Nancy S. Marder, director of the Justice John Paul Stevens Jury Center at Chicago-Kent College of Law, has been selected as a senior fellow of the Baldy Center for Law & Social Policy. Housed at the University at Buffalo School of Law, the Baldy Center supports interdisciplinary research on law, legal institutions, and social policy.
Baldy Senior Fellows are accomplished academics and professionals, usually faculty members at other universities, who pursue intensive scholarly projects closely related to the mission of the Baldy Center. They utilize the University at Buffalo School of Law’s extensive research resources, participate regularly in Baldy Center events, and share their expertise with the larger Baldy community.
Professor Marder is spending the spring 2019 semester at the Baldy Center. During that time, she will finish her forthcoming book, The Power of the Jury: Transforming Citizens into Jurors, which will examine how every stage of the jury process—from voir dire to post-verdict interviews—helps to transform ordinary citizens into responsible jurors.
