Rebecca L. Sandefur has been assistant professor of sociology at Stanford University since receiving her PhD in sociology from the University of Chicago in 2001. Her work is at the intersection of the sociology of law and the study of inequality. During her year at the Center, Professor Sandefur will be at work on two projects, a small one on professional inequality and a larger project on social class and civil justice.

The first project grows out of her work, with the Chicago Lawyers Project, on inequality within the American legal profession. Beginning in the early 1970s, wage inequality in many occupations, including professions such as law, began to increase. Her new project on professional inequality investigates the sources of rising inequality in professionals' wages, looking especially at the role of the legal regulation of professional services markets (e.g., non-competition clauses, prohibitions on advertising) and demographic change, particularly change in the age and gender composition of professional occupations.

Her second project examines the role of the civil justice system in social class stratification. When experiencing most kinds of justiciable events -- events that fall within the purview of civil law, but that people may never think of as legal, or even as problematic at all -- poor and working class households are less likely than middle and upper-middle class households to use the civil justice system. The most common responses of middle and upper-middle class households involve the legal system in some way, while the most common response of poor and working class households is to take no action at all. Sandefur seeks not only to contribute to long-standing debates about why social class affects how people respond to commonly experienced, potentially highly consequential problems, but to understand the consequences of those responses for the people that pursue them. Professor Sandefur will present a talk in the Center's Bag Lunch Speaker Series on January 24th, 2006. Professor Sandefur's office is on the 2nd floor of the Center/JSP building, tel. 642-4038, email sandefur@stanford.edu .

She received a B.A., M.S., and Ph.D. from University of California, Santa Cruz in Social Psychology and an M.A. from Stanford University in Communication. Her research falls into two distinct but related categories. First, she has collaborated with Craig Haney on a line of experimental research that examines the social and psychological dynamics of capital jury decision-making as it is shaped by contemporary forms of racism. Her second line of research examines penal/legal discourse and practices in a number of settings, especially focusing on the social and cultural dynamics of contemporary punishment. Much of this work seeks to empirically examine the extent to which prevailing theories of state punishment explain current penal and legal practices.

While visiting at the Center, Professor Lynch will work on writing a book length manuscript, tentatively entitled "The making of a post-rehabilitative penal regime: A case study of Arizona 1960-present." This project examines the rapid and somewhat dramatic development of Arizona’s correctional system, as it is imbedded in the recent social, cultural, and political history of the state. The study is also grounded in a broader research question that asks: What happens when a state penal system has in essence been born in the post-rehabilitative age of penal crisis? The overriding goal of this project is to try to tease out the relative influences that shaped the way this penal system has developed in an era of broader penal transformation: To what extent and in what ways did local culture, norms, and historical precedents influence the particular penal style and approach they have taken? How influential was the larger paradigm shift in penality in terms of how this department decided to approach the correctional task? Mona will present a talk in our Bag Lunch Series on this project on Nov. 15.

Tina Stevens holds a PhD from UC Berkeley in US History and a masters degree in Jurisprudence and Social Policy with a focus on law and medicine. She lectures in US history at San Francisco State University and has taught courses in Bioethics and Society and UC Berkeley. Her publications, including her book, Bioethics in America: Origins and Cultural Politics (Johns Hopkins University Press, 2000), trace the rise of bioethics as a postwar social institution. Her current research focuses on two legal developments that helped give rise to the biotech industry: the Bayh-Dole Act, which allowed universities and non-profit organizations to patent the results of federally funded biotechnological research, and the US Supreme Court case, Diamond vs. Chakrabarty, which permitted the patenting of “human-made” organisms by deeming such organisms to be, merely, “compositions of matter.” While visiting at the Center, she also hopes to analyze and write on the social implications and historical roots of California’s Proposition 71, the November 2004 initiative that seeks $3 billion to publicly finance stem cell research.

Ira Mark Ellman is a legal scholar whose principal work has been in family law. Professor and Willard H. Pedrick Distinguished Research Scholar at Arizona State University, he received his law degree from Berkeley in 1973. Before law school he did graduate work in experimental child psychology at the University of Illinois. He was the Chief Reporter and the Justice Ammi Cutter Reporter for the Principles of the Law of Family Dissolution, a project of the American Law Institute completed over a ten-year period. The 1200 page volume was published in May of 2002. The Fourth Edition of his widely-used Family Law casebook will appear in October of 2004. Professor Ellman’s articles have frequently drawn upon social science research. His recent articles include an empirical study of the effects on divorced children of their parents’ post-divorce relocation to different cities, jointly authored with two social psychologists, and an examination of the economic analysis employed by the consultants who advise most states in the periodic revisions of their child support guidelines. The relocation study drew considerable attention in the press both here and abroad, and a preliminary report on the child support study prompted the creation of a special committee in Arizona to reconsider that state’s approach to its child support guidelines. Professor Ellman’s current projects include an empirical study with a social psychologist into the fairness principles that people implicitly employ in making judgments about the appropriate level of child support payments, and a book for Oxford University Press that examines the reasons why the creation of appropriate family law rules poses special challenges for policymakers.

