Berkeley Law's Recent Faculty Scholarship 2024

Letter from Dean Erwin Chemerinsky

A core responsibility of faculty members at a major research university is producing cutting-edge scholarship. Berkeley Law’s faculty are among the most prolific and influential in the country. I am delighted to share with you this brochure which describes recent books and articles by our faculty.

As you will see, the professors at Berkeley Law are engaged in many different types of writing for many different audiences. All of the writing shares in common that it is advancing knowledge, which is a crucial function of a university.

Many of our faculty have produced casebooks and treatises that are primarily directed at law students and other instructors. These allow us to educate a wider audience of law students than just those in our classrooms. Everyone who has been to law school remembers the casebooks and treatises that were indispensable in learning the law.

Often scholarship is written primarily for judges and lawyers, considering crucial areas of legal doctrine, seeking to illuminate it and guide its future. Countless positive changes in the law and our legal system have been the result of scholarship by Berkeley Law professors.

Sometimes scholarship is intended for other academics, engaging in a scholarly dialogue that enhances understanding of the law. In addition to advancing knowledge, these scholarly discussions often ultimately come to shape the law in profound ways. Our faculty ranks sixth nationally in scholarly impact, according to a recent study.

And sometimes law professors write for a general audience seeking to inform and educate non-lawyers as well as attorneys about the law. Although this brochure focuses on books and articles, many of our faculty also write op-eds, blog posts, and social media commentary that influences public understanding and opinions about the law.

As I look at this brochure, I am struck by the comprehensive excellence of the Berkeley Law faculty, with coverage of a huge range of fields and topics. I see how much my colleagues are writing on the most important legal issues of our time.

I hope you enjoy learning about our faculty’s scholarship and perhaps are inspired, as I was in perusing this, to read some of the articles and books that are listed. I am sure you will see why I am so proud to be the dean of Berkeley Law.

Warmly, Erwin Chemerinsky Dean and Jesse H. Choper Distinguished Professor of Law University of California, Berkeley School of Law

Berkeley Law faculty are prolific authors. Here’s a sampling of their many recent or forthcoming books.

ERWIN CHEMERINSKY

No Democracy Lasts Forever: How the Constitution Threatens the United States

LIVERIGHT, 2024

Chemerinsky argues that America’s growing polarization can be traced to the Constitution’s fundamental defects and judicial rulings that entrench minority rule instead of democracy and that these must be overhauled or replaced entirely in order to avoid secession. Noting that just 15 of the nearly 12,000 amendments proposed since 1789 have passed, he points to a governing system steadily diminishing in effectiveness, public confidence, and democratic principles. A new constitutional convention to replace the Constitution of 1787 could be a viable avenue, he writes, similar to how the Founding Fathers replaced the outdated Articles of Confederation.

Relational Justice: A Theory of Private Law

OXFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS, 2024

What makes private law private? What is its domain, and the values it promotes? This book addresses these crucial questions with a robust analysis of the key doctrines of private law, including torts, contracts, and restitution. Discarding the vision of private law as a bastion of negative duties of non-interference or efficiency maximization, this book reframes private law in terms of what it calls “relational justice” — reciprocal respect for self-determination and substantive equality.

SETH DAVIS [CO-EDITOR WITH THILO KUNTZ AND GREGORY SHAFFER]

Transnational Fiduciary Law

CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY PRESS, 2023

Fiduciary law’s characteristic regard for others offers a response to the pursuit of unconstrained self-interest in business and government relations, potentially implicating the exercise of both private and public power. It’s been invoked not only to address traditional private law matters, but also to enjoin transnational corporations to respect human rights, to combat public corruption, and to constrain national governments to respect the rights of Indigenous Peoples. This book focuses on the processes through which conceptualizations of fiduciary relationships and fiduciary norms may (or may not) settle transnationally — or become unsettled — as actors invoke fiduciary norms to address problems in different domains, including across borders.

CHRIS JAY HOOFNAGLE [CO-AUTHOR WITH GOLDEN G. RICHARD III]

Cybersecurity in Context: Technology, Policy, and Law

WILEY, 2024

The textbook and complementary set of technical exercises is the first-ever introduction to the full range of cybersecurity challenges and solutions, accessible by students and teachers in any discipline. Written to be as inclusive as possible, the book aims to be a welcoming introduction that includes both the technical detail and the social relevance of security. It also includes access to self-contained virtual machines for Linux, Windows, and Mac devices that fully encapsulate the whole environment where the exercises can be performed.

