Description
The American Bar Foundation (ABF) offers the William H. Neukom Fellows Research Chair in Diversity and Law as a year-long visiting position for an outstanding scholar with a distinguished record in law and the social sciences. The Chair pursues their own empirical research while participating in the ABF’s expanding diversity and law research program.
The program takes a broad view of diversity and law. Research interests include diversity within the legal profession and other institutions of justice, and its impact on legal processes, legal institutions, and public policy. It also encompasses the roles of race, gender, disability, and sexuality in legal institutions and processes, including how legal processes interact with inequalities associated with these dimensions. These topics are not exhaustive.
