Perhaps the world's leading scholar of law and the Internet, Lawrence Lessig is an expert on the effects of new digital technologies on traditional assumptions about copyright and constitutional law. His dazzling contributions to public debate about the balance between ownership of intellectual property and freedom of ideas extend beyond the academy. Author of three pioneering books and numerous articles on ideas and innovation in cyberspace, he is also the founder of Creative Commons, an international consortium of artists, scholars and writers who agree to allow others to use their work more broadly than ordinary copyright permits. In updating his now-classic book, Code and Other Laws of Cyberspace, he invited readers to contribute to the editing process itself, expanding the definition of a commons from physical space to the world of ideas.
Lessig was a Professor of Law at Stanford Law School and founder of the school's Center for Internet and Society before he was appointed professor of law at Harvard Law School and director of the Edmond J. Safra Foundation Center for Ethics at Harvard 2009 to 2015. He is currently Roy L. Furman Professor of Law and Leadership at Harvard Law School. Dr. Lessig previously served on the faculty of Harvard Law School, where he was the Berkman Professor of Law, and he has also taught at the University of Chicago. Professor Lessig earned a BA in economics and a BS in management from the University of Pennsylvania, an MA in philosophy from Cambridge, and a JD from Yale. He clerked for Judge Richard Posner on the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals and Justice Antonin Scalia on the United States Supreme Court. Professor Lessig represented web site operator Eric Eldred in the ground-breaking case Eldred v. Ashcroft, a challenge to the 1998 Sonny Bono Copyright Term Extension Act.
Professor Lessig is the author of The Future of Ideas (2001), Code and Other Laws of Cyberspace (1999), Free Culture (2004), Republic, Lost: How Money Corrupts Congress - and a Plan to Stop It (2011), and America, Compromised (2018). He serves on the board of the Free Software Foundation, the Electronic Frontier Foundation, the Public Library of Science, and Public Knowledge. He is also a columnist for Wired.
Lessig has won numerous awards, including the Free Software Foundation's Freedom Award, and was named one of Scientific American's Top 50 Visionaries, for arguing "against interpretations of copyright that could stifle innovation and discourse online." He is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and was elected a member of the American Philosophical Society in 2007. | |

David R. Mayhew: I have been watching and trying to understand American politics since I was eleven or so. I remember the vote in my elementary school homeroom in 1948 in which Truman beat Dewey by 17 to 6. Later I came to realize that that was roughly a religious census of my Connecticut village with the Catholics voting one way and the Protestants the other. I started collecting newspaper and magazine articles about politics in 1950. I kept a choice Saturday Evening Post article, for example, telling how Everett Dirksen won his Illinois Senate seat that year. Only recently have I heaved out most of this material. At age seventy I am downsizing my possessions. Once in college I enlisted in political science quickly. It was at Amherst College in 1954. As a first-semester freshman I took a political science course replete with seniors and juniors where I earned a C+. This was not a good beginning. But I kept at it under the tutelage of Earl Latham, Karl Loewenstein, Dick Fenno, George Kateb and others, wrote a senior essay addressing the enactment of the Civil Rights Act of 1957, and then went on to a Ph.D at the Harvard Government Department. There I was lucky enough to work with Louis Hartz, Sam Beer, Bob McCloskey, and, as my dissertation advisor, V.O. Key, Jr. All of these figures had a vigorous interest in history. I grew into that interest too, and I pursued it at Harvard in courses taught by many of the American history specialists there at that time-Frank Freidel, Arthur Schlesinger, Jr., Oscar Handlin, and Bernard Bailyn. The roots of American policymaking is probably as good a tagline as any for my core interest as a professional academic. I have pursued that interest in a variety of writings at UMass/Amherst in the 1960s and at Yale University starting in 1968. A taste for simple statistics, time series, and history has gone into those writings. Parties, elections, institutional configurations, individual initiative, public moods, wars, and events in general have figured as routes to explanation or at least, I hope, illumination. Although not all that consciously, I probably followed V.O. Key, Jr., more than anyone else in developing this package of tendencies. Another powerful intellectual influence, though, was the Yale Political Science Department of