ORIN KERR

The Digital Fourth Amendment: Privacy and Policing in Our Online World

OXFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS, FORTHCOMING 2024

Kerr, a leading scholar on computer crime law, outlines how courts are interpreting the Fourth Amendment in the digital age, as computers, smartphones, and the Internet have transformed criminal investigations. Old Fourth Amendment concepts, aimed at physical investigations, don’t make sense, and when courts apply them is often leads to dramatic expansions of government power. Drawing on legal history and the latest technology, Kerr explains the challenges to judges and offers a blueprint for change featuring clear new rules to protect our constitutional rights.

DYLAN C. PENNINGROTH

Before the Movement: The Hidden History of Black Civil Rights

LIVERIGHT, 2023

Based on long-forgotten sources found in the basements of county courthouses, Before the Movement recovers a vision of Black life allied with, yet distinct from, “the freedom struggle.” Penningroth turns the familiar story of the civil rights movement as a product of Northern lawyers venturing South, demonstrating that Black people had long exercised “the rights of everyday use,” and that this lesser-known private-law tradition paved the way for the modern vision of civil rights.

JOHN A. POWELL [CO-AUTHOR WITH STEPHEN MENENDIAN]

Belonging Without Othering: How We Save Ourselves and the World

STANFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS, 2024

The root of all inequality is the process of othering — and its solution is the practice of belonging, and powell and Menendian offer both an in-depth look at why we create an “other” and a prescription for new approach that encourages us to turn toward one another in unprecedented and radical ways. As the threat of authoritarianism grows across the globe, this book makes the case that belonging without othering is the necessary, but not the inevitable, next step in our long journey toward creating truly equitable and thriving societies.

Inspiring Ideas

Berkeley Law’s robust intellectual culture features a constant stream of vibrant discussions, celebrations, and lectures — many of them annual commemorations. Here’s a sampling of last year’s highlights.

U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor speaks to Berkeley Law students, faculty, and staff on a wide range of topics.

United States Supreme Court Associate Justice Sonia Sotomayor joined Dean Erwin Chemerinsky for a lively and invigorating Herma Hill Kay Lecture at a packed Zellerbach Hall. Sotomayor, who spent much of the event walking amid the audience with a microphone, conveyed optimism about the power of citizen engagement fueled by a sense of justice and historical perspective.

“What choice do you have but to fight the good fight?” she said. “You can’t throw up your hands and walk away. That’s not a choice. That’s abdication. That’s giving up. How can you look at the heroes like Thurgood Marshall, like the freedom fighters who went to lunch counters and got beaten, like John Lewis who marched over that bridge in Selma and got his head busted open — how can you look at those people and say you’re entitled to despair? You’re not. I’m not.”

Now in her 15th year on the Supreme Court, Sotomayor described how the work has become “all-consuming.” In recent years, she said the Court’s emergency calendar is busy almost on a weekly basis.

“I understand the impact the Court has on people and on the country and sometimes the world, and so that’s what keeps me going,” she explained. “I had not appreciated how much of a burden that would be. Knowing we are the final word on

constitutional law, in some ways it’s frightening because when we get it wrong, we’re impacting generations of people.”

Harvard Law Professor and former dean Martha Minow gave a second Herma Hill Kay Lecture Titled “Constitutional Preconditions,” Minow’s lecture focused on what she called “three essential predicates for constitutional democracy that face jeopardy”: education, reliable news, and security against lethal violence, and explored why they’re preconditions for self-government and how to protect them.

The California Law Review’s annual symposium, organized with Professors Jonathan D. Glater and Russell K. Robinson, confronted equality concerns in the jurisprudence of the current Supreme Court. Berkeley Law professors and scholars from around the country discussed recent high-profile decisions they say departed from precedent, veered toward right-wing ideology, and threatened equal treatment under the law.

The Human Rights Center hosted a conversation with U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türk, in partnership with our Miller Institute for Global Challenges and the Law and Center for Law, Energy & the Environment as well as the UC Berkeley School of Information, Haas School of Business, Center for Information Technology Research in the Interest of Society and the Banatao Institute, Center for Responsible Business at Haas, the Graduate School of Journalism, and the Goldman School of Public Policy.

Berkeley Law hosted the annual Graciela Olivárez Latinas in the Legal Academy Workshop (GO LILA), drawing dozens of Latina law professors from across the country to discuss they challenges they face and brainstorm strategies for collective and professional development. The two-day event featured plenary discussions, a keynote address, issue-focused breakout sessions, and networking activities from writing sessions to painting. Panelists addressed the need to prod law schools to hire and nurture talented underrepresented faculty.

