Judge Gertner will share her reflections on addressing bias and structural inequality in and out of the courtroom. She will discuss the ethical responsibility of judges to consider the racial impact of their procedures, behavior, and decisions, drawing from her efforts both while serving as a federal judge and as an advocate. Her comments will include a description of her efforts to account for racialized police practices in her assessments of prior criminal records, along with her efforts to obtain relief from some of the sentences she imposed as a federal judge. She will speak about the significance of judges calling attention to racial bias and racial inequality in the courtroom and in the justice system more broadly.

Professor Fionnuala Ni Aolain, Regents Professor and Robina Chair in Law, Public Policy, and Society at the University of Minnesota Law School, will deliver the 2024 Bernstein Lecture in Comparative Law, which will address the consolidation and expansion of counter-terrorism norms and institutions since 9/11. The rise of counter-terrorism has enabled the consolidation of autocracy, sustained democratic backsliding, and undermined the capacity of civil society to function across the globe. The impact on human rights has been extensive and highly detrimental to the most vulnerable individuals and groups across the world. Drawing on Professor Ni Aolain's work as United Nations Special Rapporteur on Counter-Terrorism and Human Rights since her 2017 appointment, the lecture will show the hard choices that must be made nationally and globally to reverse these trends. The Annual Bernstein Lecture in Comparative Law honors Professor Herbert L. Bernstein, who was a member of the Duke Law faculty from 1984 until his death in 2001, and the many contributions he made to Duke Law School and the legal community.

Lecture titled: The Rise of Counter-Terrorism and the Demise of Human Rights

The Child Advocacy Lab course is a unique opportunity to join a dynamic, collaborative learning environment bringing medical and law students to the forefront of child advocacy. Students will engage in team projects and conduct research related to current child advocacy issues, with particular focus on recent changes in mandated reporting laws that have greatly affected all professionals working with children.

There is significant lack of understanding between the fields of medicine and law, as well as missed opportunities to advocate for children’s rights and improved health outcomes. The lessons learned from working cooperatively with other disciplines will directly translate to enhance career skills for interdisciplinary practice.

This course is taught by Associate Clinical Professor Crystal Grant, who also directs the Children's Law Clinic at Duke Law.
