The term “she does it all” may have been made for Hadar Aviram.  Hadar is a law professor at University of California, Hastings in San Francisco. She specializes in criminal justice, civil rights, law and politics, social movements, and animal rights. She is the former president of the Western Society of Criminology and a member of the Board of Trustees for the Law and Society Association. Hadar is the author of three award-winning books, and another [examining the COVID-19 catastrophe in California's prisons and jails] is forthcoming. Hadar's work has been extensively featured in the media, and she is a frequent analyst and commentator on criminal justice and prison conditions.   Hadar has written about open rescue and direct action for farmed animals. During her research fellowship at Harvard's acclaimed Animal Law & Policy Program, Hadar analyzed the legal and political strategies of activists who enter factory farms and rescue sick and dying animals. Recently, she advised, and was a defense witness for, the defendants in Utah's Smithfield Trial, in which a Southern Utah jury found two activists NOT GUILTY of rescuing two piglets from a Smithfield facility. Hadar is a whole food, plant-based endurance athlete.  She has successfully escaped from Alcatraz 20 times. Hadar also ran the Oakland Marathon and regularly commutes with her son on a cargo bike. When not working, agitating, or training, she hangs out with her partner, 5-year-old son, and two cats.

Criminal law scholar Hadar Aviram, who testified on my behalf at the Smithfield trial, joins me in a conversation about power, corruption, and her theory that some of the greatest wrongs in life are caused by people acting in fear.

Hadar is the Thomas Miller Professor at UC Hastings College of the Law and an expert on criminal law. And the things she has discovered in the course of her research – for example, “pay to stay” schemes whereby prison inmates are forced to pay for their own incarceration, after they are released – have changed the way many view our system of criminal justice. But while Hadar has exposed all manner of corruption and injustice, to me, she has been a source of hope. This is true of her personal life, where she's managed to balance an incredibly intense academic job, risky activism, and raising a child in a historically difficult moment in human history. It's true of her academic and legal work, which has provided crucial support to the movement of open rescue – and also quite possibly saved my own legal license, when the industry attempted to have me disbarred. The most important source of hope, however, comes from her philosophy on life – that human beings, at root, are good and decent beings, and that truth has the ability to correct our flaws to create a better world for everyone.Hope should be a hard thing to maintain, when you're in a position like Hadar's – appreciating in deep detail the many injustices that our society ignores. But Hadar offers some tips in this podcast on how to do just that.

Hadar Aviram—legal scholar, author, and human and animal rights activist—is the Thomas Miller Professor at UC Hastings College of the Law. She holds law and criminology degrees from Hebrew University of Jerusalem and a Ph.D. in Jurisprudence and Social Policy from UC Berkeley, where she studied as a Fulbright Fellow and a Regents Intern. Hadar specializes in criminal justice and civil rights from a socio-legal perspective. Prior to her illustrious career as one of the world's premier scholars and media commentators on criminal justice, Hadar worked in the trenches as a public defender in Israel. In this episode, Wayne and Hadar talk about the national reckoning over police brutality and racism; the culture of toxic masculinity permeating police departments; the science behind pervasive implicit bias and tribalistic tendencies that develop in the first few years of our lives; and the moral licensing that helps us justify our bad behavior. How do we solve this? Well, there may be no magic bullet, but Wayne and Hadar reveal some key steps we can take—as individuals, as societies—to move us in the right direction. “There is no one thing that is a magic bullet that is going to fix the horrors that we're seeing in American streets.” “We're all marinating in stereotypes.” Judge Richard Posner Hadar's most recent book (2020) - Yesterday's Monsters: The Manson Family Cases and the Illusion of Parole Hadar's book (2019) - The Legal Process and the Promise of Justice Hadar's first book (2015) - Cheap On Crime Recession: Era Politics and the Transformation of American Punishment Just Babies: The Origins of Good And Evil - Paul Bloom (2014) Identity Crisis: The 2016 Presidential Campaign and the Battle for the Meaning of America - John Sides, Michael Tesler, and Lynn Vavreck (2018) Music by Moby: Everything That Rises

There's a massive outbreak of COVID-19 at San Quentin Prison. Almost 2,000 prisoners are positive and more folks have died of COVID-19 in custody than in a century of execution. What is going on? How did this happen? Could it have been prevent and what's been done to stop the spread of the virus in our prisons? How will the virus inside the prison affect life and the spread outside the prison? Dr. Hadar Aviram, a criminal justice activist and law professor is leading the charge to address the outbreak in San Quentin. She's coming to the lavender couch to discuss what's going on.

Gavin Newsom and the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation announced a plan to release about 8,000 people from California prisons because of the COVID-19 outbreak. State officials are starting to act, but some advocates and activists statewide have been publicly warning authorities for months. Without decisive action, state prisons could become mass graves. Closer investigation shows the tricky terrain between curbing the pandemic and avoiding public controversy.

In this episode, Hadar Aviram, Professor of Law at UC Hastings Law, discusses her new book, "Yesterday's Monsters: The Manson Family Cases and the Illusion of Parole," which is published by the University of California Press. Aviram begins by describing how parole works in California. She explains why she decided to study the parole hearings of Charles Manson and the members of the Manson Family. She reflects on the Manson family's experience with the parole board. And she argues that it should help us see why we need to reform the parole process.

What do the grizzly Manson murders tell us today about long-term prison sentences? How do we regard people who commit violent crimes?   Aaron Freiwald, Managing Partner of Freiwald Law and host of the weekly podcast, Good Law | Bad Law, is joined by Professor Hadar Aviram, of the University of California Hastings College of Law, to discuss punishment and parole, as well as Hadar’s new book on the subject, Yesterday’s Monsters: The Manson Family Cases and the Illusion of Parole.   In today’s episode, Aaron and Hadar talk about the criminal system, the notion of parole, social science, empathy, public opinion on punishment and more. Using the Manson Family murders to illustrate these ideas, Hadar and Aaron consider the flaws of our system, the origins of parole and whether or not violent offenders are redeemable. Hadar’s new book offers a perspective on extreme punishment, examining the infamous murders committed by Charles Manson and his “family” of followers. Through 50 years of parole transcripts, Hadar argues that these high-profile cases helped institutionalize severe criminal penalties and transformed our understanding of parole in general.   Who decides if these criminal offenders are worthy of a second chance? And, how?   Professor Aviram specializes in criminal justice, civil rights, law and politics, and social movements. Her research­­ employs socio-legal perspectives and methodologies. Hadar publishes, teaches, and speaks on domestic violence, behavioral perspectives on prosecutorial and defense behavior, unconventional family units, animal rights, elder abuse, public trust in the police, correctional policy and budgeting, violence reduction, theoretical trends in crime and punishment, and the history of female crime and punishment. One of the leading voices nationwide against mass incarceration, Professor Aviram is a frequent media commentator on politics, immigration, criminal justice policy, civil rights, and the Trump Administration.

"Every criminal trial is a competition between the prosecution and the defense. The judge has relatively less dominant role than in other countries and a lot of times, we have the guilt and innocence of people decided by juries, unless of course there's a plea bargain. This means prosecutors are crucially important because they're the ones who decide whether a case is going to go through, and what shape that case is going to take." - Hadar Aviram, Professor of Law, UC Hastings This week on Life of the Law, our team met up in the studios of KQED to talk about the law, moral luck, and prosecutorial discretion in America.
