Daniel Hulsebosch Daniel Hulsebosch explores the ways in which legal culture integrates societies across space and time. He has traced the expansion of legal norms throughout the British Empire, into the American colonies, and across the new states, bringing a new perspective to the field of English Legal History, which he will be teaching at the Law School this fall. “I try to discover how migration itself changed the way people understood what was meant by a constitution, as well as what they believed constitutions should provide and protect,” Hulsebosch says. Hulsebosch helped draft an amicus brief that was submitted to the Supreme Court in connection with a habeas corpus case from Guantanamo Bay. Signed by Law School Professor Michael Wishnie— the “motor force behind the brief ”—and almost two-dozen other legal historians, the brief analyzed the question of whether the founding generation would have believed that the writ of habeas corpus extended to the military base at Guantanamo Bay. The most important service that a legal historian can provide, says Hulsebosch, is to offer guidance to decision-makers about the implications of legal history for current practice. He has also done research and consulting in relation to Native American land claims, which require scholars to interpret treaties and patents that date from the colonial or early national period, and which must be analyzed in the context they were written. Hulsebosch wrote the book Constituting Empire: New York and the Transformation of Constitutionalism in the Atlantic World, 16641830, (University of North Carolina Press, 2003). He has also written articles on both Anglo-American constitutional history and 19th century private law. As a professor, Hulsebosch is known for his dynamic energy in the classroom. He was editor of the Law Review at Columbia University where he received his J.D., and received his A.M. and Ph.D. degrees from Harvard University.
Samuel Issacharoff Samuel Issacharoff, the Harold R. Medina Professor in Procedural Jurisprudence at Columbia Law School, applies a diverse set of disciplines to the law, including economics, psychology, political science and game theory. Issacharoff is a pioneer in the law of political process, and his casebook, Law of Democracy (Foundation Press, 2001), with
Richard Pildes and Pamela Karlan and articles in this field have contributed to the creation of a vibrant new area of constitutional law. Two of his most high-profile works, “Gerrymanders and Political Cartels,” Harvard Law Review (2002), and “Politics as Markets: Partisan Lockups of the Democratic Process,” Stanford Law Review (1998), with Richard Pildes, have been central to the evolving debate over democratic governance. Another article, “Governance and Legitimacy in the Law of Class Actions,” Supreme Court Review (1999), touches on the area of law that he will be teaching this fall at the Law School. A recently elected Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, Issacharoff also serves as the reporter for the newly created Project on Aggregate Litigation of the American Law Institute. He is a former clerk to the Honorable Arlin M. Adams of the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, and has also served on the Lawyers’ Committee for International Human Rights and the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law. Professor Issacharoff was editor of the Yale Law Journal, where he received his J.D. in 1983. He is currently finishing a book on civil procedure for the Foundation Press Concepts and Insights series. He is also in the nascent stages of a large project on the use of constitutions to consolidate democratic government in ethnically divided societies. He is excited to visit the Law School because it “clearly has established itself as one of the most interesting and vibrant centers for serious inquiry into the issue of how to stabilize democratic governance in complicated and diverse settings.”
