  • Gertner, Hon. Nancy
    Judicial Profile MELISSA JUAREZ Hon. Nancy Gertner U.S. District Judge, District of Massachusetts FOR MOST OF the early part of the 20th century, the Lower East Side of Manhattan, located in the southeastern part of New York City, was a major immigrant hub where waves of hardworking peo- ple from all over the world came to begin their own versions of the American dream. Among the most notable of the immigrant groups to settle in this community were Eastern Europeans of the Jewish faith, who made the four miles of small, crammed buildings their first homes in the United States. When they arrived at Ellis Island, they had no money and no family roots, and they spoke little to no English. As the new generation of Jewish Ameri- cans started businesses and became more and more successful, the neighborhood flourished, creating the most recognized and vibrant Jewish neighborhood in the United States. In a small part of this tightly knit, mostly low- to middle-class neighborhood, Judge Nancy Gertner of the U.S. District Court for the Dis- trict of Massachusetts was born on May 22, 1946. she always had to struggle to overcome what she Judge Gertner lived in a tenement apartment build- perceived as antiquated gender roles.

Richie of Knoxville, Tennessee, if I might chair a new committee that I was discussing with past president Gerald Goldstein, then of San Antonio, Texas, and now of Aspen, Colorado. Its task would be to represent and counsel criminal defense lawyers who were imperiled with risk of contempt, disqualification, subpoena or bar grievance arising out of their vigorous and ethical defense of their clients. It was to be called the NACDL Lawyers Assistance Strike Force. Alan Ellis The first client of the Strike Force was Nancy Gertner, then a prominent lawyer in Boston. Gertner and her co-counsel had been subpoenaed on the eve of trial in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Hampshire to turn over fee records from certain clients in order to show that if clients could afford top-notch lawyers, they couldn’t possibly be menial workers. (Gertner’s client was a parking attendant but had the funds to retain her.) I flew to New Hampshire and testified on behalf of the NACDL Strike Force, which resulted in the judge's quashing the subpoenas: The use of the phrase chilling affect upon the role of an attorney engaged in criminal defense work by being served a subpoena in circumstances such as this is mild.

  • Neuroscience and Sentencing
    NEUROSCIENCE AND SENTENCING Nancy Gertner* INTRODUCTION This symposium comes at a propitious time for me. I am reviewing the sentences I was obliged to give to hundreds of men—mostly African American men—over the course of a seventeen-year federal judicial career.1 As I have written elsewhere, I believe that 80 percent of the sentences that I imposed were unfair, unjust, and disproportionate.2 Everything that I thought was important—that neuroscientists, for example, have found to be salient in affecting behavior—was irrelevant to the analysis I was supposed to conduct. My goal—for which this symposium plays an important part—is to reevaluate those sentences now under a more rational and humane system, this time at least informed by the insights of science. The question is how to do that: How can neuroscience contribute to the enterprise and what are the pitfalls? This Article represents a few of my preliminary conclusions, but my retrospective analysis is not complete. I approach the issue of neuroscience and sentencing from three vantage points. First, I look at the sentencer’s brain. I ask who the sentencing decision maker is and what cognitive and other pressures the sentencer experiences.3 The insights of neuroscience will be a nullity if they are filtered through a system—like the one I labored under—that makes them irrelevant, ignored, and even trivialized. Likewise, science will be irrelevant if decades of a mandatory sentencing system has affected the cognitive lens through which judges today see the sentencing task, as I believe it has. Nearly thirty years of sentencing by a flawed formula—of avoiding the exercise of meaningful discretion; of major changes in the division of labor on * Senior Lecturer on Law, Harvard Law School; Judge (Ret.), U.S.

  • Feminism, Stalled: Thoughts on the Leaky Pipeline
    FEMINISM, STALLED: THOUGHTS ON THE LEAKY PIPELINE Judge Nancy Gertner (Ret.) 2012 MICH. ST. L. REV. 1473 In my last year on the bench, I had two extraordinary women law clerks. They were smart, interesting, and dogged individualists, to boot. One had been a student in my sentencing class at Yale Law School, where I taught for ten years while I was a district court judge. After graduation and before clerking for me, she went to Liberia to write a manual for sexual assault cases and help set up specialized gender violence courts. The condi­ tions were challenging, not to mention extremely dangerous, and made even more difficult when she found out that she was pregnant with her first child. The second woman was a Stanford Law School graduate who was commit­ ted to working on fair housing issues as she had before and during law school, no matter how many more lucrative and high status jobs she could have gotten given her stellar academic record. One day, while the three of us were en route to my courtroom, I no­ ticed that they were dressed the same-black suits, black skirts, plain stock­ ings, white shirts, pumps, little jewelry. To me, they looked like undertak­ ers-while I, the judge, over thirty years older, was resplendent in red, my favorite color. I asked why and they sent me to a website to which women law students across the country were directed. 1 The website described the importance of "sticking to a dress code" and the "appropriate attire for women" in extraordinary detail down to the design and heel for the shoes.

  • 74 Portraits Hang in the Halls of YLS. Only 6 Feature Women. Proudly
    proudly presents . the PORTRAITS PROJECT 74 portraits hang in the halls of YLS. Only 6 feature women. This guide aims to celebrate the six remarkable alumnae whose portraits grace the walls of the Law School, to draw attention to the unequal visual representation of women, to describe the process by which portraits are created, and to highlight women whose accomplishments might merit a portrait. We hope this resource inspires interested students and alumni to change the disparate visual representation that currently persists in the halls of YLS. THE WOMEN IN THE PORTRAITS Carolyn Agger (LL.B. 1938) Portrait Painted in 1949; Located in the Alumni Reading Room. Carolyn Agger was an influential tax lawyer in Washington, D.C. at a time when extremely few women were lawyers. She graduated from Barnard College in 1931 and earned a master’s degree in economics from the University of Wisconsin in 1932 before starting her career in Washington at various New Deal agencies. Agger attended Yale Law School at the suggestion of her husband, Supreme Court Justice Abe Fortas, who was a professor there. After graduating from Yale Law School in 1938, Agger worked in government at the National Labor Relations Board, the Senate subcommittee on education and labor, and the tax division of the Justice Department, as well as in private practice at Lord, Day & Lord. She later became a partner and one of the top tax lawyers in D.C. at Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison. In 1960, Agger led an exodus of attorneys from Paul, Weiss to Arnold, Fortas & Porter, where she was a senior partner and head of the tax practice.