the 1970s. From Robert Dahl and others I learned that a book could consist of a decently worked-out argument centering on rational action and could be short. In that spirit that I crafted a 1974 work, Congress: The Electoral Connection. If members of Congress are posited to be single-minded seekers of reelection, I asked, what might the consequences be for institutional structure and policy? I came back to the model of a short, worked-out argument book in a 2002 work, Electoral Realignments: A Critique of an American Genre. Yet starting in the 1986 I have also written works based on complicated time-series datasets that I spent a good deal of time and energy collecting and processing. In Divided We Govern (1991, since updated) I explored the consequences for legislative production of having unified as opposed to divided party control of the U.S. national government. There hasn't been a great deal of difference. Under divided party control have come, for example, the Taft-Hartley Act of 1947, the Marshall Plan in 1948, the Federal Highway Act of 1956, the Clean Air Act of 1970, the Reagan tax cuts of 1981, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, and the Iraq Resolution of 2002. In America's Congress (2000), I took a look at individual initiative engaged in by members of Congress from the days of James Madison in the early 1790s-as he spurred a House-based opposition to Alexander Hamilton-through the days of Edward Kennedy and John McCain. Lately I have investigated the role of events, notably wars, in generating policy and electoral change. Currently I am aiming toward a short book on U.S. separation of powers. With the often clanking relations between Senate, House, and presidency, why doesn't the American system fall apart? | |

Elinor Ostrom's pioneering scholarship, for which she won the 2009 Nobel Prize in Economics, provided a compelling framework for understanding collective action, resource management, property rights, and institutional design. Her work reached across disciplinary lines to deal with some of society's most vexing social problems - poverty, inequality, and sustainability - combining game theory, laboratory experimentation, field study, and institutional analysis. Her seminal publication, Governing the Commons, notes that rational choice theory predicts that without external intervention people will over-use common pool resources (CPRs) such as fisheries or irrigation water. In fact, many communities manage their commonly shared resources collectively. Through field research from Nepal to Mexico to Los Angeles, she explored successful and unsuccessful CPR institutions, offering a theory of institutional choice that has fundamentally changed how social scientists think about collective action, institutional choice and self-governance. This work shows how people can resolve dilemmas of collective action without external coercion. Scientifically, she triggered a productive dialogue between formal theorists and empirical field researchers, and she applied her analytical approach to an ever-wider set of immediate practical problems and human experiences around the globe. From 1973 to 2009 Dr. Ostrom was the Co-Director of the Workshop in Political Theory and Policy Analysis at Indiana University, then served as the Senior Research Director until her death. Additionally, she had been the Arthur F. Bentley Professor of Political Science at Indiana University since 1973. She recevied a Ph.D. from the University of California, Los Angeles (1965). In 2010 she was awarded the University Medal from Indiana University and the rank of Distinguished Professor. Elinor Ostrom died on June 12, 2012, at the age of 78, in Bloomington, Indiana. | |

Lucien W. Pye, Ford Professor of Political Science Emeritus at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, was one of the nation's leading authorities on comparative politics, and especially on the politics of Asian countries, particularly China. A former president of the American Political Science Association (1988-89), Professor Pye was a political scientist whose speciality had been the comparative study of political cultures and political psychology. His works have illuminated the manner in which the fundamental impulses of Asian cultures find reflection in contemporary Asian political developments. A major theme of his research is the impact of modernization on traditional Asian societies. With intellectual roots in anthropology, psychology, and psychoanalysis, as well as political science, Professor Pye has compared in numerous published works the political behavior and political cultures of Asian nations.
He had been an advisor on foreign affairs to the United States government, both the executive branch and Congress, and he was a member of many organizations concerned with U.S.-Asian relations. He made a major contribution in shaping the direction of scholarly research on Asia in the United States.
