We offer very special thanks to the Presenting Sponsor of tonight’s Fellows Awards Banquet, KPMG. I would also like to thank the San Diego Lawyers Club and Justice Joan Irion for arranging donation of this evening’s table centerpieces to the YWCA of San Diego County’s domestic violence shelter. Given the challenges facing our profession, our nation, and our global society, your role as a Fellow has never been more important. Through significant support of The American Bar Foundation’s groundbreaking research, you foster important work ranging from insights into how real juries work to societal costs of incarceration; from the changing nature of legal careers to money laundering and the financing of terrorism. It is only with your support that the ABF is able to undertake this kind of empirical, independent research that truly advances justice and the rule of law by providing society an informed understanding of the law. You honor the Foundation by your generosity. Please enjoy and celebrate our fellowship tonight, and accept our deep gratitude for all that you do. With warmest regards, HON. CARA LEE T. NEVILLE Chair of The Fellows 60th Annual Awards Banquet · 3 Welcome! The SEATTLE SYMPHONY congratulates This annual gathering is my favorite event of the bar year. It’s always an occasion of Llewelyn G. Pritchard, Esq. fellowship, laughter, and celebration of extraordinary achievements by extraordinary people. Tonight’s award winners take their deserving place alongside the storied group we Chair, Lifetime Directors, Seattle Symphony have honored over the past six decades. I look forward to hearing about—and from—each of this year’s cohort of honorees and to joining all of you in saluting their work. It’s wonderful to be in your company tonight. ABF Fellows are special people, exceptional people. That claim may sound boastful, coming as it does from a confirmed Fellow. But it’s true. Fellows are distinctive. Among the proudest distinctions, shared by Fellows young and old, is our fealty to an old-school value that has lost vitality in many precincts of the profession. I have in mind the noble ideal captured in the preamble of the ABA’s Model Code of Professional Conduct, which calls on every lawyer to embrace the role of “public citizen.” In that role, the Code tells us, lawyers should recognize their place in a “learned profession” whose members “cultivate knowledge of the law beyond its use for clients and employ that knowledge in reform of the law....” Others may dismiss this sentiment as quaint and archaic, but Fellows honor it as noble. We embrace it. And by selflessly supporting the ABF’s trailblazing research, Fellows indeed cultivate knowledge about law and serve as agents for legal reform. That gives real meaning to the lawyers’ role as public citizen. So, yes, Fellows are special. I think of it as Fellows exceptionalism, and I congratulate every one of you for it. It is my great honor, on behalf of the ABF Board of Directors, to welcome you, my fellow Fellows, public citizens one and all, to this our 60th Annual Awards Banquet. Enjoy the evening! DAVE COLLINS President, American Bar Foundation as the ABF 2016 Fellows Award Recipient for OUTSTANDING SERVICE 4 · The Fellows of the American Bar Foundation UMLS ABF Banquet 1_2Horiz Press.pdf 9 1/7/16 2:30 PM Welcome! On behalf of the research faculty and administrative staff of the American Bar Foundation (ABF), it is my distinct honor to welcome you to the 60th annual Fellows Award Banquet. As you know, the Fellows of the American Bar Foundation represent the leading members of our legal profession, and as a group they provide vital assistance to the ABF. Indeed, much of the innovative empirical and interdisciplinary research conducted by the ABF would not be possible without the generous support of the ABF Fellows. We are also grateful to KPMG for their sponsorship of this evening’s event, and to the volunteer leadership of the Fellows for all their hard work and guidance: Hon. Cara Lee Neville (Ret.), Mike Byowitz, Rew Goodenow, and Kathleen Hopkins. Thanks to all. Tonight, we have the privilege of celebrating the many achievements of this year’s award winners. Llewelyn G. Pritchard is a long-time partner in the Seattle-based firm of Helsell Fetterman. He has tirelessly devoted his pro bono efforts to working with the ABA in securing access to justice for immigrants, refugees, and other members of our society. Professor Kimberlé W. Crenshaw, who teaches both at Columbia and UCLA law schools, is a pioneer in the field of law and critical race theory. As a leading public intellectual, she has been at the forefront of cutting-edge scholarship on Civil Rights, Black feminist legal theory, and race, racism and the law. The Fellows State Co-Chairs of Minnesota, Barbara J. Gislason and the Honorable John R. Tunheim, exemplify the core values and ideals of the ABF Fellows. Barbara Gislason has been a longtime advocate for animal rights both in the ABA and throughout her career. She is founding chair of the Minnesota State Bar Association’s Animal Law Section, and the MSBA’s Art & Entertainment Law Section, as well as an active member of the ABA’s Tort Trial & Insurance Practice Section. The Honorable John R. Tunheim is Chief U.S. District Judge for the District of Minnesota. Before his appointment to the bench, he was Minnesota Chief Deputy Attorney General, and previously the state’s Solicitor General. As a long-time ABA member, Judge Tunheim has actively served the ABA in various capacities, including the Rule of Law Initiative (ROLI), the Judicial Division, and the Criminal Justice Section. Together, Judge Tunheim and Barbara Gislason have inspired and invigorated the Minnesota ABF Fellows to be among the most active in the country. This year we are also honoring Selma Moidel Smith with our inaugural Life Fellow Achievement Award. A lawyer and music composer, she has been throughout her career and life a leader in advancing the careers of women lawyers. Among her many accomplishments, she has held prominent positions in the International Federation of Women Lawyers, the National Association of Women Lawyers, and she has served twice as president of the Women Lawyers Association of Los Angeles. Please join me in congratulating and celebrating this year’s award winners!

