Fisher, ’97, has argued nine cases before the U.S. Supreme Court, and has more scheduled for argument during the Court’s 2008-09 term—all before he reaches age 40. “He’s very good at keeping his ear to the ground and getting cases that might work,” Michigan Law Professor Richard D. Friedman says of Fisher, who co-teaches the Supreme Court Litigation Clinic at Stanford Law School. Project for new facilities gets underway. 10 A new academic building and a new Law School Commons will mark Michigan Law’s first major expansion of instruction facilities since completion of the William W. Cook Law Quadrangle in 1933. The expansion reflects Law School and U-M leaders’ detailed planning and Washington, D.C.-based Hartman-Cox Architects’ experience in linking new design with revered existing buildings. The transformation of private practice. 16 Freedom to advertise, competition and commercialization, technological advances, globalization, the goal of diversity, and a host of other factors have transformed the practice of law and forced law firms and practitioners to struggle to keep up. How has legal practice changed, and where may it be headed? <br/> <br/>Description: Think again: The Geneva Conventions –Steven R. Ratner The following essay is based on the author’s article of the same name in the "Think Again" section of the March/April 2008 issue of Foreign Policy (pages 26-32). It is reproduced here with permission from FOREIGN POLICY, www.ForeignPolicy.com, #165 (March/April 2008). Copyright 2008 by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. The "Think Again" section of Foreign Policy seeks to educate readers by presenting and responding to common myths and conventional wisdom on important matters of international relations.; Law, economics, and torture –James Boyd White The following essay, which appears here with the permission of the University of Michigan Press, is the text of a talk given by Professor White at a conference held at the Law School last year, entitled "Law and Democracy in the Empire of Force." (An interview with White in which he discussed the conference appeared in the Spring 2007 issue of Law Quadrangle Notes on pages 27-28.) In more complete form the essay will appear in a book of conference proceedings, edited by Professor White and Professor Jefferson Powell of Duke Law School, to be published by the University of Michigan Press in early 2009. The participants at the conference were invited to speak about their own sense of the ways in which law and democracy have been changing in recent decades and what these changes mean. The phrase "empire of force" comes from a famous essay by Simone Weil on the Iliad, where she uses it to refer not only to brute force of familiar kinds, then and now, but more importantly to all the ways in which the habits of thought and expression at work in our culture tend to trivialize other people and deny their full humanity. http://hdl.handle.net/2027.42/58011 Title: Law Quadrangle Notes, V. 49.2, (Fall 2006) <br/> <br/>Authors: University of Michigan Law School; Hathaway, James C.; St. Antoine, Theodore J.; Stein, Eric <br/> <br/>Description: Refugees’ human rights and the challenge of political will –James C.
