Dear Colleague: We are pleased to update you on the scholarship produced since 2012 by our tenured and tenuretrack faculty. SUNY Buffalo Law School faculty enjoy a well-deserved reputation for cuttingedge ideas and have long been associated with interdisciplinary research and critical approaches to the study of law. Many of our colleagues hold doctorates in areas other than law, and the innovative and thoughtful scholarship catalogued here reflects this rich and diverse background. We hope that you enjoy getting to know their work. Yours sincerely,

James A. Gardner Interim Dean

A leader in legal thought since 1887 Below is a list of 10 events and movements that have made a difference — in the Western New York legal community, but also increasingly, as the Law School has gained in regional, national and global reputation, in ways that reached far beyond Buffalo and Amherst. Of necessity, the list excludes the past decade or so, in which much intellectual ferment has taken place but for which the judgment of history will have to wait. But it includes many developments that continue to resonate today, including the granddaddy of them all ...

Speakers have included Irene Khan, C. Edwin Baker, Derrick Bell, Barry Cushman, Carol Gilligan, Elizabeth Holtzman, Stewart Macaulay, Catharine A. MacKinnon, Carrie Menkel-Meadow, Richard Posner and Clyde Summers.

At the time of the school’s founding in 1887, law was very much a craft that aspiring attorneys learned by apprenticing themselves to a practicing member of the bar. The system worked well enough for its time. But a handful of visionaries, seeing the limitations of law office training and acknowledging the presence of rigorous law schools in other cities, set out to change the landscape for legal education in Western New York. A dozen members of the bench and bar are credited as the founders of the Buffalo Law School — and among them, only three had themselves graduated from a law school. In a break with the tradition of the all-male bar, the Class of 1899 included two female graduates.

The student-edited Law Review published its first issue in the 1950–51 academic year, assembled by five members of the Class of ’51. It featured 18 student case notes and an article by former dean, Louis L. Jaffe, titled “Res Ipsa Loquitur Vindicated.” Today the Law Review staff publishes five issues each year, providing a forum for significant scholarship and affording its student editors valuable learning experiences in legal scholarship.

SUNY Buffalo Law School has a long history of excellence in tax law, and the Albert R. Mugel National Tax Moot Court Competition — named for the longtime Law School professor — was one of the first specialized national moot court competitions. Each year, law students from across the nation come to Buffalo to present their written and oral arguments on cutting-edge federal tax law issues in this prestigious competition, now more than 30 years old and one of the cornerstones of the Law School’s rigorous tax law curriculum.

Shea, the Law School’s fifth dean, served from 1936 to 1939, amid the gathering storm of World War II. Shea hired a contemporary of his from Harvard Law School, Louis L. Jaffe, then added two more Harvard graduates, David Riesman, Jr. and Mark DeWolfe Howe. Some began calling the school “Little Harvard.” This nexus of faculty was familiar with the lessons learned from American Legal Realism — which recognized the sharp moral, political and social conflict that undergirded the creation and administration of the legal system — and the New Deal economics of President Franklin D. Roosevelt. The Law School continues that emphasis on understanding law in the context of its sociopolitical environment.

FOUNDING OF THE CLINICAL PROGRAM

E S TA B L I S H M E N T O F T H E M I T C H E L L L E C T U R E

The James McCormick Mitchell Lecture is the signature lecture at SUNY Buffalo Law School. Endowed in 1950 by a major gift from Lavinia A. Mitchell in memory of her husband, Class of 1897, the lecture has been a forum for showcasing nationally important legal scholars and ideas in the Buffalo legal community. 3

The current emphasis on hands-on learning that produces practice-ready attorneys has a long provenance at SUNY Buffalo Law School, and a special place in that history belongs to the school’s clinical program. One of the first education law clinics in the nation found its home at the Law School, to be followed by other innovative clinics that combined practical education and service to the community. Some of the Law School’s clinics, now numbering more than a dozen, have drawn national and international recognition for their work on, for example, the problem of domestic violence.


