Robert W. Kastenmeier

This lecture is supported by the fund established to honor Robert W. Kastenmeier, an outstanding graduate of the University of Wisconsin Law School, who served with great distinction in the United States Congress from 1958-1990. During his tenure, Congressman Kastenmeier made special contributions to the improvement of the judiciary and to the field of intellectual property law. He drafted the rules for the House Committee on the Judiciary that were used for the impeachment against Richard M. Nixon and drafted the articles of impeachment against Judge Harry Claiborne. In 1985, Kastenmeier received the Warren E. Burger Award, presented by the institute for Court Management, and the Service Award of the National Center for State Courts. In 1988, he was honored by the American Judicature Society with its Justice Award for his contributions to improving the administration of justice.

The Kastenmeier Fund was created to recognize these contributions by fostering important legal scholarship in the fields of intellectual property, corrections, administration of justice, and civil liberties. It is a fitting tribute to the leadership of Robert W. Kastenmeier in these areas.

2009 Kastenmeier Lecture

“Re-Imagining Criminal Justice:
Implications for Practice, Research and Teaching”

Prof. Walter Dickey, Director of Frank J. Remington Center
Prof. Cecelia Klingele, Visiting Assistant Professor
Prof. Michael Scott, Clinical Associate Professor of Law

Abstract:
The criminal justice system aims to administer justice and promote public safety. The principle means to achieve these objectives are the cycle of arrest, prosecution, conviction, and correctional treatment, with little emphasis on alternative means of securing social control. There are reasons to doubt the effectiveness of the conventional use of the system, to advance safety and achieve justice. At the very least, reliance on these traditional methods has placed overwhelming strain on criminal justice resources, communities and government coffers.

Wisconsin scholars have advanced and experimented with promising approaches that give new definition to public safety and justice, and how they are best advanced. The 2009 Kastenmeier Lecture will explore ideas that animate these approaches, and their implications for criminal justice professionals, research and teaching.

4:00 p.m. on Friday, November 13, 2009
