Message from the Dean

Dear Colleagues, We are pleased to update you on the scholarship produced by our faculty since 2014. Situated on the flagship campus of a premier, researchintensive public university, University at Buffalo School of Law has long been associated with innovative, interdisciplinary research and critical approaches to the study of law.Â Many of our faculty members hold doctorates in areas other than law, and the thoughtful scholarship catalogued here reflects this rich and diverse background. We hope you enjoy getting to know their work. Yours sincerely,

Aviva Abramovsky Dean

Revisiting a Notorious Case TIME INC. V. HILL WAS THE FIRST U.S. SUPREME COURT CASE to strike a balance between privacy and free-press rights. Professor Samantha Barbas’ most recent book, Newsworthy (Stanford University Press), looks at the 1967 case, its sensational beginnings and the broader cultural movements behind it. “It was a very interesting clash of worldviews over the credibility of the media and how much of a pass we should give the press to publish freely,” says Barbas, who has written extensively on libel and privacy laws. The plaintiff was represented by Richard Nixon, and in her research Barbas examined the future president’s voluminous notes, hand-written on yellow legal pads. Newsworthy won a silver medal in the U.S. History category of the Independent Publisher Book Awards.

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.”

That’s an example of what Professor Mark Bartholomew calls “adcreep” – the insidious intrusion of advertising messages into nearly every corner of the human environment. In Adcreep: The Case Against Modern Marketing (Stanford University Press), Bartholomew describes how pervasive this phenomenon is. He also details the ways in which marketers are probing the human brain – with the biometric scans, automated online spies and facial recognition technologies – to make their messages more persuasive than ever before. “The problem,” Bartholomew says, “is that when advertising is everywhere, we start to lose alternative visions of what the good life is and what citizenship means.”

Reforming Felony Murder IN A SPLIT DECISION, MASSACHUSETTS’ HIGHEST COURT abolished felony murder in that state – and both the majority and the minority cited scholarly writing by Professor Guyora Binder in their rationales. Previously, Massachusetts imposed first degree murder liability on participants in certain felonies causing death, regardless of their mental state. In Commonwealth v. Timothy Brown, however,

the court drew on Binder’s historical research in holding that the state’s nineteenth century murder statute did not require this. The majority held that henceforth participants in a felony causing death could not be guilty of murder without a mental state of malice. A minority objected, citing Binder’s arguments that some felons who cause death unintentionally deserve severe punishment. The majority responded that Massachusetts defines malice broadly enough to impose murder liability in such cases. Binder is the author of Felony Murder (Stanford U. Press, 2012) and numerous articles on that topic.

Hard Questions on the Genetic Frontier A UB SCHOOL OF LAW CONFERENCE WAS THE GENESIS OF PROFESSOR IRUS BRAVERMAN’S edited volume Gene Editing, Law, And The Environment (Routledge), in which 10 experts from widely varied disciplines wrestle with the legal and ethical questions surrounding genetic modification. In addition to an introduction, Braverman contributed a major chapter in which she took an ethnographic approach to examining how gene scientists work and the ethical assumptions that underlie that work. “These are things that are not usually spoken about in the scientific community,” she says, and some interviewees hadn’t thought deeply about their own unstated assumptions. Braverman has also completed a writing fellowship she received from the Rachel Carson Center for Environment and Society, in Munich, Germany.

Honoring a Life’s Work THE LAW & SOCIETY ASSOCIATION, THE WORLD’S premier organization for the interdisciplinary study of law, has awarded Professor David Engel its highest honor, the Harry J. Kalven Jr. Prize, in recognition of his long and continuing work in cross-disciplinary legal study. Engel looks at how the legal system actually works in various societies, including our own – thinking about how custom, social norms and belief structures interact with black-letter law. He previously served as president of the Law & Society Association, and he has been a thought leader globally, working especially to build an international research network among scholars in the Pacific Rim countries. He is a founding co-editor of the Asian Journal of Law and Society. “The award is especially meaningful because this is the organization that really helped shape my identity as a scholar,” says Engel, who has taught at the School of Law since 1981.

‘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.”

A Bold New Environmental Option THE ENVIRONMENTAL LAW AND POLICY ANNUAL REVIEW, A YEARLY COMPETITION FOR SCHOLARS WRITING IN THIS IMPORTANT SUBJECT area, selected an article co-authored by Professor Jessica Owley as one of just four republished in the Environmental Law Reporter. Owley’s article, Enhancing Conservation Options: An Argument for Statutory Recognition of Options to Purchase Conservation Easements (OPCEs), first published in the Harvard Environmental Law Review, argues that state legislatures should integrate OPCEs into their conservation easement laws. Doing so, she says, would “do for OPCEs what conservation easement statutes have done for conservation easements: transform them into an essential multi-purpose tool for conservation in a changing world.” Owley’s winning article came about as part of a larger research collaboration about private land conservation and climate change. “I think generally that private land conservation mechanisms are going to be more popular,” she says, as environmentalists and their attorneys adjust to the policies of the current presidential administration.

Baldy Center Fellows in Interdisciplinary Legal Studies OUR 2017–18 POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWS Baldy Postdoctoral Fellows are highly promising scholars from a variety of disciplines who have completed or are pursuing their PhDs and/or JDs at other universities, but have not yet commenced tenure track positions. Chosen in an extremely competitive process, they carry out their scholarly projects with the full array of UB research resources and participate regularly in Baldy Center talks, discussions, workshops, and conferences.

HUGHETT’S RESEARCH DOCUMENTS THE efforts of civil liberties lawyers to secure procedural protections for inmates during the 1970s. Her work illuminates the limitations of individual rights claims in the postwar era while helping to explain why American prisons continue to punish more harshly than their counterparts in any Western country.

MCNAMEE’S SCHOLARSHIP, TITLED The Citizens’ Constitution, asserts that it is the responsibility of the citizens to directly participate in constitutional interpretation in certain roles—as voters and jurors, litigants and disobedients, partisans and deliberators. This theory sheds new light on the old idea of the Constitution as fundamental law.

OUR 2017–18 SENIOR FELLOWS Baldy Senior Fellows are accomplished academics and professionals, usually faculty members at other universities, who pursue intensive scholarly projects closely related to the mission of the Baldy Center. They utilize UB’s extensive research resources, participate regularly in Baldy Center events, and share their expertise with the larger Baldy community.

It is based on personal, theoretical, and practical accounts of the U.S. criminal justice system. The work builds on Demleitner’s comparative work in criminal justice, sentencing, and post-sentence collateral consequences.