LAW AND SOCIETY COMES TO BUFFALO

The Law and Society movement in legal scholarship studies the place of law in social, political, economic and cultural life. Five current or former faculty members have been president of the International Law and Society Association, and three have served as editor in chief of the Law & Society Review. The movement is a key part of the Law School’s focus on interdisciplinary scholarship that incorporates academic expertise beyond black-letter law. E S TA B L I S H M E N T O F T H E B A L D Y C E N T E R FOR LAW & SOCIAL POLICY

The Baldy Center was created in 1972 with a generous endowment from the estate of Christopher Baldy, a 1910 graduate of the Law School. The Baldy Center is the Law School’s premier vehicle for fostering interdisciplinary scholarship on law, legal institutions and social policy, including research, teaching and curriculum development. More than 150 UB faculty members from numerous departments participate in Baldy Center research, conferences, working groups and publications. The Baldy Center also hosts distinguished scholars from around the world as visitors, speakers and conference participants. BIRTH OF THE BUFFALO MODEL LAW SCHOOL

There’s a continuous tension among those who study legal education over the pedagogical methods that make the best lawyers. The so-called Buffalo Model — home-grown at the Law School — has emerged as an innovative and highly effective approach. The model, which began to take form in the mid-1970s under the deanship of Thomas E. Headrick, moved the Law School’s curriculum in directions that took advantage of the multidisciplinary ethos of the school and focused on the increasing complexities of law practice. CRITICAL LEGAL STUDIES COMES TO BUFFALO

Theorists of the Critical Legal Studies movement apply the methods of semiotic deconstruction to law scholarship. The movement emerged in the late 1970s and has spawned offshoots including critical race theory. Buffalo became one of the first centers for CLS scholarship outside of the two law schools with which this important movement in legal thought was associated.

Laws of Image: Privacy and Publicity in America (Stanford University Press, 2015) Americans’ obsession with self presentation runs deep in our history, Associate Professor Samantha Barbas argues in this far-reaching examination of laws that govern the use of people’s public images. “The more self-focused and image-conscious we become, our law seems to follow in step,” she says. “I tried to reframe the way that legal scholars have been looking at this area of the law.” In her research, Barbas looked at reported court decisions from the viewpoint of a cultural historian. She also examined publications such as The New Yorker and The New York Times from the 1920s and ’30s, “to see what kinds of libel and privacy claims were being made and how they were dealt with, what arguments were made.”

AREAS OF INTEREST First Amendment Legal History Mass Media Law

“My work examines the interconnections between law, social history and the history of mass communications. Drawing on my earlier research in media history, published as Movie Crazy: Fans, Stars, and the Cult of Celebrity (Palgrave Macmillan, 2001), and The First Lady of Hollywood (University of California Press, 2005), it focuses on the first modern media revolution — the advent of mass-market publishing, radio, film and television in the early to mid-20th century.”

“My research is in civil procedure, specifically the tension between class actions’ enforcement potential and heightened procedural and evidentiary rules. On the one hand, judicial resources are far from absolute, and such rules can promote judicial efficiency. On the other hand, a raft of new procedural hurdles threaten class actions potential to regulate corporate behavior. It is now harder to get into court; harder to plead a claim; and harder to certify a class. I analyze how such hurdles impact class actions, and then identify ways to balance efficiency and enforcement goals. Because rule interpretation is primarily left to the judiciary, my work analyzes judicial interpretation and decision-making.”

“I am currently working on a book examining the relationship between law, technology and advertising. Through a variety of mechanisms, including intellectual property law, privacy law, contract law and the First Amendment, the legal system is struggling to set an appropriate balance between commercial freedom and consumer protection in the midst of a modern marketing revolution. Figuring out where this balance should be set is a difficult project. My approach is to mine psychology, which tells us how consumers think, and history, which tells us how lawmakers approached similar questions in the past, to help assess the costs and benefits of advertising in new forms and new spaces.”

“Through ethnography, interviews, and texts, my work examines how cultural understandings shape legal realities. I have written about how ideas of legitimacy shape the way courts mediate between individuals and governments; how assumptions about the value of information affects the way governments classify individuals; and how the legitimation of law depends on cultural values even in a democratic society. Currently, I am involved in two primary strands of research. One draws on anthropology, linguistics, and philosophy of language to examine aspects of judicial interpretation and meaningmaking that go unnoticed in legal theory. The other uses interviews to uncover how legal interpretation works as an everyday practice of administrative agencies.”

