David Cole of the Georgetown Law Center, co-recipient of this year's Human Rights Award, embodies SALT's ideal of harnessing legal scholarship in the service of social justice. His scholarship, litigation and engagement as an activist public intellectual, combine to teach his students, shape the law and inspire a hope for justice in oppressed communities. Anthony Lewis has called David "one of the country's great legal voices for civil liberties today." David's prolific scholarship has been influential far beyond legal academia, helping to frame two of the most timely legal public policy debates of the last decade. His first book No Equal Justice: Race and Class in the American Criminal Justice System, appeared in 1999 in the midst of the most intense public dialogue on racial profiling in a quarter century in the aftermath of the killing of Amadou Diallo. David's latest book, Enemy Aliens, is the essential work analyzing the array of compelling national security legal issues in the aftermath of 9/11. The book details the historic lessons about mistakes and dangers when U.S. law shortchanges fairness in dealing with national crisis, and analyzes constitutional principles and the legal issues presented by the War on Terrorism. David's litigation has affected key areas of the social justice landscape of today's courts. In the original NOWv. Terry, David crafted and won a vital doctrine for protection of a woman's constitutional right to reproductive privacy. His prolific First Amendment and civil liberties litigation has ranged from protecting political expression in Texas v. Johnson and United States v. Eichman, the flag burning cases, to the most complex contemporary issues of association and expression. Even before 9/11, he represented 13 foreign nationals who the government sought to use secret evidence to detain or deport on broad allegations of affiliation with terrorist groups. All 13 were eventually freed or granted the relief they requested, often after successful constitutional challenges. David's 9/11 litigation has been in the forefront of the major legal issues of the post-9/11 era. He brought the first successful lawsuit to challenge the constitutionality of the USA , Humanitarian Law Project v. Ashcroft; he and the Center for Constitutional Rights are litigating the first legal challenge to rendition for torture in the case of . And in another case he and CCR are challenging the round-up of hundreds of foreign nationals in the immediate aftermath of 9/11, none of whom turned out to have any ties to terrorism, but many of whom were arrested without charges, denied access to counsel, and detained long after their immigration cases were resolved. David's concern for the law's diminished legal protections for immigrants has been ever-present in his scholarship, litigation and activities before Congress and the media. With CCR, he challenged the legality of closed immigration proceedings after 9/11, on First Amendment grounds on behalf of news organizations in New Jersey, and on due process grounds on behalf of a detained immigrant. And David's representation of a group of Palestinian immigrants in Los Angeles for over 18 years, which began with charges of communist affiliation under the McCarran-Walter Act in 1987, and now includes equally sweeping charges of membership in a terrorist group under the REAL ID Act of 2005, has been a contemporary legal epic, at each tum posing the question to our legal system of whether it is willing to deny fairness and due process to the most vulnerable among us, in the name of expediency in a time of crisis. David began his legal career at the Center for Constitutional Rights in New York, where he remains a Volunteer Staff Attorney and is a member of its board. He is the legal affairs correspondent for the Nation magazine, and a commentator on National Public Radio. A graduate of and Yale Law School, he clerked for Judge Arlin Adams on the Third Circuit. No Equal Justice, David's first book, was named Best Non-Fiction Book of 1999 by the Boston Book Review and best book on an issue of national policy by the American Political Science Association. Enemy Aliens won the American Book Award and the Hefner First Amendment Prize, and none other than former CIA director James Woolsey has called it "the essential book in the field." David lives in Washington D.C. with his wife, constitutional litigator and law professor Nina Pillard, and their children Aidan and Sarah. Center for Constitutional Rights

centerforconstitutionalright

The Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR), a public interest law firm and education organization born out of the grassroots civil rights movement of the 1960's South, is the co-recipient of SALT's Human Rights Award. For over 39 years, CCR staff and volunteer attorneys have created cutting edge civil and human rights legal doctrine, advancing guarantees of the Constitution and the principles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The creation of CCR as a permanent social justice law center was inspired by experiences of its founders in the Jim Crow South, many as part of the National Guild's office in Jackson, Mississippi which represented Freedom Riders and voter registration efforts of the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party. After founder Morton Stavis organized an historic challenge to the seating of the segregated Mississippi Congressional delegation in 1965, he, Arthur Kinoy, and Ben Smith created a center in 1966 which envisioned itself as a legal resource for the era's social justice movements and advocates, and as a training incubator for attorneys committed to working in oppressed communities. These attorneys were trained to develop high-impact litigation which consciously combined organizing and public education as part of legal representation. Nearly forty years later, the organization they founded has a leading role defending rights in the 21st century's legal environment of secret prisons, indeterminate detention without trial and mass round-ups of immigrants. CCR's victory in Rasul v. Bush, last year's Supreme Court ruling that detainees held for indeterminate periods without charges or trials by the military at Guantanamo were entitled to petition courts for redress, was called "the most important civil liberties case in half a century" in . Rasul is only the latest in decades of groundbreaking legal rulings. Some include Monell v. Department of Social Services (establishing that victims of government misconduct may sue municipalities under Section 1983); Washington v. Wanrow (first successful assertion of a battered women's right to self-defense against her tormentor in a criminal proceeding); key precedents for reproductive rights, including the original NOW v. Terry (created "buffer zone" around abortion clinics so women's constitutional right to privacy and choice would not be abridged.) This year marked the 25th anniversary of the 2nd Circuit's decision in Filartiga v. Pena- Irala, which opened the doors of U.S. courthouses to victims of human rights abuses committed anywhere in the world. Dean Harold Koh of Yale Law School has called Filartiga the "Brown v. Board of Education of international human rights." CCR's current work includes the coordination and training of hundreds of volunteer attorneys who have filed habeas corpus petitions on behalf of detainees at Guantanamo; two suits and an education campaign on behalf of families of prison inmates charged exorbitant prices for collect calls from prison under exclusive services contracts correctional authorities have with the MCI telecommunications company; the first lawsuit arising from United States rendition of a foreign national to a third country where he was unlawfully held and tortured; a class action on behalf of thousands of Arab and Muslim men arrested in the aftermath of 9/11, held without charges, none of whom have any ties to terrorism. A number of CCR staff have become distinguished law teachers and SALT activists, including David Cole (Georgetown), Rhonda Copelon (CUNY), Frank Deale (CUNY), Elizabeth Schneider (Brooklyn), Anne Simon (Boalt Hall), Beth Stephens (Rutgers-Camden) and Ellen Yaroshefsky (Cardozo). Other CCR SALT members include former CCR President Ellen Chapnick, Dean for Public Interest Initiatives at Columbia, board members Karima Bennoune and Jules. Lobel, who teach at Rutgers and Pittsburgh respectively, and Franklin Siegel who is an adjunct at CUNY. Eric Yamamoto

Eric Yamamoto is an internationally renowned expert on some of the most pressing legal and moral issues of our time, addressing issues of racism and reconciliation with originality and genuine profundity. He is also a devoted seeker after justice. His profound understanding of how to act equitably-- from the microscopic to the telescopic level as well as what falls in between-helps to explain why he seems to embody the best we have in law and in law teaching. Eric's rare combination of quiet yet sustained passion, broad knowledge, and real wisdom in the pursuit of social justice help make him a remarkable standout as a teacher. Eric is even able to make courses like Civil Procedure and Legal Methods come alive. He is somehow uniquely able to convey the importance of rules along with a deep sense of the underlying structure and context. He does this, in fact, in ways that are virtually unheard of for these subjects throughout legal education. Eric is also an extraordinarily effective and creative teacher in courses more directly tied to his outstanding scholarship such as Advanced Civil Procedure, Asian Americans in the United States, and Race, Culture, and the Law. The informal word among the students at the William S. Richardson School of Law-- as well as their formal evaluations--underscores the idea that Professor Yamamoto is a truly extraordinary teacher. Indeed, his students tend to become quite devoted to him and each year a number of them volunteer to help him in his important pro bono work. Eric continues to teach them as they work together, and he is the kind of mentor whose teaching connection to his former students stretches on without a break throughout their careers. Students seek him out and regard him as a role model, particularly as they begin to shape their own careers in social