	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.

	Emma Rothschild received an M.A. at Oxford University in 1967 and was associate professor of humanities and associate professor of science, technology and society at Massachusetts Institute of Technology for ten years. She was a Fellow of King's College in Cambridge and the director of its Centre for History and Economics 1991-2007. She moved to Harvard University in the summer of 2007 where she is now a professor of history. Among the leading historians of the Enlightenment, Dr. Rothschild's scholarly work focuses on the history of European economic ideas. She established herself as one of the most important writers on economics and technology when she published her first book, Paradise Lost: The Decline of the Auto-Industrial Age (1973), in which she foretold the decline of the American auto industry by tracking the history of its rise and fall. Dr. Rothschild's other books include Science and Technology in the New Socio-Economic Context (1981) and Economic Sentiments: Adam Smith, Condorcet and the Enlightenment (2001). In the latter, which established her as one of the leading historians of the Enlightenment period, Dr. Rothschild explored misunderstandings of early and modern theorists of free trade with regard to the belief that economic order would arise out of an unregulated environment. More than many other scholars of economic thought, she has shown the wide range of ideas that Smith produced, revealing the many sides of his analysis of the world economy. Over the last 25 years Dr. Rothschild has served on numerous boards and committees in academia, research, and public policy in the United Kingdom and the world at large. She is also co-editor of The Rise and Fall of Historical Political Economy. Her current projects include a short book on anxiety and colonial administration in France; "The Inner Life of Empires," about an adventurous family in 18th-century Scotland; and a book about the East India Company and the American Revolution.