“My recent book defends one of the most criticized features of American criminal law, the felony murder doctrine. I show that, contrary to what lawyers have been taught, the doctrine’s origins are modern, American and legislative rather than medieval, English and judicial; and that its current limits inhered in its original concept. I trace criticisms of the felony murder doctrine to overly cognitive conceptions of criminal culpability and urge that we reconceive culpability as a kind of meaning expressed by acts of wrongdoing.

“My research examines various intersections of law and sexuality, from obscenity regulation to same-sex marriage. I’m interested in how the law favors, tolerates or disfavors particular expressions of sexuality and intimacy, and how such treatment relates to moral systems, social arrangements and political ideologies. Often I explore these questions from a historical perspective, as in current projects on Anita Bryant’s pivotal 1977 campaign against gay rights and the 1895 trials of Oscar Wilde.”

Wild Life: The Institution of Nature (Stanford University Press, 2015) In Zooland: the Institution of Captivity, Professor Irus Braverman explores the complex web of agreements that govern how zoos manage their animals. In her new book, Wild Life: The Institution of Nature, she looks at the very idea of nature, and the bitter debate among conservationists over whether it’s better to preserve species in the wild or in captivity. “This is a really important question that is very emotional as well,” she says. “Some say we have to give up on this distinction; others say if we do that we’re basically giving up on nature. So there’s a lot at stake.” Drawing on five years of fieldwork and participatory observations that include interviews with more than 120 conservation scientists from around the world, Braverman asks, for example, “What happens when a species can only exist in captivity."

“My research focuses on the relationship between law and the physical and natural environment. I have explored Israel’s house demolitions in East Jerusalem, the changes that have occurred in checkpoints on the Israeli/ Palestinian border, the war over tree landscapes in this region, and the regulation of public washrooms and animals in North American cities. My study of animals has culminated in Zooland: The Institution of Captivity (IPPY Award Winner). My latest book, Wildlife: The Institution of Nature explores the relationship between captive and wild animal population management. I am currently editing Animals, Biopolitics, Law: Lively Legalities, which brings together anthropologists, geographers, legal scholars and others to consider legalities that move beyond human-centered frameworks.”

I am studying caps on non-economic damages to demonstrate that caps have a disparate impact on women, the elderly, and children’s death cases. I’m also exploring why non-economic damages are an under-sustained challenge, and why women tend to receive greater proportions of their tort awards in non-economic damages, as well as other important empirical questions about the hidden or unintended consequences of tort reform, including how it will affect lawyers’ case selection and settlement strategies. Better understanding of the actual consequences of legal change on the institutional players and the people who seek access to the civil justice system can lead to sounder and more equitable law reform.”

scholars intrigued by this littleexplored avenue of legal study. In response, she has established the first scholarly journal in the field. Buddhism, Law and Society, which French will edit, will be available in print and on the web. “There’s very little out there on Buddhist law in the sense of its influence on secular states,” French says. “But it has had a profound influence on many secular legal systems across the world.” The journal will include book reviews; reports on historical and modern legal cases; and dispatches from practitioners and scholars around the world on legislation

“In the course of my investigation of the Tibetan legal system, I discovered a gaping hole in the substantial discipline of Religious Legal Studies — the study of Buddhist legal systems. Incredibly, almost nothing has been written on the legal systems that were influenced by Buddhism, one of the largest world religions with a 2,500-year history and 500 million followers. My project for the last few years has been to write in this area and to organize a wide array of international scholars to talk, think and write about this exciting new subject matter.”

“My research interest has focused on federal tax law. While it might seem like an oxymoron to use the terms ‘tax law’ and ‘interest’ in the same sentence, understanding the ‘whats’ and ‘whys’ of a text longer than the Bible has proved fascinating. The term ‘tax simplification’ is often discussed in Washington as being a cure for all our economic ills. However, it is quite clear that our nation’s politicians will never stop using the Internal Revenue Code as a mechanism for instituting social and economic policy. In fact, each change to the tax code made over the last couple of years, while championed as ‘simplification,’ makes it even harder for individuals and businesses to navigate their way through the maze of tax rules and regulations by which they are governed. And no one has reason to believe that additional ‘reforms’ are not just around the corner.”

