Two Justice Center professors to present at 2012 International Conference on Law and Society

Professors Jason Brandeis, J.D., and Cory R. Lepage, Ph.D., will present at the 2012 International Conference on Law and Society June 5-8 at the Hilton Hawaiian Village in Honolulu, Hawaii. The conference includes the joint annual meetings of the Law and Society Association and the Research Committee on Sociology of Law (International Sociological Association), and is co-sponsored by the Canadian Law and Society Association (CLSA), the Japanese Association of Sociology of Law (JASL), and the Socio-Legal Studies Association (SLSA), UK.



Professor Brandeis is part of a panel on "Perspectives on Privacy, Reputation and Constitutional Protection." He will present his paper, "The Continuing Vitality of Ravin v. State: Alaskans Still Have a Constitutional Right to Possess Marijuana in the Privacy of Their Homes" which discusses Alaska's unique personal-use marijuana laws that permit limited private marijuana use and possession.

Professor Lepage will participate as a panel member for "Role, Work, Reputation and Perception of Judges." His paper, "Legislative Changes to Justices of the Peace and Their Courts: A Comparative Analysis," examines the significant role that justices of the peace and their courts play in court administration and adjudication both in the U.S. and Canada.
