Whitman\, Ford Foundation Professor of Comparative and Foreign Law at Yale Law School; Jed Shugerman\, professor of law at Fordham University; and Magda Teter\, Shvidler Chair in Judaic Studies\, about Whitman’s book Hitler’s American Model: The United States and the Making of Nazi Race Law. \nWhitman’s timely book explores how American race law provided a blueprint for Nazi Germany. Nazism triumphed in Germany during the high era of Jim Crow laws in the United States. In Hitler’s American Model\, Whitman demonstrates the impact race laws in the United States\, such as Jim Crow\, anti-miscgenation laws\, and laws concerning American citizenship\, had on the notorious Nuremberg Laws\, the centerpiece anti-Jewish legislation of the Nazi regime. Linking American race laws to the shaping of Nazi policies in Germany\, Hitler’s American Model\, as Brent Staples noted in The New York Times\, “illustrates how German propagandists sought to normalize the Nazi agenda domestically by putting forth the United States as a model.” \nHarvard’s Lawrence Tribe praised the book as “a profound testament to what the past can teach us about the present.” Foreign Affairs called Hitler’s American Model one of the “Best Books of 2017.” According to Tulane’s Lawrence Powell\, Whitman’s book “is one of the most engrossing and disturbing pieces of legal history.” \nThis is a joint event of Fordham University’s Center for Jewish Studies; Fordham Law’s Institute of Religion\, Law\, and Lawyer’s Work; and the Center for Jewish Studies at CUNY-Graduate Center\, in collaboration with the New York Public Library and the Leo Baeck Institute.

Can spiritual teachings remain meaningful even when rigorously codified? Can a modern state be governed by such law? \nSpeaker: Chaim N.

Why? What Now?: Clergy Sexual Abuse in the Catholic Church DESCRIPTION:A distinguished panel of speakers will reflect on the ongoing Catholic clergy sexual abuse crises from their particular scholarly and professional vantage points—psychology\, law\, theology\, religious journalism\, and ethics. This conversation is especially timely in light of the recently released Pennsylvania Grand Jury report and a wider spate of revelations in the United States and around the world about clergy abuse and its concealment. By asking three fundamental questions—”What?” “Why?” and “What now?”—this event seeks to contribute to well-informed and effective responses by and from Catholics\, citizens\, and all who are impacted by this reality.

But when the marriage was created via an Orthodox Jewish wedding\, the conflict is magnified to its highest level. That is because Jewish law requires that an Orthodox Jewish wedding be terminated not only by civil law\, but also by a Jewish divorce\, called a Get. Without a Get\, the parties are not considered divorced—and the consequences\, especially for a woman\, are life-altering. \nFollowing the first Agunah Summit\, which highlighted the legal-religious solutions to this problem\, and the second Agunah Summit\, which dealt with various institutional aspects\, this third Agunah Summit will explore the dynamics created by the implementation of Jewish religious divorce laws in the fields of sociology\, economics\, law\, and ethics\, and address the broad influence of these dynamics not only on the Get-refused Agunah but on the divorce settlements of all Jewish women whose marriages are terminated under religious law. \nThis event is sponsored by Fordham Law School’s Institute On Religion\, Law and Lawyer’s Work\, the faculty of law at New York University\, and the Center for Jewish and Democratic Law at Bar Ilan University.

Drawing on newly discovered documents\, legal texts\, poems\, and plays\, Dynes will reflect on the experience of a generation of Jews who\, in the wake of Poland’s partitions (1773–1795)\, experienced the shift from living under Polish feudal-like rule to being subject to an imperial state and its laws. Dynes will explain how literature then emerged as a means to popularize strategic knowledge about the law\, extract new forms of political experience\, and reflect on the relationship between the legal and the moral. The Emerging Voices in Jewish Studies Award is presented jointly by Fordham University’s Jewish Studies program and Columbia University’s Institute for Israel and Jewish Studies to promising young scholars who are treading new paths in Jewish studies.

