2) Big Ideas Courses

Big Ideas Courses

In spring 2013 we are launching the Big Ideas Courses in a big way. We have five all-new courses on offer, each taught by at least two faculty members from completely different disciplines. This multi-disciplinary approach is what makes the Big Ideas courses special. These new courses have yet to be reviewed for breadth, but they are so exciting that they may fill up fast, so I wanted to make sure you know about them now, before students start enrolling.

The courses are listed on the attached poster, and details are at?http://bigideascourses.berkeley.edu. I sent each of you a hard copy of this poster in time for fall 2012 TeleBEARS, because we also had one fall course. If your copy is no longer posted and you want another, please let me know and I will mail you one.

Thanks for helping to promote this new liberal-arts program!

Berkeley Law?s Dean Christopher Edley, Jr. will sit down with 9th Circuit Court of Appeals Chief Judge Alex Kozinski and the former Chief Justice of the Israeli Supreme Court Dorit Beinisch for a conversation about the role of courts in 21st century democracies. The speakers will address topics including elections, national security, technology, religion, gay rights, immigration, globalization, and more.

Judges will compare and contrast how different courts address these issues, highlight unique aspects of judging in California and Israel, describe the challenges of the adjudication process, and touch upon their personal paths to a career in the judicial branch of government.

Time at the end will be reserved for a question and answer session with the judges. Please RSVP to ensure a seat.

Catered reception begins at 5:00 pm,
Main program begins at 5:45 pm.

Booth Auditorium
Berkeley Law
2778 Bancroft Way
Berkeley, CA 94720

Distinguished guests:

Chief Judge Alex Kozinski currently serves as Chief Judge on the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. An engaging and entertaining speaker, Chief Judge Kozinski has presided over challenges to the death penalty, and served on a panel of judges which ruled a federal crackdown on California?s medical-marijuana laws unconstitutional.

Dorit Beinisch served as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Israel from September 2006 until February 2012, where she presided over some of Israel?s most hotly-contested legal battles. Her judgements protected unempowered groups from human rights abuses, instituted disciplinary measures against offenders convicted for sexual harassment, and overturned a law exempting ultra-Orthodox seminary students from army service.