The annual Berkeley Journal of International Law’s Stefan A. Riesenfeld Symposium convened legal experts, policymakers, and industry leaders to explore the intricate relationship between Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) considerations and international legal frameworks. University College London School of Management Professor Paolo Taticchi was the keynote speaker and received the Riesenfeld Award, which recognizes distinguished figures and leaders who have made notable contributions to global social and economic change. The event was sponsored by Berkeley Law’s Miller Institute for Global Challenges and the Law & Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer.

The Criminal Law & Justice Center and Berkeley Journal of Criminal Law organized a symposium on California’s Racial Justice Act to examine the examined the 2020 Act’s early implementation and implications. Participants included legal scholars, defense attorneys, and data scientists.

The fourth annual Berkeley Center for Law & Technology/Berkeley Technology Law Journal symposium, California Constitutional Privacy at 50: Power of State Law and Promoting Racial Justice in the Digital Age, brought together leading academics and practitioners actively working on California privacy as well as diverse thinkers

with perspectives from around the country to explore the landscape of California’s constitutional right to privacy at age 50.

The Asian American Law Journal’s symposium, “Asian Americans and Affirmative Action: Complicating the ‘Asian Penalty’ Argument,” considered how the narrative collapsing Asian and white American positionalities and perspectives in discussions about affirmative action has become a dominant one in the years leading up to and since the U.S. Supreme Court’s Students for Fair Admission v. Harvard decision.

Canadian Supreme Court Justice Rosalie Abella gave the Irving Tragen Lecture on Comparative Law, titled “Lawyers, Judges, and Justice.”

Led by Eckerd College Literature Professor Julie Empric, the Berkeley Judicial Institute’s virtual Law and Literature series used canonical texts like Julius Caesar, The Lottery, and To Kill a Mockingbird to give participants the opportunity to reflect on how literature provides insight into contemporary issues.

Spheres of Influence

Berkeley Law’s 29 research centers and institutes produce scholarship and policy research across a wide swath of the legal world, with a particular emphasis on cross-disciplinary angles. Here are some of their highlights from the past year.

Securing Critical Climate Accords

Leaders from the Center for Law, Energy & the Environment’s (CLEE) California-China Climate Institute (CCCI) helped plan and support Gov. Gavin Newsom’s fall 2023 trip to China, which included a meeting with President Xi Jinping — the first visit there by a Golden State governor since 2017 — and the signing of new agreements to help accelerate a transition to clean energy and achieve carbon neutrality.

Institute Director Fan Dai collaborated closely with the national and provincial governments to create opportunities for discussions and develop climate-focused partnerships within China, which produces almost a third of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions.

Chaired by former Gov. Jerry Brown, CCCI is a collaboration between CLEE and UC Berkeley’s College of Natural Resources.

CCCI also co-hosted the Great Wall Climate Dialogue — attended by Newsom and top state officials alongside senior leaders from China’s environmental ministry and Guangdong, Hainan, Inner Mongolia, Jiangsu, and Sichuan provinces — and supported the development of the “Declaration of Enhanced Subnational Climate Action and Cooperation Between the State of California and the People’s Republic of China,” the first declaration of its kind between China and a subnational government.

The institute also hosted and fostered additional climate-focused exchanges between California and Chinese officials during Minister Xie Zhenhua’s visit to the state and the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Summit in San Francisco in November 2023.

Leading the Way in Life Sciences

The Berkeley Center for Law & Technology created its Life Sciences Law & Policy Center in 2021 to expand the center’s traditional IP and tech focus into one of Silicon Valley’s highest-growth and legally compelling areas. As this practice area booms — and cash and resources pour in — important debates are ongoing with respect to the future of these industries, including drug pricing, the role of IP in development, privacy considerations for life sciences companies, and how artificial intelligence should be adopted.

Four years later, Berkeley Law is well-positioned to be a leader in these debates, and in educating future practitioners. In addition to a slate of innovative new courses, including the IP Practicum Clinic and Seminar and the Life Sciences & Innovation Workshop, the center is supporting research and two major annual conferences to bring together legal experts to discuss current issues and share best practices.

Alongside two of the school’s IP and tech law titans, Professor Peter S. Menell and Robert P. Merges, Life Sciences Law & Policy Center

under three years,

Director Allison Schmitt, a Berkeley Law alumna, has led the multifaceted growth of the project, with additional support from four founding organizations: Wilson Sonsini, including special support from partner and Berkeley Law lecturer Vern Norviel, Weil Gotshal, Genentech, and Gilead.

