BOISE Craig M. Boise comes to Dineen Hall as the College of Law’s Dean with a successful track record in innovative legal education programs. He brings with him an understanding of the changes taking place in legal education and the legal job market coupled with a bold vision of how the College of Law can strengthen its current position and embark on new initiatives that will set the College apart from other legal learning institutions. A few weeks after his arrival on campus in July, Margaret Harding, Associate Dean for Academic Affairs and Professor of Law, spoke with Dean Boise to learn how his diverse experiences shape his views on contemporary legal education and how he plans to ensure the College of Law is a vibrant institution suited for today’s students and job market.

    Vanderbilt Law School Program in Constitutional Law & Theory and The American Constitution Society Present KEEPING FAITH WITH THE CONSTITUTION IN CHANGING TIMES October 6-7, 2006 Flynn Auditorium Vanderbilt Law School What does it mean to be faithful to the meaning of the Constitution?

How can these approaches be effectively communicated and made part of the public debate about the Constitution?

  • From the Pennsylvania Human Relations Commission to the Courthouse: Does Civil Rights Litigation Remediate Racial Inequality in the Workplace?
    From the Pennsylvania Human Relations Commission to the Courthouse: Does Civil Rights Litigation Remediate Racial Inequality in the Workplace? By David Berney ABSTRACT This dissertation examines the ability of civil rights litigation to redress racial inequality in the workplace. It enters the larger historical debate regarding the effectiveness of civil rights litigation to serve as a force for progressive, socio- political change. To focus my inquiry, I studied the operations of the Pennsylvania Human Relations Commission, an administrative agency charged with enforcing civil rights laws. I also interviewed major participants in the civil rights litigation system, including complainants, attorneys, and judges. I drew upon my own experiences as a practicing civil rights attorney. My investigation employed a range of different methods, including interviews, ethnographic observation, and archival research. This is, to my knowledge, the first full study of the actual operations of an important state civil rights agency in close to fifty years. My dissertation finds that litigation has historically promoted racial equality in employment. But two factors have contributed to limit what lawsuits can realistically accomplish today. First, starting in the 1970s, Republican presidential administrations appointed judges who proved less sympathetic to civil rights claims. The resulting case law made it much harder to bring successful lawsuits. Second, expressions of workplace bias became much more covert over time partly as a consequence of the successes that civil rights litigators achieved. The litigation paradigm is not well designed to tackle such subtleties. Beyond a lack of effectiveness, litigation can also have deleterious effects as it can cause employees to suffer psychic injury on top of whatever racial indignities they have endured.

  • Visiting Judges
    Visiting Judges Marin K. Levy* Despite the fact that Article III judges hold particular seats on particular courts, the federal system rests on judicial interchangeability. Hundreds of judges “visit” other courts each year and collectively help decide thousands of appeals. Anyone from a retired Supreme Court Justice to a judge from the U.S. Court of International Trade to a district judge from out of circuit may come and hear cases on a given court of appeals. Although much has been written about the structure of the federal courts and the nature of Article III judgeships, little attention has been paid to the phenomenon of “sitting by designation”—how it came to be, how it functions today, and what it reveals about the judiciary more broadly. This Article offers an overdue account of visiting judges. It begins by providing an origin story, showing how the current practice stems from two radically different traditions. The first saw judges as fixed geographically, and allowed for visitors only as a stopgap measure when individual judges fell ill or courts fell into arrears with their cases. The second assumed greater fluidity within the courts, requiring Supreme Court Justices to ride circuit—to visit different regions and act as trial and appellate judges—for the first half of the Court’s history. These two traditions together provide the critical context for modern-day visiting. DOI: https://doi.org/10.15779/Z38ZK55M67 Copyright © 2019 California Law Review, Inc. California Law Review, Inc.

PH.D.* INTRODUCTION Historically, school authorities rarely took note of student expression that occurred outside of the school setting, but the times have changed. Technological advances have broadened the scope and reach of student speech in ways that were difficult to imagine twenty years ago. Students are using technology to threaten, bully, and harass not only their classmates, but also school employees. School administrators face enormous pressure to effectively address these issues, but they must also consider the First Amendment rights of students when deciding how and when to discipline them for what they say online while off campus.

  • Third Judicial Circuit Courts and Community Committee 2019 Activity Report
    THIRD JUDICIAL CIRCUIT COURTS AND COMMUNITY COMMITTEE 2019 ACTIVITY REPORT March 24, 2020 Third Judicial Circuit Courts and Community Committee 2019 Activity Report The governing body of the federal courts, the Judicial Conference of the United States, recently “affirmed that civics education is a core component of judicial service; endorsed regularly-held conferences to share and promote best practices of civics education; and encouraged circuits to coordinate and promote education programs.” The Courts and Community Committee for the Third Judicial Circuit is proud to be part of the judiciary’s national initiative to present and promote civics education programs. The Third Circuit Committee had another busy year in 2019. This Activity Report highlights some of the initiatives that our judges and court staff participated in throughout the year as part of the Committee’s ongoing effort to connect our courts to our communities and improve understanding of the role of the judicial system in our democracy. ADULT CIVICS EDUCATION PROGRAM At the behest of Third Circuit Court of Appeals Chief Judge D. Brooks Smith, and after many months of planning, the Committee sponsored a ten-week adult civics education course that was launched in September 2019 at the Community College of Philadelphia. Courts and Community Committee Co-Chairs Midge Rendell and Cynthia Rufe created a ten-class curriculum and recruited federal and state judges, as well as attorneys, to lead and present topics of interest for each fifty-minute session on Monday nights during the fall. Dean Dave Thomas, along with strong administrative support, registered over sixty students for the minimal fee certificate course.
