Guatemala as a missionary to teach Mayan children. On November 2, 1989, she was abducted from a convent retreat center in Antigua, repeatedly raped and tortured for over twenty-four hours. In testimony given at a mock trial of the Bush administration, Professor Margaret Montoya questioned Sister Ortiz. This is how Sister Ortiz described that day she was abducted:

"I went with one of the sisters to the convent retreat center in Antigua, and I was praying in the garden when two men approached. One of them had a gun and said that ifI did not go with them, that they would hurt the other people who were participating in the retreat. There was an opening in the back wall of the garden, and I was taken through that opening. I was put into a police car, blindfolded and put into or taken to the Politecnica, a large military installation which is located near the United States Embassy."

"They began by questioning me. Every time I answered a question, no matter what answer I gave, they burned my back with a cigarette. I had over one hundred and eleven cigarette burns on my back before it was over. ... After a while, I tried to give whatever answer they wanted to hear, even if it was not true. They showed me a photo of a woman, a woman I had never seen or met, and asked me ifit was me. She looked nothing like me, but no rnatter how I answered, I was burned."

Sister Ortiz was eventually released through the intervention of a mysterious American man whom her torturers called their boss.

Her brave memoir, THE BLINDFOLD's EYES: I\!IyJourney from Torture to Truth tells just how torture affected her life. Not only did Sister Dianna have to face the memories of her own pain, but she had to confront the fact that both the governments of Guatemala and the United States protected those responsible for her kidnapping and torture.

"The damage torture does can never be undone," Sister Dianna writes. "If M. SHANARA GILBERT HUMAN RIGHTS AWARD

I survived for any reason, it is to say that."

In the documentary THE BETRAYAL OF SISTER DIANNA ORTIZ, Latino USA producer Maria Emilia Martin revealed new information, from a former federal agent, about her abduction, including revelations about the U.S. government's involvement with this incident and with repressive Latin American military regimes. The documentary was awarded the Unda-USA Gabriel Award in 2000. SALT is honored to present Sister Dianna Ortiz with the M. Shanara Gilbert Award for Human Rights.

Rather than be defeated or silenced, Sister Dianna Ortiz joined other survivors to start the Torture Abolition and Survivors' Support Coalition International (TASSC) in Washington, D.C. She is currently the Director of T ASSC, whose mission is to end the practice of torture wherever it oc- curs and to empower survivors, their families and communities wherever they are.

Sister Dianna's work with TASSC is dedicated to creating international communities of healing for torture survivors to regain their sense of trust and community. Her strategy focuses on reconnecting survivors to their communities and helping victims find their voices to influence institutions and individuals capable of shaping national and international policies on torture.

Sister Dianna has received many awards, among them an Honorary Degree from the College ofNew Rochelle, an ASHOKA FELLOWSHIP and U.S. Catholic Award for Furthering the Cause ofWomen in the Church. .. M .. SHANARA GILBERT HUMAN RIGHTS AWARD

JENNIFER HARBURY

For Jennifer Harbury fighting injustice has been a way of life. Afi:er graduating from Cornell University, her travel through Africa and Asia fueled her passion to end inhumanity and oppression. By the time she graduated from Harvard Law School, her passion became a commitment to social justice and life as an activist lawyer. She moved to rural Texas close to the Mexican border where she began work at a legal aid office. There she met hundreds of Mayans fleeing from the death squads and massacres in Guatamala.

She decided to go to Guatemala to see for herself

There she met Efrain Bamaca Velasquez, called Everardo by his friends, a leader of the Mayan resistance to the Guatemalan oligarchy's repression of its indigenous people. They fell in love and were married. In 1992, he was captured by the Guatemalan military \vho falsely claimed that he had been killed in combat. Six months later, Ms. Harbury learned that he was, in fact, still alive. The military had faked his death in order to torture him, with medical attendants, to avoid accidentally killing him. Their intention was to break him psychologically. Ms. Harbury tried a variety of tactics to find out what happened to her husband: hunger strikes, demonstrations, and endless petitions to the United Nations, the State Department, the OAS, and, of course, Capitol Hill. These attempts to get information proved fruitless. The same message back: no information about the whereabouts ofEverardo.

