We looked at the current state of affairs and explore various attitudes and issues affecting the Trans community. This included the idea that Trans women are not real women, held by a small segment of Radical Feminists.

Event Planning and Management

Mass Incarceration Conversation Series (MICS) Fall 2017 through Spring 2018 at NYU Silver School of Social Work MICS is a project at NYU Silver School of Social Work that aims to foster dialogue amongst people impacted by mass incarceration, social workers, clinical practitioners, policy makers, academics, community members, and people working at the various intersections of this critical phenomenon. The goal of MICS is to create a holistic understanding of mass incarceration that can ultimately inform practice and policy on clinical, micro and macro levels as it pertains to mass incarceration.

Wagner National Labor and Employment Law Moot Court Competition Spring 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, and 2016 at New York Law School Each Spring, the New York Law School Moot Court Association administers the Robert F. Wagner National Labor and Employment Law Moot Court Competition. For over forty years, as many as fifty schools from across the country have competed in this prestigious event. The Wagner Competition is the nation’s largest student-run moot court competition and the premier national competition dedicated exclusively to the areas of labor and employment law. The Moot Court Association sponsors this competition in honor of the late United States Senator, Robert F. Wagner, our distinguished alumnus.

Annual Charles W. Froessel Competition Fall 2012, 2013, 2014, and 2015 at New York Law School Each fall, the New York Law School Moot Court Association administers the Charles W. Froessel Intramural Moot Court Competition. The Froessel Competition is a rigorous recruiting program used by the New York Law School Moot Court Association to select its members. In addition, the competition provides students with the opportunity to display their advocacy skills. The competition is named in honor of NYLS alumnus Charles W. Froessel (Class of 1913), an Associate Judge of the New York Court of Appeals.

Storming the Court: 25 Years After H.C.C. V. Sale Friday, October 16, 2015 at New York Law School In the early 1990s, well before the War on Terror, Guantanamo Bay served as a detention camp for three hundred HIV-positive refugees who had fled a military coup in Haiti. In a remarkable human rights case chronicled in the book Storming the Court (Scribner) by Brandt Goldstein, law students at Yale and their professor, Harold Koh, sued the U.S. government for the Haitians’ freedom. The case, which ultimately involved Kenneth Starr, the Justice Department, the Pentagon, and Presidents George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton, went to trial in federal court in Brooklyn, resulting in the Haitians’ release – and the first ruling in history that aliens held at Guantanamo are entitled to constitutional due process. Almost 25 years later, with Guantanamo still looming large in the legal and foreign policy landscape, this symposium brought together the judge in the case, the Honorable Sterling Johnson, Jr. (E.D.N.Y.), Senator Christopher Coons (D-DE), Professor Harold Koh (former Legal Adviser at the State Department), government attorneys, human rights lawyers and advocates, private practitioners, and a number of the most prominent former students (now all human rights advocates, lawyers and/or academics themselves) to explore the enduring impact of this extraordinary litigation. http://www.nylslawreview.com/stormingthecourt/

Twenty Years of South African Constitutionalism: Constitutional Rights, Judicial Independence and the Transition to Democracy Friday, November 14, 2014 – Sunday, November 16, 2014 Co-Sponsors The New York Law School Law Review NYLS Impact Center for Public Interest Law – South Africa and the Rule of Law Project NYLS Center for International Law South Africa Reading Group South African constitutionalism has much to celebrate after its first twenty years, but also faces acute and disturbing challenges. We sought to understand both the achievements of past years and the difficulties that have emerged along the way. We explored, as intensively as possible, the question of law’s capacity to contribute to building an egalitarian, free society in South Africa – and by implication elsewhere. This symposium sought to generate an interdisciplinary encounter that is both wide-ranging and firmly focused on the persistent question of what law can accomplish and how. By bringing together a specially strong and diverse group of participants, for a sustained inquiry in large settings and small ones, formal and informal, over four days together, we believe that this symposium will generated an ongoing conversation about law’s connection to transformation that will be rich both intellectually and practically. We also see this symposium as a catalyst to renewed attention to South Africa here in the United States. We hope that this rekindling of interest will have potential benefits for South Africa, and Africa as well; we are confident it will also make a difference in the United States. South African constitutional law addresses the same sorts of issues as American constitutional law – but in even more complex and difficult circumstances – and American scholars, lawyers and law students can learn from South African efforts to achieve full freedom and equality. We hope, therefore, that this symposium served as a starting point for further teaching at U.S. schools about law in South Africa, and that it will stimulate interest by American scholars and students in seeing and experiencing South African law and society themselves. http://www.nylslawreview.com/southafrica/

Innovations in the Fight Against Human Trafficking: Perspectives and Proposals Friday, October 10, 2014 at New York Law School Co-Sponsors The New York Law School Impact Center for Public Interest Law Human trafficking has been high on the policy agenda for more than a decade at all levels of national and international governance, but helping the survivors of human trafficking, with or without policy change, is a daily concern for front line workers in the fight against human trafficking. Human rights advocates and law enforcers grapple with the implementation of new and old laws to protect victims and punish traffickers. Front line workers are the first to recognize the nature of social problems created by human trafficking and the first to understand the shortcomings of capacity and resources in the policies intended to remedy trafficking. The attorneys, NGO leaders, and front line agency

