This is Chai (though his name tag says Chia- oops!). He is a handsome, sweet, social 5 year old boy. We adopted him from Milo Foundation when he was around 2. He is the Mayor of Josephine Street and has made friends with all the neighbors. You may find him lounging on any front porch when you come home from work. Nicknames include: Bop, Snooky and Waddles McQuack. Chai wants to go to Cal when he graduates high school. Go Bears!

Meet Hannah. She’s a 14-year old wire hair dachshund, and those are not eyebrows on her head. They are little devil horns. Hannah is the matriarch of the household and reminds her family — moms, Marty Grenhart and Linda Savinelli; and siblings, Cinnamon, Rico, and Petey — of that fact every day. She is stubborn, but very loving, and is adept at sniffing out treats of all kinds. In this shot, she managed to get into the pantry while we were gone and binged on whatever she happened to find there, including a large bag of pine nuts. We now have childproof latches on the pantry door.

So, we all know how awesome Montie is, but you might not know that our international partners in Central and South America call him San Montie (Saint Montie in English.) The International Human Rights Law Clinic has a current case in Honduras, and when we encountered a variety of technical issues relating to privacy concerns, Montie stepped up and came up with creative solutions for some pretty complicated problems. It got to the point that when a new problem arose, our partners would just say, “Llame a San Montie” (call Saint Montie) and when the call was made morning, noon, or night, Montie would answer and prove his worthiness for sainthood. We are so lucky to have him here at the Law School!

Name: Richard Buxbaum
Title: Emeritus professor since 2011, but on partial teaching recall
Department: Faculty
When I started working here: July 1, 1961
What I do in ten words or so: I was the first director of the Earl Warren Legal Institute (1968-75) and second Dean of International and Area Studies, UCB (1991-98).
Something you don’t know about me: I was one of five defense counsel for the Free Speech Movement (FSM) defendants in 1965. I lost 773 cases in one blow, thus destroying a pretty good U.S. Army Defense Counsel record. But I couldn’t let that stand, so also was counsel for campus anti-Vietnam War and Third World Strike efforts, somewhat mitigating the won-loss balance.
If I could have any job in the world (besides the one I have now) it would be: An art curator’s job and life seems pretty good, provided it included travel.
Moral for today’s problems: Someone has to continue these efforts but why should it be me.