After two and a half years, after her longest hunger strike, which lasted 32 days in Guatemala and then another 14-day hunger strike in front of the White House, in 1995, U.S. Rep. Robert Torricelli, who was then on the Intelligence Committee in the House, revealed that Everardo had been captured alive, tortured for two and a half years, and then extra-judicially executed by military intelligence officials in Guatemala.

A U.S. State Department official, Richard Nuccio, leaked the story. The U.S. had known all along v-7hat had happened to Everardo; men on the CIA M. SHANARA GILBERT HUMAN RIGHTS AWARD

payroll had participated in his torture and murder. Jennifer Harbury's book SEARCHING FOR EVERARDO: A Story of Love, War, and the CIA in Guatemala (1997) tells the chilling story of this government's complicity in keeping that Latin American dictatorship in power.

In 2005, Harbury published TRUTH, TORTURE, AND THE AMERICAN WAY, which documents how the CIA uses torture. Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo are nothing new. Not only are these methods cruel, inhumane and against U.S. and international law, but they are also ineffective ways to secure the peace and safety ofAmericans. Torture does not elicit accurate information; it creates desperation and falsehoods. "In the end, our use of violence and repression can only sow seeds of hatred and trauma, which in the end will produce only greater violence against us."

Jennifer Harbury is also the author of BRIDGE TO COURAGE: LIFE STORIES OF GUATEMALAN COMPANEROS & COMPANERAS (1995). In 1995 she received a Letelier-Moffitt Human Rights Award, and in 1997 the Cavallo Award for Moral Courage. She shared this award with Richard Nuccio, the U.S. State Department official who leaked the information about the CIA's cover-up of and complicity in the torture and murder of her husband Everardo.

SALT is honored to award Jennifer Harbury the M. Shanara Gilbert Human Rights Award. GREAT TEACHER AWARD

FRAN ANSLEY

Fran Ansley grew up in Georgia, graduated from Radcliffe College in 1969, and returned to the South to live and work in the early 1970s. She earned her JD. from the University of Tennessee in 1979, her LL.M. from Harvard in 1988, and has taught at the University of Tennessee College of Law since 1988. When not attached to some law school or other, she has worked variously as a community organizer, short-order cook, sewing machine operator, personal injury litigator, oral historian, writer and editor, clerk-typist and full-time parent. She was a contributor to the first edition of "OUR BODIES OURSELVES."

Fran's work as a scholar and activist has focused primarily on issues of race and class, with a special interest in the past and present of the Southeastern United States, as well as its globally-linked future. From a base rooted in East Tennessee, but with on-going travels to Mexico and Latin America, she has been observing and reporting for two decades on deindustrialization, capital flight and now mass labor migration from Mexico and Central America. She is particularly interested in impacts on working people and low-income communities in both the U.S. and Latin America, and about the ways that law is implicated in these global dynamics.

A goal of Fran's is finding creative ways to share her research with non-academic audiences in ways that help them imagine and enact solidarity across differences of race and nation. Her latest effort in this regard has been her work as "principal humanities adviser" to a bi-lingual documentary film by Anne Lewis called "MORRISTOWN: IN THE AIR AND SUN." The film is about economic globalization in Tennessee and Mexico, and it is available for purchase from Appalshop, a documentary and cultural center in the GREATTEACHER AWARD

coal fields of Eastern Kentucky. The film was recently accepted for inclusion in Ambulante, an annual traveling film festival founded by Gael Garcia Bernal and Diego Luna that takes contemporary films to multiple cities in Mexico.

Fran has taught Property, Gratuitous Transfers, Discrimination, Women & the Law, Race & Gender in American Law, Public Interest Law and Legal Process. But the heart of her teaching for the last ten years has been in limited-enrollment courses where students work on collaborative projects with community-based organizations. Many of the organizations that have partnered with her students on these projects -- and who Fran says have thereby played an indispensable role in her students' learning -- appear in ads in tonight's program.

Fran lives in Knoxville with her husband Jim Sessions, and near their daughter Lee. Their son Elisha and his wife Emma Bassmann live in London.

In spring 2007, Fran retired from full-time teaching and is now the University of Tennessee Distinguished Professor of Law Emeritus. She continues to be active in the community and to search for ways that law students can learn about the joys and challenges of working for social justice. PAST RECIPIENTS OF GREAT TEACHER AWARD