Page 7: Christie Cunningham Resume · W v ] } v v s ] } ^ l U µ o µ o } u v Ç Á ] Z : µ ] r/ v À } o À / v ] À ] µ o

staff members are often the most creative innovators of solutions to problems poorly understood at higher levels of government and politics. This symposium brought together leaders in front line problem solving and innovation to share knowledge, consider challenges and needed solutions, and to offer new ways forward. This Symposium, Innovations in the Fight Against Human Trafficking: Perspectives and Proposals, addressed human trafficking in its broadest meaning, as a form of exploitation growing from economic inequalities and both domestic and global migration to seek better work and a better life which has special risks for women and children. The organizers created this symposium to promote further discussion of human trafficking among front line workers from government, NGOs, philanthropies, the legal profession and others with specialized training or experience, as well as community-oriented private businesses, all of whom share the burden of seeking solutions and implementing policies related to trafficking. Contributions of the participants will be publicized through the Symposium website and published as a special issue of the New York Law School Law Review as cutting edge starting points for the next round of discussions about this important global problem. http://www.nylslawreview.com/humantrafficking/

Combating Threats to the International Financial System: The Financial Action Task Force Friday, April 25, 2014 at New York Law School In response to rampant international money laundering and terrorist financing, the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) was established to set international standards and promote the effective implementation of legislative and regulatory reforms. This symposium examined policy recommendations promulgated by FATF, their implementation at both state and federal levels, and their direct impact on legal professionals in the corporate, financial, and trusts and estates legal fields. This event was organized by the American College of Trusts and Estates Counsel (ACTEC), the New York Law School Center for Business and Financial Law, and the New York Law School Law Review. The symposium chairs were Professor William LaPiana, Director of the New York Law School Estate Planning, Graduate Tax Program, and Professor Houman Shadab, Co-Director of the New York Law School Center for Business and Financial Law. http://www.nylslawreview.com/fatf/

Process, Powers, and Lessons for the Future: 25 Years of New York City Charter Revisions Friday, February 8, 2013 at New York Law School 2013 marks nearly 25 years since the 1989 revisions of the New York City Charter that fundamentally changed the structure of the city’s government. Among other things, these revisions expanded the powers of the City Council, enhanced the Mayor’s executive powers, reshaped the duties of the Public Advocate (formerly the City Council President), and redefined the powers of the Comptroller and Borough Presidents. Several Charter Revision Commissions, established by Mayors Giuliani and Bloomberg, have since amended the Charter. This symposium: examined the allocation of powers under the 1989 charter, including how the Mayor, City Council, Public Advocate and others have exercised their powers in relation to each other and other participants in city government; drew lessons from the 1989-2010 Charter Revision Commissions; and discussed the future of NYC government, changes that may be needed to improve its structure and operations, and whether and how those changes could be achieved through revisions to the Charter. This event was sponsored by the Center for New York City Law at New York Law School and the New York Law School Law Review. http://www.nylslawreview.com/nyc-charter/

Freedom of Choice at the End of Life: Patients’ Rights in a Shifting Legal and Political Landscape Friday, November 16, 2012 at New York Law School The concept that individuals have the right to choose the manner and time of their death and the right to decline unwanted treatment has been a relatively recent development, as is the law that a person does not lose these rights upon incapacity. Individual rights are not uniformly recognized in practice, however, and there are many limits on when and how they can be enforced. This conference addressed a broad range of issues including impediments to honoring those rights, advance planning tools for persons to ensure compliance with their choices and how to enforce them, legislative and decisional developments, surrogate decision-making for patients whose wishes are not known, pain management and palliative care, hospice, aid in dying, ethical dilemmas in decision-making, medical ineffectiveness of treatment (“futility”), concerns of persons with disabilities, the effect of religion on law and policy, and how the media treats these issues. A Justice Action Center Symposium, cosponsored with the New York Law School Law Review and the Diane Abbey Law Center for Children and Families. Additional support provided by the American Bar Association Commission on Law and Aging; the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys; the Elder Law Section of the New York State Bar Association; Compassion and Choices of New York; and Collaborative for Palliative Care, Westchester/NYS Southern Region. http://www.nylslawreview.com/freedom-of-choice-at-the-end-of-life/

Supreme Court Narratives: Law, History, and Journalism April, 2012 at New York Law School The presentations at this symposium examine the U.S. Supreme Court with a particular focus on the relationship between U.S. Presidents and Chief Justices at critical times in American history. The event also celebrated the publication of FDR and Chief Justice Hughes: The President, the Supreme Court, and the Epic Battle Over the New Deal by award-winning author and Supreme Court historian James F. Simon, Dean and Professor Emeritus.

Trial by Jury or Trial by Motion? Summary Judgment, Iqbal, and Employment Discrimination February, 2012 at New York Law School The presentations at this symposium examine in-depth the application of Bell Atlantic Corp. v. Twombly and Ashcroft v. Iqbal in employment discrimination cases, analyze the high failure rates of plaintiffs on pre- and post-trial motions, and offer specific insights into the issues that impact judicial decisionmaking in these cases. The symposium was developed and co-sponsored with The Employee Rights Advocacy Institute For Law & Policy, and was dedicated to the memory of Robert Belton, Professor Emeritus of Vanderbilt Law School, who passed away in February 2012. Professor Belton was a founding member of The Institute’s National Litigation Strategy Project, and this symposium was his brainchild.

Visualizing Law in the Digital Age October, 2011 at New York Law School Law has entered the visual digital age. How truth and justice are represented and assessed in court (and out) increasingly depend on what electronic screens display. In this symposium, distinguished legal and social science scholars explore new approaches to legal scholarship and legal practice that illuminate and seek to work through the vicissitudes of visualizing law in the digital age. This symposium was sponsored by the Institute for Information Law & Policy at New York Law School, the New York Law School Law Review, and Cardozo Law School.
