PROGRAM SCHEDULE 10:30 am – 12:15 pm SECTION ON EAST ASIAN LAW & SOCIETY Nassau East, Second Floor, New York Hilton Midtown Research in Progress on East Asian Law and Society Moderator: Robert B. Leflar, University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, Robert A. Leflar Law Center Speakers from a Call for Papers: Margaret Boittin, Osgoode Hall Law School York University, Toronto, Ontario, Canada Yedan Li, PhD Research Fellow, Universiteit van Amsterdam Facultiet der Rechtsgeleerdheid, Amsterdam, Netherlands Craig Martin, Washburn University School of Law, Amsterdam, Netherlands Ryan Mitchell, PhD in Law Candidate, Yale Law School Speakers were selected from a Call for Papers due September 2015. The four scholars selected will present their papers and be honored at this session. The members of the selection committee were Rob Leflar (Arkansas, chair), Don Clarke (George Washington), Eric Feldman (Penn), and Rachel Stern (Berkeley). Papers have received offers for publication in the Asian Journal of Law and Society (vol. 3, no. 2 in fall 2016) 10:30 am – 12:15 pm SECTION ON LEGAL WRITING, REASONING AND RESEARCH Beekman Parlor, Second Floor, New York Hilton Midtown Reimagining the Curriculum to Address Student Needs and Bench and Bar Demands and (3) changes in traditional assignments comport with evolving ABA standards. Specifically, panelists will propose the following: Authors of the book “The New 1L” will reimagine how law schools teach lawyering skills in the 1L curriculum. Can we teach 1Ls to act and think like lawyers using real clients and current issues? How should the curriculum cover critical lawyering skills beyond memos and briefs? A panelist suggests that LRW professors design frequent, shorter assignments, drawing support from cognitive science and changes in law practice. “Let’s Not Reimagine Too Much!” Another panelist advocates that the appellate-brief assignment is valuable if presented with substantive learning experiences. A panelist will discuss how writing and other professional skills can be integrated into what are traditionally regards as ‘doctrinal’ courses. No law firm has separate doctrinal and skills departments. He will address “Bridging the Divide” with problem-solving and client-centered exercises, and will draw upon examples from First Amendment, criminal law, and civil rights classes. 10:30 am – 12:15 pm SECTION ON MINORITY GROUPS, CO-SPONSORED BY EMPLOYMENT DISCRIMINATION LAW AND WOMEN IN LEGAL EDUCATION Sutton North, Second Floor, New York Hilton Midtown From Selma to Ferguson: Reflections on Police, Policing, and Protests Speakers: Paul Butler, Georgetown University Law Center James Forman, Jr., Yale Law School Michele Goodwin, University of California, Irvine School of Law Janai S. Nelson, Associate Director-Counsel, NAACP Legal Defense Fund, Inc., Queens, NY Tom Tyler, Yale Law School Sunday, January 10 Moderator: Melissa H. Weresh, Drake University Law School Speakers: Andrew Carter, Arizona State University Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law Anne Ralph, The Ohio State University, Michael E. Moritz College of Law Sara Rankin, Seattle University School of Law Lawrence E. Rosenthal, Chapman University Dale E. Fowler School of Law Nantiya Ruan, University of Denver Sturm College of Law This panel will cover topics stemming from changes in teaching loads and law-practice demands. Requiring the appellate brief in the first year of law school has been a practice for decades. Challenging this requirement, panelists will explore whether (1) shorter motion briefs would better prepare students for litigation practice; (2) requiring transactional skills is appropriate when many graduates land in corporate practice; Over the last several years, fatal shootings and extreme bodily force exacted on both men and women of color at the hands of police have captured international attention and have raised serious questions about the fractured relationship between the police and the communities that they serve. Indeed, in one of his last acts as The United States Attorney General, Eric Holder, in March 2015, selected six American cities to serve as pilot sites for a national initiative on restoring relationships between law enforcement and citizens. Recent events around the nation have crystallized the need for governmental intervention as it pertains to policing practices within communities of color. This panel will offer a round table exploring these issues as well as related civil and human rights concerns that have (re)surfaced from both historic and contemporary perspectives. Papers from the program will be published in Yale Law Forum. Business meeting at program conclusion. 58
