SUMMARY:Elizabeth Hillman: “Sworn to Protect:  Sexual Assault in the Military”
DESCRIPTION:UC Santa Cruz / UC Hastings Social Justice Speaker Series presents Elizabeth Hillman\n“Sworn to Protect: Sexual Assault in the Military” \nFew legal issues have riveted public attention more than sexual assault in the military. This presentation will address the controversies that have erupted over a problem that is often misunderstood and rarely reported. Should commanders control the decision to prosecute? Should each branch of service retain its own investigators\, prosecutors\, defense counsel\, and appellate court? What is the impact of providing legal counsel to victims? How should we evaluate legal outcomes? \nThis talk will examine this unique challenge to the nature of the American military justice system; the effect of gender dynamics and demographics; and best practices and prospects for improving the response systems to sexual assault in civilian and military arenas. Join the conversation at #UCsjss \nOPEN TO THE PUBLIC\nPlease register by visiting: http://3plus3.ucsc.edu/sjss\n$5 ticket includes parking*\nThere are a limited number of free tickets available to UCSC Students. These UCSC student tickets can be picked up in person at the UCSC Ticket Office\, which is located at the Theater Arts Center. \n1 unit of MCLE credit\, Elimination of Bias in the Legal Profession\, will be provided. \nAbout Dean Elizabeth Hillman:\nDean Hillman serves on the Response Systems Panel (RSP)\, an independent panel authorized by Congress in 2013 to study and make recommendations regarding the investigation\, prosecution\, and adjudication of military sexual assault\, and is the chair of an RSP subcommittee asked to compare civilian and military systems of responding to adult sexual assault. She is also a director of the National Institute of Military Justice\, a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting fairness in\, and public understanding of\, military justice worldwide\, and co-legal director of the Palm Center\, a public policy research institute that played a key role in ending the “don’t ask/don’t tell” policy of discriminating against gay men and lesbians in the U.S. armed forces. \nAbout the Social Justice Speaker Series:\nThe UC Hastings Social Justice Speaker Series is a product of the collaboration between UC Hastings College of the Law and UC Santa Cruz.

SUMMARY:Morris Ratner: "A Monument Man in the Courtroom: Litigating the Holocaust"
DESCRIPTION:UC Santa Cruz will present a lecture by UC Hastings College of the Law Professor Morris Ratner titled “A Monument Man in the Courtroom: Litigating the Holocaust\,” on Monday\, April 7\, at 7 p.m.\, at UCSC’s University Center. \nProfessor Morris Ratner successfully prosecuted Holocaust-era private law claims against Swiss\, German\, Austrian\, and French entities that profited from Nazi atrocities by retaining dormant bank accounts\, failing to pay on life insurance policies\, and benefitting from the use of slave labor. Ratner’s litigation resulted in a series of settlements that\, together\, yielded payments in excess of $8 billion to victims of Nazi persecution. Using Holocaust litigation as a lens\, this lecture explores the topics of “what ‘justice’ means for victims of major atrocities like the Holocaust\, the role of private litigation in advancing social causes\, and the ability of individual advocates to prevail on behalf of victims in seemingly lost causes.” Ratner’s discussion of “social justice lawyering” also addresses the question: “Did it matter whether the lawyers in the Holocaust cases were–like the victims–Jewish\, Gay\, or Romani?” \nWatch the Video\n\nMorris Ratner joined the UC Hastings Faculty in 2012\, after teaching at Harvard Law School. An expert in civil procedure\, legal ethics\, and law practice management\, Ratner’s research explores ethical\, procedural\, and organizational questions that arise in multi-party actions\, including class actions and multidistrict litigations. Ratner worked as a litigator at the San Francisco-based plaintiffs’ firm Lieff\, Cabraser\, Heimann & Bernstein\, LLP\, where he was a partner for 10 years. During that time he prosecuted product liability\, mass personal injury\, consumer\, and human rights actions. \nPlease join us for this inaugural lecture in the Hastings Social Justice Speakers Series given by Hastings faculty at UCSC. The Series is a product of the UCSC-Hastings collaboration that also features the “3+3 BA/JD” Program which enables UCSC students to complete the BA and JD degrees in six\, rather than the usual seven\, years by attending both UCSC and Hastings College of the Law. \nAdmission is free and the public is invited\, with pre-registration encouraged to ensure a seat in the event of a sold out event. \nQuestions: Please call Kristin Palma at 831.459.5075\, or e-mail kpalma@ucsc.edu.