  • The Authority of International Courts in a Complex World a Book Prospectus
    The Authority of International Courts in a Complex World A book prospectus Karen J. Alter, Laurence R. Helfer and Mikael R. Madsen eds. In 2013, iCourts, a Center of Excellence for International Courts, at the University of Copenhagen launched an interdisciplinary study of how political and social contexts shape the authority of international courts (ICs). The result of our efforts is a unique analysis of how different ICs operate in a wide range of contexts. We propose to expand this project into a book, inviting experts on the authority and legitimacy of international institutions to consider the complex reality that our symposium reveals. The initial project, based on two workshops under the editorial leadership of Karen Alter, Larry Helfer and Mikael Madsen, will result in a special edition of the peer-reviewed journal Law and Contemporary Problems, to be published in the summer of 2015. At the first workshop, symposium participants debated how various contextual factors affected the operation of different ICs and identified a common object to study: the “varied authority” of international adjudicators. The editors then developed a framework to conceptualize and measure IC authority and a list of contextual factors that plausibly explain why similarly designed ICs have attained different levels of political and legal influence. A second workshop discussed the framework and nine papers by contributors who applied to the framework to one or more judicial institutions about which they have extensive empirical knowledge. The papers were revised in light of extensive feedback, resulting in a special issue that poses serious questions about the problems, prospects and achievements of ICs around the world.

The students were selected among a highly competitive group of applicants for their excellent work throughout their current undergraduate careers. The 2021 Fellows are Natasha Chaiyarat, Laura Fagbemi, Connor Herbert, Nicole Maria Mateo, and Sasha Matsuki. Also known as the Montgomery Summer Research Diversity Fellowship Program, the SURF program offers undergraduate students from underrepresented groups a hands- on learning experience in the field of law and social science research. Over the course of eight weeks, each fellow works closely with an ABF Research Professor as a research assistant, affording them the opportunity to be mentored by and take part in sociolegal research with experienced scholars. Fellows also learn about other empirical and interdisciplinary sociolegal research by joining ABF faculty, program alumni, and legal professionals in a series of seminars and forums. Due to the ongoing pandemic, the 2021 program will once again be virtual this year. The SURF program is generously supported by the Kenneth & Harle Montgomery Foundation, the Law School Admissions Council (LSAC), Kirkland & Ellis, LLP, Banner Witcoff, Solon E. Summerfield Foundation, and AT&T. “We are pleased to introduce our next group of outstanding undergraduate fellows to the ABF community,” said Ajay K.

  • ·Rhe AMERICAN BAR FOUNDA'"Fion
    ·rHE AMERICAN BAR FOUNDA'"fION ANNUAL REPORT 1958 .. 1959 AMERICAN BAR CENTER 1155 EAST 60TH STREET CHICAGO, ILLINOIS ONE OF THE BOOKS DISPLAYED on the front cover, Cowell' s The Interpreter ( 1607), was recently presented to the American Bar Foundation by Morris B. Mitchell of Minneapolis, a Fellow of the American Bar Foundation, and Mrs. Mitchell. Mr. and Mrs. Mitchell also gave the Foun­ dation a specially designed case in which to display this and other rare volwnes which might be added later to the col­ lection of the Cromwell Library. The other book, Sources of Our Liberties, is the first major publication of the American :Sar Foundation resulting from one of its approved legal research projects. It was released in August 1959. Its publication is an important event that should be recorded in these annual reports which recount the history and progress of the American Bar Foundation. Since it is the first major work written and distributed by the Foundation, the 1958-1959 year is particularly significant. The two books were selected to be represented on the cover with at least two things in mind. As a legal research organization, the Foundation will do its utmost to maintain a sound historical approach in conducting projects which it undertakes. Special emphasis will be placed on the actual practice of members of our profession and the efforts of the organized bar and other groups within the profession who are working to improve the administration of justice in all the recognized living systems of law. The attainment of these broad objectives, however, would not be possible without the professional and moral support and the financial assistance of The Fellows of the American Bar Foundation.
