Stephen B. Burbank Stephen B. Burbank, David Berger Professor for the Administration of
Justice, and a member of the Executive and Editorial committees of the
American Judicature Society, authored editorials for two recent issues
of Judicature, the Society’s journal. The first called for “Economic Independence
for Federal Judges,” while the second highlighted questions about the
Supreme Court’s certiorari jurisdiction, some of which came in focus because
of Bush v. Gore. Both before and after the Court’s decision in that case,
Burbank was consulted by the media about the role of the judiciary in
the election, and he appeared on an NPR program devoted to that subject.
Together with Barry Friedman of NYU Law School, Burbank conceived and
organized an interdisciplinary conference on judicial independence “Judicial
Independence at the Crossroads: Developing an Interdisciplinary Research
Agenda” held at Penn Law School in March 2001, the fruits of which will
be published as a book next fall. Howard F. Chang, Professor of Law, presented “A Liberal Theory of Social Welfare: Fairness, Utility, and the Pareto Principle” at seminars at the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) Summer Institute in August 2000 and at Harvard Law School in December. He was a Visiting Professor of Law at Harvard Law School during the Winter term in January. Professor Chang has also organized a panel on international lawfor the annual meeting of the American Law and Economics Association in May 2001. |