The center is also deeply engaged on these topics across the UC Berkeley campus — which is stocked with experts and leading researchers who complement and extend the school’s reach — and beyond. Schmitt is a representative on Berkeley’s Innovation and Entrepreneurship Council, and the Berkeley IP Practicum serves Berkeley-affiliated startup companies.

Norviel developed the idea for the center after passing the special parking spaces UC Berkeley reserves for its Nobel laureates and envisioning the significant opportunities available from integrating the law school more fully with Berkeley’s life sciences research efforts. He hoped the center would be a bridge between the law school and the larger campus and is thrilled at how quickly it’s happened.

“I don’t think Berkeley Law is just No. 1 in this area — I think they’re the only one,” he says. “I couldn’t be more ecstatic that so much has happened so fast.”

A ‘Dream Team’ Assembles to Discuss Contract Law Theory

The Center for Private Law Theory drew scholars from across the globe for a two-day event focused on pathbreaking scholarly works in progress.

The 12 featured papers covered a wide range of topics, from a taste of legal history regarding British marine salvage law to the existential question of which societal institutions to revive in the wake of a revolution. And while contract law theory was the main course, participants drew in other academic fields to season the debate, including law and economics and law and political economy.

Professor Hanoch Dagan, who leads the center, says the meeting — which will be an annual event — featured a “dream team of participants” and was a tremendous success and “a real intellectual feast.”

“Leading scholars from multiple jurisdictions and various methodological and normative commitments got together in a pre-read intensive discussion of 12 fascinating papers, providing authors with helpful suggestions to further refine their positions on some of the most fundamental, and in some cases timely, issues of private law theory,” he says.

Dagan, who joined the Berkeley Law faculty in 2023 after three decades at Tel Aviv University, is one of the world’s foremost private law scholars. He sees private law as a key component in how we live our everyday lives and interact with one another in the market, the neighborhood, the great outdoors, and the road.

Connecting those dots means collecting the perspectives not just of lawyers but political scientists, historians, philosophers, and more. And at the workshop — one of the center’s first major events — that was on full display.

“This was a great launch of one of the pillars of the center’s yearly activities, promising to place Berkeley Law as a global hub of contract law theory,” Dagan says.

Yale Law Professor Daniel Markovits, who attended the conference, praised the quality and vigor of the discussions as well as Dagan’s leadership.

“The workshop was an absolute model of intellectual seriousness and excellence: filled with first-rate scholars … engaging with exceptional seriousness and openness,” he says.

His Yale colleague Alan Schwartz tinged discussions with a sharp law and economics perspective. Tulane Law Professor James Gordley, who spent nearly 20 years on the Berkeley Law faculty, incorporated his research on comparative law and legal history.

Several Berkeley Law faculty members, most of them affiliated with the center, also participated in the workshop, including Professors Abbye Atkinson, Mark Gergen, Christopher Kutz, Adam Badawi, and Diana S. Reddy.

The workshop featured an extremely impressive group of scholars drawn from all over the world working on topics of real interest, both theoretically and practically, Berkeley Law Professor David Singh Grewal says.

“It was so great to have these conversations happening here at Berkeley.”

At the Forefront of Propelling a Sustainable Economy

At the inaugural Berkeley Corporate + Climate Summit, experts in business, government, academia, and the nonprofit sector discussed strategies for corporations to propel a more sustainable economy. The very topic itself — how corporate governance can help mitigate climate change — reflects profound changes they’ve seen from boardrooms in recent years.

The law school’s Berkeley Center for Law and Business (BCLB) and CLEE co-sponsored the unique two-day event with the American Bar Association, the first conference about climate on the corporate side at any law school in the country.

“This is the most exciting time for corporate law in my career because we see this big change in how corporations are responding to climate,” said Berkeley Law Professor Stavros Gadinis. “That’s why we wanted to convene this meeting. While a bunch of new regulations are coming, a change in the depth, size, and intensity required to meaningfully address climate change cannot happen without internal change within companies.”

Panelists explored many ways lawyers can help drive this change, and how in-house counsel are moving the needle. They also highlighted the

recent pushback against the ESG (environmental, social, and governance) movement, which urges companies to factor ethical and sustainability considerations into their decision.

BCLB Executive Director Angeli Patel, who moderated a panel on climate’s role in ESG, and described how the past three years have seen that topic emerge as the highest ESG priority.