“My research explores immigration law and policy, constitutional law, and international human rights, with a particular focus on substantive theories of equality and access to justice. I link these areas by exploring the manner in which legal doctrine, procedures and institutional arrangements can optimally interact to promote equality and fundamental rights. In asking these questions, I am particularly interested in how legal institutions, legislation and doctrine both regulate and are affected by larger issues of race, ethnicity, citizenship, social and economic class, and other markers of identity and membership.�

“My research continues to focus on child welfare financing laws. My research team is disseminating the results of our two-year study funded by the Public Health Law Research Program of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. Our results strongly support flexible financing for local child welfare systems to respond to the complex needs of the children and families they serve. Our findings have been published in the Congressional Record as part of Senate hearings on child welfare funding and are being used as part of larger efforts to address the federal/ state/local response to child abuse and neglect. I am now focusing on the broader health impacts of childhood trauma reported by the Center for Disease Control’s Adverse Childhood Experiences Study, and how funding strategies may best help local agencies work with the children in their child welfare system to avoid the long-term health effects of child maltreatment.”

“For the past 20 years I have devoted my scholarly, activist and pedagogical attention to human rights issues with particular emphasis on women’s human rights. Much of my lecturing and training and provision of scholarships has been to NGO lawyers focusing on women’s rights in Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union. More specifically, I have worked with them on violence against women in post-socialist societies. My concerns extend to legal, political and social theory and practice regarding gender, nationalism, civil society, and efforts to develop and implement a rule of law. To supplement my domestic teaching, I teach at universities and consult with NGOs in post-socialist countries on a regular ongoing basis.”

I am interested in how law and politics shape markets and in how economic policies reflect and reproduce ideas about citizenship and social status.

“My research focuses on how non-governmental actors interact with each other and with governments to establish and maintain transnational regulatory programs in fields where governments have typically been the main regulators — e.g., environmental protection, human rights, and food safety. I am studying how effective, fair, and democratic the emerging governance ecosystems are, and particularly how competition and cooperation among the different regulators affects the overall system. It is important to understand these processes because the nation states have had great difficulty in creating effective international environmental and social regulatory programs. As non-governmental programs become more important we may also need to revise some of our main assumptions about what counts as law and how law is made and implemented.”

“Although traditionally viewed as distinct from the criminal justice system, the United States immigration system has adopted many of the techniques and objectives associated with crime control within the War on Drugs. In the wake of the terror attacks of 9/11, the convergence of our civil system of immigration regulation and our failing domestic criminal justice system has intensified. As a scholar, I am committed to documenting the points of convergence between these two systems and underscoring the ironies that cast into doubt the legitimacy of this potent new system of social control.”

In the area of information privacy and surveillance, I draw upon my background as a law librarian and my experience with the social aspects of technology. In a world where — whether we realize it or not — we all live online, issues of privacy and surveillance are both practically important and intellectually fascinating.”

“My scholarship has centered on state legitimacy, postcolonialism, constitutionalism and the critiques of the human rights idiom. In a world that is increasingly defined by relativism — and the expansion of the meaning and content of freedom — shackles of state power are constantly being loosened. Human rights is the medium of choice for this discourse which has become indispensable in post-colonial societies, by far the overwhelming majority of the earth’s inhabitants. How societies resolve the questions I tackle may very well determine the pace at which the chasm between power and powerlessness shrinks or grows.”

Rethinking Sustainability to Meet the Climate Change Challenge (co-edited with Keith Hirokawa) (Environmental Law Institute, 2015) “Climate change is a reality that’s here to stay,” writes Associate Professor Jessica Owley in this edited book of essays, “and it’s bigger than we would have imagined even 20 years ago. We need to think about what we are actually working toward and setting clear goals, not just adopting a catch phrase that sounds cool but can be shaped into whatever the listener wants it to be.” The concept of sustainability, she argues, may have reached the end of its useful life. “To most folks on the street, sustainability just means ‘environmentally friendly,’ ” Owley says. “When we embrace that definition, sustainability doesn’t give us much to hang our hat on. Just suggesting folks be ‘greener’ isn’t concrete or useful in tackling climate change.” The essays are by members of the Environmental Law Collaborative, a group of scholars that Owley helped to found.