justice work. But Eric readily provides an authentic ear, strategic advice, and quiet encouragement to students of all sorts. Eric's colleagues repeatedly pick up specific, and very helpful, teaching suggestions by listening to him talk about teaching and by watching him in action. He is a marvelous, inspiring teacher with the rare ability to be able to think through and to convey quietly why his teaching works. And work it certainly does! For example, a member of the accreditation team that visited the William S. Richardson School of Law in 2003 insisted that in his entire career -- including service on dozens of law school accreditation teams -- he simply had never seen a class as good as Eric's Civil Procedure class that he visited, unannounced, during the accreditation week. The faculty and students at the Law School have recognized him as the Outstanding Professor of Law four times. Eric's reputation as a superb teacher also earned him the University of Hawaii's 2005 Regents' Medal for Teaching Excellence. Outside the classroom, Eric also contributes invaluably to the Law School community, to Hawai'i, and to the world far beyond the Hawaiian islands. As a third generation Asian-American born and raised in Hawai'i, Eric has a quiet passion for exploring and revealing social and racial injustices in the Asian- American and Native Hawaiian communities. The amount of pro bono legal work he has performed without fanfare is remarkable. Eric served as co-counsel, for example, in successfully reopening the infamous World War II internment case, Korematsu v. U.S., which led to reparations. Indeed for his efforts in this case, Eric was awarded the 1999 Justice Award by the National Japanese American Historical Society and the 1994 Korematsu Civil Rights Award. In 2003, he received the Consumer Lawyers of Hawaii's Patsy Mink Justice Award. Eric also represented Manuel Fragante in his appeal to the United States Supreme Court on a Filipino accent discrimination claim under Title VII of the federal Civil Rights Act. Eric also served as counsel in a class action of Native Hawaiian Homelands claimants in a breach of trust class action that resulted in a $600 million settlement. Most recently, he co-authored amicus briefs to the United States Supreme Court in the Grutter v. Michigan affirmative action case and the Rasul v. Bush Guantanamo Bay mass detention case. Along with his extensive pro bono work, Eric is involved in numerous community activities. To name a few: he has served on the Board of Directors of SALT and of the Native Hawaiian Legal Corporation, and he was the Senior Legal Advisor for the Native Hawaiian Advisory Council. He is a founder and current Board member of the Equal Justice Society, helping to raise several million dollars to promote equality initiatives in Hawai'i and across the country. He is also developing a pilot project for the Equal Justice Society to train law students and recent graduates in working with legal scholars, social scientists and journalists to address pressing civil and human rights issues in Hawai'i and the United States. Eric helped to organize the Patsy Mink Fellowship that provides one William S. Richardson School of Law student each year the opportunity to work with a Senator or Representative from Hawai'i in Washington, D.C. Eric also has served on the Legal Aid Society of Hawai'i Board of Directors and on the Editorial Board of the Journal of Legal Education. He was counsel to the Hawai'i Judiciary's Civil Rules Committee and he has done numerous presentations for legal and general audiences in Hawai'i on issues of procedural reform, national security, minority rights, and civil liberties. Eric also regularly speaks throughout the United States and internationally on issues of racial reconciliation, reparations, national security and civil liberties. Eric's prolific scholarship also reflects his realistic idealism. He has produced a multitude of law review articles, often truly cutting-edge and always interesting and significant. His book, Interracial Justice: Conflict and Reconciliation in Post-Civil Rights America, explores the relationship between communities of color through race history, legal theory, social psychology, theology, and concrete stories. This book focused on the conflict that exists in multiracial America but also on the healing that can be achieved through the use of justice and the pursuit of pono. Selected as one of ten best books published in the nation, Interracial Justice also was awarded the 2000 Gustavus Myers Outstanding Books Award. Eric also recently co-authored Race, Rights and Reparation: Law and the Japanese American Internment, which is receiving a great deal of national attention in light of its relevance to the contemporary tension between national security and civil liberties in America. Eric combines a keen sense of his own community with a strikingly effective commitment to make the world a more just place for those most vulnerable. His unceasing and quietly effective quest for social justice, his wisdom, and his extraordinary concern for his students are major reasons that Eric Yamamoto is truly a model teacher.
