Christopher Edley, Lucy Buchanan in San Francisco Chronicle, November 14, 2012
The organizers of the 100th anniversary gala of Boalt Hall—UC Berkeley’s law school—made good use of this knowledge when they hired Buchanan to organize their big party, in Pauley Ballroom on Friday night. The speeches were witty: Cryogenics might make it possible for alums to be around for the 200th anniversary, said Dean Chris Edley, but “the longer you stick around the more time you’ll be asked to contribute.”

“Why are we talking about whether she’s old enough, or too old, to do it? This is a long-standing kind of narrative. Men get more distinguished; women just get old and decrepit. These are things that don’t get talked about when men are the subjects. We talk about their actions, their policies, their perspectives, not about their pantsuits or their hairstyles.”

Chris Hoofnagle … said he hoped the data would set a baseline, providing all sides in the debate with empirical information as to the optimum method to regulate tracking. “I’m hoping that it will inform which approach is the best,” Mr. Hoofnagle said. “We are not going to be well-served unless we measure these trends more rigorously.”

“It’s difficult for both Americans to understand the intensity of the issue [religious defamation] and for Muslims in the Arab world, and outside the Arab world, to really understand our government’s role in controlling this kind of [free] speech.”

The group will publish its results by the end of 2013 in an effort to prevent premature incarcerations in the future, according to Silbert. “The criminal justice system assumes there will be some level of error, but no one looks at where these errors are coming from or what is happening to the people on the receiving side of these errors,” Silbert said.

“Will he be more pugnacious and more willing to swing for the fences on domestic issues, judicial appointments and so forth?” asked Christopher Edley Jr., a dean of the law school at the University of California, Berkeley, and a longtime Obama friend who has been disappointed at times. “You can react to a narrow victory by trimming your sails, or you can decide ‘What the hell, let’s sail into the storm and make sure this has meant something.'”
David Onek quoted in The Daily Californian, November 6, 2012
“My support for President Obama is completely separate from my employment with the UC,” said David Onek, a lecturer at the UC Berkeley School of Law and the top individual donor to the re-election campaign from the UC…. “I can’t speculate why the UC has so many Obama supporters,” said Onek. “But it’s clear that this election is crucial for all of us.”

Stephen Sugarman, a UC Berkeley law professor who teaches tort law, said such a line of defense “seems entirely implausible.” “Indeed, if the district sticks to this sort of hardball tactic it could well backfire and increase both the likelihood of the defendants being found liable and the amount of damages awarded against them,” Sugarman said, adding that it also could taint the district’s reputation in the community.

“Students will discover that when they become alumni, they will take any opportunity to come back and visit,” said Christopher Edley Jr. ’73, Dean of UC-Berkeley Boalt School of Law and speaker of the highlight of the weekend, the McCabe Lecture entitled “Creating the K-16 Education System American Needs.”