“My research centers on the evolving meaning of property. I am particularly interested in how shifting meanings and interpretations affect environmental values and regulatory schemes. My recent line of inquiry examines the intersection between ‘public’ and ‘private’ land conservation and how that moving line influences property and environmental law. I am intrigued by our relations to land and decisions about conservation at multiple scales. I have been engaging with individual decisions regarding land use and the emergence of conservation easements as a preferred method of conservation. Where private agreements regarding land use form the backbone of our conservation strategies, we elevate the role of the private landowner over community needs and desires.”

What fascinates about this now long passed time is that its understanding of what makes up a ‘good economy’ is so unlike our own, and yet, that lost understanding structures so much of the debate about today’s economy. Such nostalgia for an unrecoverable past is pathological, but there may be a theme here.

“My current work focuses on the origins of judicial review during the 1780s. There has been a veritable flood of writing on this subject in recent years, but largely because, in my view, no completely convincing account of the subject has thus far appeared. I argue that the origins of judicial review must be sought simultaneously in the constitutional controversies of the 1770s, and in an older set of assumptions about constitutional change through prescription.”

At the same time, it is becoming increasingly apparent that the local dimensions of immigration play a significant role in not only the development of our immigration policies, but also how immigrants are perceived in American society. My research aims to bridge this divide by exposing the intricate and complex relationship between immigration and local government law. I am currently examining how local government law’s systematic organization of space and community serves, in many instances, as a ‘second order’ regulatory component of our immigration regime, and questioning the manner in which legal doctrines frame our conceptualization of cities in the immigration context.”

“Interweaving my concerns as a legal scholar with my training in cultural anthropology, my work has focused on a set of legal and theoretical challenges posed by changes in the nature of state sovereignty in an era of privatization and globalization. In two geographical areas, I consider these changes by examining both institutional forms (law and policy) and moral, ethical and social values. In my United States-focused work and especially my work on the military, I examine what happens when the logic of market exchange collides with sectors of our society organized around such ideas as service, honor and sacrifice. In more recent work in East Africa, I examine the way that sovereignty is defined through relationships with external actors.”

“Lately I’ve been concerned with the public character of finance in market societies with dematerialized economies, which I think implies a different imaginary of the activity that regulation addresses. In short, social capitalism in economies of money demands custodial regulation. But what might bring about such an imaginative shift, if the global financial crisis has not sufficed?”

“My research focuses on employee-benefits law and policy and, especially, the regulatory regime created by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. ERISA is a large and complicated statute that governs private-sector pension and welfare plans. ERISA’s sweeping preemption clause has been particularly controversial. I am currently writing a series of articles that explain the political and policy concerns that led lawmakers to include broad preemption language in ERISA.”

PhD, University of Pennsylvania JD, University of Pennsylvania

Leslie’s research combines legal sociology, economic sociology, and a theoretical focus on trust and trustworthiness to account for the ruinous “success” of history’s second largest Ponzi scheme: the $5.5 billion Stanford Financial Group fraud. Based on varied documentary data and more than 100 interviewswith defrauded investors and former Stanford employees, his work traces the trajectory of the fraud in its two largest markets: the U.S. and Venezuela.

In her research, Schmidt examines a key feature of globalization, the rise of regulation beyond the state. At the Baldy Center, she is part of the Transnational Governance Interaction Network Project. Her main research focus will be on the interplay between expertise driven private regulation and more traditional political authority in multilevel transnational regulatory networks.

Simard’s scholarship examines how American lawyers in the nineteenth century built a capitalist state. Using day books, ledgers, and letters, his dissertation provides a bottom-up history of an elite profession. These sources demonstrate that lawyers contributed to the growth and expansion of American capitalism not with grand gestures, but by solving day-to-day problems on behalf of their clients.
