“It hasn’t done it very well,” UC Berkeley [lecturer] Stephen Rosenbaum says. “Every time an incident like this occurs, it raises the question, what should we be doing? There are no easy answers.”

“The clinic will consist of lectures, they’ll learn some skills, learn how to draft laws, learn how to work with media anytime they do legislation, learn Qatar laws, they will learn about research skills and strategizing. Plus they’ll learn a little bit of background of domestic violence and probably a little bit of Sharia, they’ll have some guest speakers. There will be classroom sessions and practical experience.”

Rosenbaum said the current crop of law students began the project as a way to support the protest movement on campus but got mired in a protracted disciplinary process. “Like any good lawyers, they learned to work within that process to advocate for their clients,” he said.

Stephen Rosenbaum, a lecturer at the UC Berkeley School of Law who was appointed to speak for Wolf during the hearing, contended that DiMartino did not warrant immunity because his role was “educational,” not judicial.

“While we understand the privacy and employment-related due process protections afforded an employee … an equitable or effective process should inform the complainant of the investigation’s anticipated corrective action beyond a vague ‘taking appropriate personnel action,’” Rosenbaum stated in the complaint.

“The courts must be models of accessibility, open to all, including children, and they must accommodate persons with disabilities.”

“The protracted nature of these proceedings is one more indication that the student conduct code—both its text and implementation—is in need of repair,” said Stephen Rosenbaum, a lecturer at the law school who has represented student activists in the past, in an e-mail. “Any potential educational or judicial value of the process is obscured by the delay.”

“I am surprised that he has not been terminated or transferred to an administrative position,” Rosenbaum said. “And I’m not satisfied that he remains on campus.” Rosenbaum appealed the district’s finding of inappropriate behavior, only to receive what he called a “terse and dismissive” letter from Superintendent Bill Huyett denying his appeal.

Stephen Rosenbaum, a staff attorney for the advocacy group Disability Rights California, said in a statement: “I once heard Paul introduced as the ‘ James Dean’ of disability studies. That captures the combination of intellectual, rebel and down-to-earth man he was.”

“I would rather” that the resolution “happened sooner, and we need to continue to be vigilant,” said Steve Rosenbaum, Ms. Miller’s lawyer and a lecturer at Boalt Hall School of Law at Berkeley who has been advising many of the student activists. “But it is definitely good news.”

“I think it’s a warning to students that their form of protest will not be tolerated and that they must check their constitutional rights at the campus gate,” said Steve Rosenbaum, a law school lecturer advising the students.

“There’s a specialized set of case law regulating what a university can do,” explains Christopher Kutz, chair of the UC–Berkeley academic senate. “It’s not a criminal process.… It’s a different kind of entity.” Kutz says the academic senate has been following the student conduct cases and will be sitting down with the Center for Student Conduct to ensure that university policies comply with both the law and fairness.

Rosenbaum, who is taking on Bowin and other students’ cases pro bono, helped revise the code of student conduct 30 years ago when he was attending Berkeley’s law school…. “These students were guinea pigs,” Rosenbaum says. “It’s going to make them think twice before participating in any kind of lawful protest, and I think that’s part of the message the university was trying to send.”

“Both of these students were served a notice of interim suspension. They’re identical notices, which were also served on the UC Davis students,” said Rosenbaum. “And it recites about six sections of the UC campus code of student conduct and then almost no facts in support of it.”

“The only evidence was that he was arrested,” Rosenbaum said. “They did not make a case that he was so dangerous that he could not be on campus.”

“Lawyers to the government owe their client an honest appraisal of the law, as informed by statutes, court cases and international treaties and norms—not a tortured interpretation that the end justifies the means,” said Stephen Rosenbaum, a Berkeley law lecturer.

-Berkeley law school Dean Christopher Edley has … [said] … in a public statement that the university would carefully review the Justice Department’s internal ethics investigation findings regarding the authors of the torture memos upon its release.

-Berkeley law school lecturer Stephen Rosenbaum said he was looking forward to Tuesday’s panel. “Recent national studies have chastised law schools for offering curriculum that is short on professional skills and values,” he said. “This initiative appears to be a serious effort by Boalt students to examine ethical and policy issues in a conventional format—presentations by scholars and practitioners.”

-Berkeley Law spokesperson Susan Gluss told the Daily Planet that students were allowed to form whatever group they wanted at Boalt. “It could be to discuss all sorts of controversial issues—political, international, medical—UC Berkeley is the home of the free speech movement and we are a critical part of it,” she said.

Responding to the public outcry on Yoo’s first day of fall classes, law school Dean Christopher Edley sent an e-mail to students and faculty outlining why disagreeing with “substantial portions of Professor Yoo’s analyses”—which he said was how most, though not all, of his colleagues at Berkeley felt—was not enough “to fire or sanction someone.”

Stephen Rosenbaum, a lecturer at the UC Berkeley law school, told the Planet that … it is “clear that law students are eager to discuss the ethical consequences of giving a classroom podium to a professor who has notoriously used his legal skills to justify a public policy that runs counter to all reasonable interpretations of constitutional and international law.”

“The independence of the judiciary, indispensable for the Rule of Law, is a permanent endeavor that requires the active participation of all segments of the society,” he told the audience. Mr. Rosenbaum’s presentation generated a lively discussion on the relevance of the idea of an independent judiciary for a country like Cameroon.

“One can argue about the appropriateness of someone teaching in a law school who has expressed those interpretations of the law,” Rosenbaum said.

“The dean is always mindful of the interplay between academic freedom, which is the right to express an opinion no matter how vile or odious, and the need for law professors to abide by the highest ethical and professional standards,” Gluss said.

“I do not believe that the memos are professionally adequate statements about the law, nor did the Justice Department—they repudiated all the memos written by John Yoo,” [Kutz] said.

“Given his long history of very good teaching and his prolific but controversial scholarshipֽ I can’t imagine dismissal unless and until there is a criminal conviction and direct appeals are exhaustedֽ” Edley said in an e-mail.

“Members of the UC academic community have an obligation to speak outֽ” Rosenbaum said. “Academic freedom and due process are principles that must be respectedֽ (but) they do not trump moral outrage.”
