\"champ\"To open my month as faculty blogger, I would first like to thank my colleague Michael O\u2019Hear<\/a>, whose dedication to, and work for, the Marquette Faculty Blog since its creation last summer have been incredible.\u00a0\u00a0This is very much one of the major reasons why this project has been so successful and brought so many wonderful contributions to so many aspects of the law so far.<\/p>\n

Another fundamental area where the Marquette Law School faculty is also showing important contributions to the law is the production of scholarship that results in law review articles, book chapters, textbooks, etc.\u00a0 <\/span>We often present and discuss these works when they are still in progress in conferences around the country\u00a0with our colleagues in our areas at other schools.\u00a0 Still,\u00a0<\/span>to facilitate even further these very important discussions, the MULS Academic Programs Committee, led by Professor Chad Oldfather, <\/a>has organized two sessions of an\u00a0in-house Works-in-Progress Workshop for June and July.<\/p>\n

The June session was a great success. A group of eight of us met this past Wednesday\u00a0and presented our works-in-progress, from very rough to more completed drafts of scholarship, to our colleagues participating in the program.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

\u00a0In addition to the various presenters, Professor Paul Secunda <\/a>also provided participants with\u00a0helpful feedback. The topics and discussion on each of the drafts were\u00a0fascinating and brought us on a beautiful journey throughout many different areas of the law.<\/p>\n

Professor Phoebe Williams <\/a>opened the day by presenting a paper on \u201cAge Discrimination as a Barrier to the Provision of Health Care,\u201d in which she analyzes the Age Discrimination Act of 1975 and advocates for the creation of appropriate data collection and research models to effectively identify and redress those instances where advanced age is illegitimately considered by health care providers.<\/p>\n

Professor David Papke <\/a>then followed with a paper on \u201cLaw, Legal Institutions, and the Criminalization of the Underclass,\u201d which\u00a0represents one of the chapters of\u00a0 a planned\u00a0book\u00a0on\u00a0the analysis of the relationship between legal institutions and the \u201cunderclass\u201d in the United States.<\/p>\n

Also related to Criminal Law, Professor Greg O\u2019Meara\u00a0<\/a>presented a paper on habeas corpus review for state prisoners, <\/em>in which he\u00a0challenges the belief, almost taken for granted after passage of the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996, that habeas claims are ineffective.\u00a0 <\/span>Professor O\u2019Meara’s paper will be part of the Conference on Criminal Appeals<\/a>, which has been organized by Professors O\u2019Hear and Oldfather and will take place at Marquette Law School on June 15-16, 2009. The paper will also be published\u00a0in a special symposium issue of the Marquette Law Review<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The Workshop\u00a0continued with the presentation of Professor Vada Lindsey <\/a>on\u00a0the wrongs of the \u201cEarned Income Tax Credit.\u201d \u00a0<\/span>In this paper, Professor Lindsey criticizes the effectiveness of the EITC, particularly insofar as it fails to encourage saving by the working poor.<\/p>\n

Professor Lisa LaPlante\u00a0<\/a>followed with a presentation that brought us to a different dimension of the law:\u00a0international law. In her current project,\u00a0starting from the analysis of the conviction of former Peruvian President Fujimori, Professor LaPlante\u00a0considers the issue of\u00a0criminal accountability for wars on terror and human rights violations by heads of state.<\/p>\n

Professor Nadelle Grossman <\/a>then brought all of us back to our classrooms by discussing her current research project: how traditional law school teaching, which is based primarily\u00a0on case law, fails\u00a0in preparing students for transactional\u00a0practice. In her paper, Professor Grossman highlights the gap between the reality of legal practice and law school teaching, criticizes the lack of valuable materials for\u00a0teaching\u00a0transactional law and practice,\u00a0and calls upon law school curricula to bridge this very\u00a0important gap.<\/p>\n

Next, Professor Michael O\u2019Hear presented a draft of his article \u201cAppellate Review of Sentence Explanations: Learning from the Wisconsin and Federal Experience,\u201d which he will also present at the Criminal Appeals Conference and which will be published in the\u00a0symposium\u00a0issue of the Marquette Law Review<\/em>. In his paper, Professor O\u2019Hear\u00a0proposes a set of principles to guide the appellate review of sentence explanations in jurisdictions, such as Wisconsin,\u00a0that lack\u00a0mandatory sentencing guidelines.<\/p>\n

I then concluded the day with a\u00a0presentation\u00a0on \u201cThe Case for a Fair and Balanced Protection of Geographical Indications of Origin,\u201d which addresses the reasons why we should protect these \u201cnew\u201d types of intellectual property (which refer to names such as Prosciutto di Parma, Chianti, Bordeaux, Budwar Bier, or Idaho Potatoes) and the\u00a0limitations that should\u00a0apply\u00a0to these rights. Unfortunately,\u00a0I had no time to provide\u00a0tastes of the many (good quality) food and drinks I\u00a0mention in my paper!<\/p>\n

Thank you again, Professor Oldfather, for organizing such a great day of legal discourse and intellectual exchange at\u00a0Marquette Law School.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
