Greetings from the CGLP
 Another
academic year is in the books, and this year the CGLP marked a number
of important accomplishments, including crossing the $300,000 mark in
scholarship money for student internships since we began the Milton
Stewart Fellows Program in 2010. We also hosted terrific guests who
spoke on economic liberalization, comparative law, and lawyers working
in emerging markets. Center faculty published their research in a wide
array of important outlets, presented their work across the globe, and
engaged the profession at the local, state, national, and international
levels. And we deepened our professional relationships with colleagues,
partners, and educational institutions in key markets, such as
Argentina, Brazil, China, India, Japan, Korea, Nigeria, Taiwan, and
Thailand. Below are just some of the most recent highlights since our
last newsletter in December. Have a great and productive summer. Best wishes, Jay Krishnan
Professor of Law, Charles L. Whistler Faculty Fellow

Recent faculty research and scholarly activities
Kenneth G. Dau-Schmidt
has written a piece entitled "Labor Law 2.0: The Impact of the New
Information Technology on the Employment Relationship and the
Relevance of the NLRA" (forthcoming in the
Emory Law Journal), which explores the
implications of new information technology for the workplace, the
interpretation of the National Labor Relations Act, and the continuing
evolution of American labor policy.
Charles Geyh
delivered the keynote address at the annual meeting of First Circuit
Judicial Conference in Boston, entitled "The Changing Landscape of the
American Judiciary." He published a book chapter, "The Use and Abuse of
Empirical Arguments in Support of Normative Arguments on Judicial
Selection," in MAKING LAW AND COURTS RESEARCH RELEVANT (Bartels &
Bonneau, eds. 2015). And he gave a talk at the Marquette University Law
School about his forthcoming book on judicial politics, COURTING PERIL: THE POLITICAL TRANSFORMATION OF THE AMERICAN JUDICIARY (forthcoming, Oxford University Press).
William Henderson is currently working on a cover story for the ABA Journal
on the rise of legal operations in legal departments, law firms, and
NewLaw legal entrepreneurs. The story focuses on commonalities across
the three practice settings: greater reliance on data, process, and
technology to drive up quality and lower cost and delivery time, and
what the rise of "legal ops" means for legal education.
Ethan Michelson
recently presented a paper entitled "Divorce in Rural China: A New
Source of 'Missing Females'" at Northwestern University's Department of
Equality Development and Globalization Studies (EDGS).
Mark Need
recently returned from Seoul, working to extend a memorandum of
understanding between Maurer and Sungkyunkwan University. In the first
five years of the partnership, 11 JD/MBA students passed through the
program, including four Maurer students on the ground in Seoul now, and
four applicants who will begin the program this fall. The Maurer-SKKU
program gives students the opportunity to earn a JD from Maurer and an
MBA from SKKU, considered one of the leading business schools in the
world.
Margaret Reuter
and Joanne Ingham have authored "Experiential Education and our Divided
Campuses: What Delivers Practice Value to Big Law Associates,
Government Attorneys, and Public Interest Lawyers?" 22
Clinical L Rev. (forthcoming fall 2015).
Carole Silver
continues her research on the global market for legal services. She has
turned to Korea to explore the role of U.S. educational credentials in
the lawyer hiring markets occupied by elite Korean and U.S. law firms.
Silver and coauthors Professor Jae-Hyup Lee of Seoul National University
and Jeeyoon Park, formerly of the American Bar Foundation, draw on
an original dataset developed from the professional profiles of lawyers
working in two groups of potential competitor law firms: elite
Korean-based firms and a group of US-based firms with Korea-focused
practices situated in Hong Kong. Prof. Silver also is continuing her
work investigating the experiences of international students
enrolled in US law schools.
Jeffrey Stake (with Michael Alexeev) has authored "Who Responds to U.S. News & World Report's Law School Rankings?," which will be published in a forthcoming edition of the Journal of Empirical Legal Studies.
Carwina Weng
and Reuter are publishing a chapter in the externship textbook entitled
LEARNING FROM PRACTICE. Their chapter is titled "Navigating
Cultural Difference." (forthcoming, West, 2015).