Professor Pye served on the influential Committee on Comparative Politics of the Social Science Research Council from its founding in 1955 and was chairman of the Committee from 1963-72. He was a trustee of the Asia Foundation from 1963-2004, a member of the board of directors of the Council on Foreign Relations from 1966-82, and director of the Council's China Project. He had been a member of the executive committee of the Asia Society, chairman of the Advisory Board of the Universities Service Centre in Hong Kong, and member of the Board of Governors of the East-West Center in Honolulu. As Vice-Chairman of the National Committee on U.S.-China Relations, Professor Pye made numerous trips to China since the resumption of diplomatic contacts between the U.S. and China in 1971. Lucian Pye was born in 1921 in Shansi province, China. He attended the North China American School near Beijing. In 1943 he received his B.A. from Carleton College. During World War II he was an officer in the U.S. Marine Corps. He completed graduate studies at Yale University, receiving his M.A. degree in 1949 and Ph.D. in 1951. From 1949-52 he was an instructor and assistant professor at Washington University in St. Louis, and in 1951-52 he was a research associate in International Relations at Yale University. From 1952-56 he was a research associate in the Center for International Studies at Princeton University. Professor Pye joined the MIT faculty in 1956. In 1958, under the auspicies of the MIT Center for International Studies, he undertook field work in Burma in order to research the cultural and psychological sources of the country's problems in political development. During the 1960's, he conducted field work in Hong Kong, Vietnam, the Philippines, Korea, Indonesia, and India. In 1955-56 he was visiting lecturer at Columbia University, and in 1959-61 visiting lecturer at Yale. On retiring from MIT he was a visiting professor at George Washington University in 1993, at the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy in 1994, and at Balliol College, Oxford University in 1995. Since 1990 he has been an associate in research at the Fairbank Center, Harvard University. Dr. Pye has been elected to membership in the American Philosophical Society and the American Academy of Arts & Sciences. Before his presidency he was earlier elected vice-president and a member of the Council of the American Political Science Association. He has been a member of the board of the Association of Asian Studies. From 1963-67 he was a member of the selection committee of the Foreign Area Fellowship Program, and since 1975 he has been on the selection board of the Luce Scholar program. Professor Pye was a recipient of the Wilbur Cross Medal of the graduate school of Yale University, the Harold D. Lasswell Award at the International Society of Political Psychology, and membership in Phi Beta Kappa. He received the Auxiliary Research Award for the Social Science Research Council. And in 1963-64 he was a Fellow of the Center for the Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences at Stanford, California. Professor Pye was the author/editor of 27 books. Lucian Pye died September 5, 2008, in Boston after a long illness. He was 86. | |

Judith Resnik is the Arthur Liman Professor of Law at Yale Law School, where she teaches courses on procedure, large-scale litigation, federal courts and federalism, feminist theory and transnational equality laws. Prior to joining Yale, she was the Orrin B. Evans Professor of Law at the University of Southern California Law Center. She has also been a visiting professor at New York University, Harvard University, the University of Toronto, and the University of Chicago Law Schools. Professor Resnik is a graduate of Bryn Mawr College and New York University School of Law, where she held an Arthur Garfield Hays Fellowship.
Throughout her career, Judith Resnik has helped to shape understandings of how the federal judiciary increasingly functions as a corporate body, with multiple tiers and kinds of judges who are often managerial in their efforts to encourage settlement in lieu of adjudication. Her work in this field demonstrates the increasing privatization of courts, analyzes the forces producing this trend, and proposes interventions to preserve the public dimension of adjudicatory processes. In addition to books for students such as Adjudication and its Alternatives: An Introduction to Procedures (co-authored with Owen Fiss, 2003) and Processes of the Law: An Introduction to Courts and Their Alternatives (2003), she is the author of the chapter Civil Processes in The Oxford Handbook of Legal Studies (eds. Peter Cane & Mark Tushnet, 2003). She recently coauthored a book for the general public with Dennis Curtis entitled Representing Justice (2010), which gives an overview of the historical representations of justice. Representing Justice won the Scribes 2012 Book Award, two PROSE Awards for Excellence, and was named an Outstanding Academic Title by Choice Magazine. Her articles include Trial as Error, Jurisdiction as Injury: Transforming the Meaning Article III , 113 Harvard Law Review 924 (2000); and Managerial Judges, 96 Harvard Law Review 374 (1982). Her work has also prompted her to become one of a few American scholars thinking about the cultural import of government construction of courthouses and about the iconography of justice.
Professor Resnik also brings her interest in feminist theory to discussions of federalism. She has helped to illuminate how assumptions about the roles of women and men have influenced the allocation of authority to state and federal systems in the United States (e.g. her essay Categorical Federalism: Jurisdiction, Gender and the Globe, 111 Yale Law Journal 619 (2001) and have affected the openness of American law to transnational equality movements.