Finding common ground, however, remains challenging. Given the global scope of climate change, speakers expressed concern about regulatory fragmentation, as the Securities and Exchange Commission, European Union, and other regulatory bodies set varying standards.

Susan Mac Cormac, who co-chairs Morrison Foerster’s ESG + Sustainability and Social Enterprise + Impact Investing practices, hailed Berkeley Law’s seminal work in corporate governance research and called it a fitting venue.

“The fact that Berkeley is taking a leading role is really special and speaks about the institution and the people who work and teach here,” she said.

Noting that “being a long-term investor is a responsibility, not just an advantage, to future generations of both taxpayers and beneficiaries,” Sustainability Accounting Standards Board CEO Janine Guillot identified corporate behavior and corporate disclosure as two key areas of change, adding that “disclosure influences operations and operations influence disclosure.”

Advancing Climate Justice Worldwide

As the climate changes, the prevalence and ferocity of extreme weather events — severe heat waves, torrential rains, alarming floods, extensive droughts, and destructive wildfires — are increasing. Such events drastically affect peoples’ lives: their health, livelihood, housing, access to food and clean water, and personal security.

This year, the Human Rights Center (HRC) launched a Climate Justice program to address the enormous impacts of climate change on human beings. It began with two projects: strengthening protections for California’s agricultural workers in wildfires, and researching forced migration due to climate change.

In addition, HRC has established a dedicated line of work in its student-run Investigations Lab that will focus on environmental investigations, which will complement and support the new Climate Justice program. This kicked-off with an investigation into the killing of 13 Indigenous environmental defenders in Brazil who were targeted for protecting their sacred lands from extractive industries in the Amazon.

Extraordinary Access, Illuminating Interviews

The “Borderlines” podcast, produced by the Miller Institute for Global Challenges and the Law and hosted by center Co-Director and Berkeley Law Professor Katerina Linos, created a special series of episodes taking listeners inside the Court of Justice of the European Union. In addition to interviews with more than a dozen CJEU judges, Linos also recorded a candid conversation with The Honorable Joan Donoghue, a Berkeley Law alum and the recently retired president of the ICJ. They discussed several ongoing disputes, including South Africa v. Israel, key court functions, and what it’s like to serve in this preeminent global arena.

“More Just,” with Berkeley Law Dean Erwin Chemerinsky, explores law schools, students, and professors make our legal system better and more equitable for all. Chemerinsky has been a law school leader for more than a decade, and a professor for 40 years. But today’s problems seem different, and more intractable: Threats to our democracy. The rise of authoritarianism. The vast peril of climate change. Yawning wealth disparities and racial inequalities. The rule of law — and the role of the law — has never been more important. In these difficult times, law schools can, and must, play an active role in finding solutions. But how? Each episode of “More Just” starts with a problem, then explores potential solutions, featuring Chemerinsky as well as other deans, professors, students, and advocates, about how they’re making law schools matter.

Recent or upcoming episodes feature Cornell Law

Professor Michael Dorf and CNN Chief Supreme Court Analyst Joan Biskupic talking with Chemerinsky about the U.S. Supreme Court’s sweeping changes to Constitutional law; Berkeley Law Professors Pamela Samuelson and Colleen V. Chien on the challenges of governing AI; and Berkeley Law Professor Emily Rong Zhang and UCLA Law Professor Richard L. Hasen on election law during what’s sure to be an unprecedented political season.

“Berkeley Law Voices Carry” is a showcase for the many ways the school’s faculty, students, and staff are making an impact — in California, across the country, and around the world. Here are some highlights:

• Professor Osagie K. Obasogie talking about the major Los Angeles Review of Books project he organized and wrote the opening essay for, “Legacies of Eugenics.” The essay collection examines how the ideas underpinning eugenics continue to shape many aspects of science, medicine, and technology in ways that we often don’t appreciate.

• Professors Tejas N. Narechania and Rebecca Wexler discussing artificial intelligence from the regulatory and platform angle as well as its growing impact on the criminal justice system.

• Dave Jones, director of the Climate Risk Initiative at our Center for Law, Energy & the Environment and a former California insurance commissioner, analyzing the major threats climate change poses to the insurance industry and the accompanying new risks.

• Professor Jonah B. Gelbach describing why scholars are pushing to drop the paywall on the Public Access to Court Electronic Records database — the online repository of more than than 1 billion federal court records, commonly referred to as PACER — so more researchers, journalists, and members of the public can analyze what’s going on inside our courthouses.

• Professor john a. powell on his new book, Belonging Without Othering: How We Save Ourselves and the World.