Professor Ellman clerked for Justice William O. Douglas of the United States Supreme Court, was a legislative aide to Senator Adlai Stevenson III, practiced law in San Francisco, and drafted a nonprofit corporations code for the for the state of California. He was a founding member of the Bioethics Committee of the Good Samaritan Medical Center in Phoenix, and has also published in bioethics and health care law.

Ira will be presenting a talk in our Bag Lunch Speaker Series on Sept. 20 entitled “Fudging Failure: The Economic Analysis Used to Construct Child Support Guidelines.”

Suzan Verberk continues as a visiting scholar for the Fall Semester 2004. She studied Political Science and Public Administration at the Free University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands, and was the recipient of the National Award of the ‘Dutch Association for Public Administration’ for her master’s thesis on administrative corruption, democracy and democratization. Following her undergraduate studies she was a scientific researcher at the department of Political Science and Public Administration of the Free University, participating in the research program on ‘Ethics and public behavior’. Since 1999 she has been working as a researcher and project manager in commercial public policy research. Her fields of expertise are administration of justice, law enforcement and public sector ethics. During her work in the private sector she has continued to hold close ties with the academic world.

Suzan Verberk is continuing with her study of the projects initiated under the California Judicial Council’s Court and Community Collaboration Program. To promote public trust and confidence, this program encourages courts to become more responsive to community concerns and educate the public about the role and function of the court system. Verberk’s research focuses on the extent to which the program’s objectives are met and on the factors contributing to or hampering its success. She is paying special attention to ethical dilemmas confronting judges as a result of increased community involvement, translating the research results to the Dutch situation. Like in California, the Dutch judiciary feels the need for increased responsiveness to the public. There is much to be learned from the experiences with the Court Community Collaboration Program - notwithstanding the many differences between the Californian and Dutch judicial system.. The research is conducted in collaboration with Prof. Dr. Nick Huls from the Erasmus University Rotterdam and Leiden University in the Netherlands.

He wrote Legal Problems and Improvement of Obtaining Evidence by the Police of an Unlawful Assembly and Demonstration, Research Institute of Police Science in Korean National Police Agency, 2002, "Legal Basis and Problem of Fingerprinting a Criminal Suspect in the Criminal Investigation", 52 Korean Criminological Review 63(2002), "Public Relations of the Police and the Korean Criminal Law", 21 Journal of Korean Police University 163(2001), etc. He recently directed a large scale study of comparative investigation procedure, the results of which will be published in Parkyoungsa. He established the Korean Police Law Association for the purpose of bringing together young legal scholars and police officers to study legal problems of the police and human rights.

During his visit (until August, 2004), Professor Mun will continue work on his book on the warrant-requirement doctrine, particularly comparing the American warrant system and the Korean one in view of the legal nature of the arrest warrant.

Annette Nierobisz completed her doctoral studies in the Department of Sociology at the University of Toronto in March 2001 and is currently an assistant professor in the Department of Sociology and Anthropology at Carleton College. Annette's research broadly explores legal reactions to workplace issues.

As a graduate student Annette studied the resolution of sexual harassment complaints lodged with the Canadian Human Rights Commission, a "court of last resort" for sexual harassment cases arising in federal workplaces. One dimension of this research examines the impact of legal, extra-legal, and organizational characteristics on the decisions reached by the Commission. A recent article based on this research appears in Social Problems (volume 48, p. 605-623).

In her more recent research, Annette examines the interconnection of economic forces, organizational logics, and legal decisions and discourses. She is currently studying this through analysis of judicial decisions on Canadian wrongful dismissal cases. The cases studied were heard to judgment over a 28-year period (1970-1997) that encompasses the emergence of the "new economy" and a revision of the traditional employment contract. Annette specifically studies how judges navigate the new employment context using a body of law that was developed in a distinctly different economic era with a different set of employment expectations and obligations.

At the Center Annette will be completing two projects. A first project examines the changing impact of legally relevant criteria in wrongful dismissal cases through a period that encompasses the development, implementation, and expansion of downsizing as a corporate logic. A second project examines changing business discourse in newspaper accounts to assess corresponding changes in the language and rational used by judges in later wrongful dismissal decisions.

On October 20th Annette will present her work in the Center's Luncheon Speaker Series. Her talk is entitled "Wrestling with the New Economy: Wrongful Dismissal and the Canadian Courts, 1981-1997."

Jellienke Stamhuis has a law degree from Groningen University, the Netherlands and is currently working on her PhD dissertation at the Department of Legal Theory at the University of Groningen. During her visit in Berkeley, she will continue her work on her dissertation research and plans to participate in some graduate courses. Her main research interests are in the field of sociology of law, the interactionist approach to law and legislation and workers participation law. Her dissertation research addresses several problems and questions, both theoretically and empirically, concerning the concept of 'interactive legislation'. The aim of the research is to test the assumptions of a model of legislation in which the legislator does not one-sidedly impose behavioral rules, but where these are the result of interaction between legislator, judiciary, administrators/officials, interests groups, scholars and media. In Berkeley she hopes to explore the American perspective on workers participation and interactive legislation generally. Jellienke Stamhuis has recently worked on three articles that will be published later this year. The first two deal with the phenomenon of self-regulation and corporate responsibility. The other focuses on elements of interactive law in works councils legislation.