Professor Resnik pursues her projects in both their theoretical and their practical dimensions. She has chaired the Section on Procedure, the Section of Federal Courts, and the Section on Women in Legal Education of the American Association of Law Schools, has served on committees of the American Bar Association, and was a consultant to the Institute for Civil Justice of RAND. She was instrumental in persuading members of the federal judiciary to undertake studies of the effects of gender, and she served as a member of the Ninth Circuit Gender Bias Task Force which, in 1994, was the first in the federal system to report on data collected by judges and lawyers in the nine states comprising the circuit. Professor Resnik has testified many times before congressional and judicial committees, including before the subcommittee of the Senate Judiciary Committee regarding the Senate's role in the nomination process and before a committee of the Canadian House of Commons about how to select Supreme Court justices. She is also an occasional litigator and court-appointed expert. Currently, she is a member of the American Law Institute's project on Aggregate Litigation and a managerial trustee of the International Association of Women Judges.
At Yale, Professor Resnik organized a conference on Women, Justice, and Authority. She is a co-chair of the Women's Faculty Forum, a university-wide group aimed at fostering scholarship about gender and community for women at Yale. She is also the founding director of the Arthur Liman Public Interest Program and Fund, which provides fellowships to Yale Law School graduates and summer stipends to undergraduates at Yale, Brown, and Harvard, and which supports seminars and programs on public interest law for law students.
Professor Resnik has been honored by the National Association of Women Judges, and she has received the Margaret Brent Women Lawyers of Achievement Award from the American Bar Association. The American Bar Foundation named her its Outstanding Scholar of the Year in 2008. She is a member of the American Law Institute and the American Academy of Arts & Sciences. She was elected a member of the American Philosophical Society in 2002. | |

Katzenbach Professor of Law at Yale Law School, where she has taught courses in constitutional law, antidiscrimination law, legal history, and transnational equality law. Her writing draws on legal history to explore questions of law and inequality and to analyze how courts interact with representative government and popular movements in interpreting the Constitution. In her writing on antidiscrimination law, she has shown how challenges to a status order may lead to "preservation through transformation,: in which laws enforcing race or gender status evolve in rule structure and rhetoric as they are contested; antidiscrimination law that fails to adapt legitimates inequality. See, for example, Why Equal Protection No Longer Protects: The Evolving Forms of Status-Enforcing State Action, 49 Stan. L.Rev.1111 (1997); "The Rule of Love": Wife Beating as Prerogative and Privacy, 105 Yale L.J. 2117 (1996); and more recently, Conscience Wars: Complicity-Based Conscience Claims in Religion and Politics, 124 Yale L.J. 2516 (2015) (with Doug NeJaime). Her theoretical and practical writing in constitutional law is attentive to the interaction of social movements and other popular interpreters of the Constitution with judges and other state officials; her work shows how constitutional conflict helps steer constitutional development and helps promote the attachment of those who may be deeply estranged from official pronouncements of the law. See, for example, Community in Conflict: Same-Sex Marriage and Backlash, 64 U.C.L.A. L. REV. 1728 (2017); The Supreme Court, 2012 Term - Foreword: Equality Divided, 127 Harv. L. Rev. 1 (2013); Dead or Alive: Originalism as Popular Constitutionalism in Heller, 122 Harv. L. Rev. 191 (2008); The Right's Reasons: Constitutional Conflict and the Spread of Woman Protective Antiabortion Argument, 57 Duke L.J. 1641 (2008); Roe Rage: Backlash and Democratic Constitutionalism, 42 Harv.C.R.-C.L. L. Rev. 373 (2007) (with Robert Post); Constitutional Culture, Social Movement Conflict and Constitutional Change: The Case of the de facto ERA, 94 Cal. L. Rev 1323 (2006); Equality Talk: Antisubordination and Anticlassification Values in Constitutional Struggles Over Brown, 117 Harv. L. Rev. 1470 (2004); and She the People: The Nineteenth Amendment, Sex Equality, Federalism, and the Family, 115 Harv. L. Rev. 947 (2002).

Wade: Voices That Shaped the Abortion Debate Before the Supreme Court’s Ruling (with Linda Greenhouse, 2012); The Constitution in 2020 (edited with Jack M. Balkin, 2009); and Directions in Sexual Harassment Law (edited with Catharine A. MacKinnon, 2004).
