Tia Canlas ’11 and Heather Warnken (J.D. ’09, LL.M. ’11) will receive Berkeley Law’s Jim Fahey Safe Homes for Women Fellowship. Each gets a $1,000 award and will be honored at an upcoming ceremony. Candidates are chosen based on their commitment to ending domestic violence against women, academic excellence in relevant courses, and financial need. A criminal defense attorney, Fahey argued People v. Humphrey in 1996 before the California Supreme Court, which held that expert testimony of Battered Women’s Syndrome should be considered for a defendant’s actual belief that her life was in danger—and for the reasonableness of that belief.