When they remain in their own groups\, they tend to communicate only with those who hold similar views.\nThis has a profound effect on all of our relationships and our society as a whole. \nThe media has certainly contributed to this development; but can it also help reverse it? Living City is bringing together media professionals to discuss this challenge and invites people from all walks of life to look for possible positive developments.

DESCRIPTION:At work\, at school\, or whenever we turn on the computer\, we seem to be barraged by a host of difficult questions\, and the sense that daily life is permeated by deep disagreement with others\, even in our families and communities. \nVarious forms of media seem to heighten the sense of talking “past” each other and that it is close to impossible to understand one another across these cultural\, social\, religious and political differences. \nIs it possible to dialogue even when our conversations turn to difficult questions and areas of strong disagreement? \nHow can we maintain our principles and vision of what is good for our communities and for our society in the midst of these difficult and painful tensions? How can we build open\, loving\, trusting relationships\, even when we disagree? \nThis workshop aims to explore these questions and to help students to develop and refine the listening and dialogue skills that can foster constructive\, respectful and open communication even across profound difference. \nSpeakers:\nAmy Uelmen\, Lecturer\, Georgetown University Law Center\nCharlie Camosy\, Fordham Associate Professor\, Department of Theology \nVisit law.fordham.edu/lawreligion for more information\nIgnatian Week event: www.fordham.edu/cm URL:https://now.fordham.edu/event/dialogue-difficult-questions-can-we-understand-each-other/ LOCATION:Fordham Law School\, Room 4-09\, 150 W 62nd St.\, New York\, NY 10023\, New York\, NY\, 10023\, United States ORGANIZER;CN="Institute on Religion%2C Law%2C and Lawyer's Work":MAILTO:lawreligion@law.fordham.edu GEO:40.7769059;-73.9800645 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Fordham Law School Room 4-09 150 W 62nd St. New York NY 10023 New York NY 10023 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=150 W 62nd St.\, New York\, NY 10023:geo:-73.9800645,40.7769059 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20160919T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20160919T213000 DTSTAMP:20250428T195632 CREATED:20160829T150512Z LAST-MODIFIED:20160829T150512Z UID:10005685-1474313400-1474320600@now.fordham.edu SUMMARY:Dialogue Across Difference in a Polarized America: Should Americans Confront Public Disputes with Relationship or Hate?

It will also compare tort theory to modern Western theories. \nTwo speakers will present the details of the rulings relating to tort and seek to establish a rational\, systematic legal theory that allows for a full presentation and overview of Maimonides’ comprehensive conception of tort law\, its objectives\, and its foundations. This includes several surprising points of similarity between the theories of leading North American scholars and between significant elements of the Maimonidean theory that was conceived eight hundred years ago in Egypt. \nThe lecture will comprise a thoughtful dialogue between the speakers and one of the pioneers of the field of economic analysis of law\, the Honorable Guido Calabresi. \nSpeakers \nProfessor Yuval Sinai\nProfessor of Law\, Netanya Law School\nSchusterman Visiting Professor of Law\, Yale University (2013–2015) \nProfessor Benjamin Shmueli\nAssociate Professor of Law\, Bar-Ilan University\nSenior Research Scholar\, Yale Law School (2013–2015)\nResponder \nJudge Guido Calabresi\nUnited States Court of Appeals Judge for the Second Circuit\nFormer Dean of Yale Law School URL:https://now.fordham.edu/event/wolff-lecture-2016-a-contemporary-view-on-the-maimonidean-tort-theory-law-religion-economics-and-morality/ LOCATION:Costantino Room\, Fordham Law School\, 150 West 62nd Street\, New York\, NY\, 10023\, United States ORGANIZER;CN="Institute on Religion%2C Law%2C and Lawyer's Work":MAILTO:lawreligion@law.fordham.edu GEO:40.7715478;-73.9849293 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Costantino Room Fordham Law School 150 West 62nd Street New York NY 10023 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=Fordham Law School\, 150 West 62nd Street:geo:-73.9849293,40.7715478 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
