Professor David Oppenheimer (@thediversitydetective) and a group of J.D. and undergraduate Legal Studies students recently submitted an intervention — the European term for an amicus brief — in a case against the nation of Georgia now before the European Court of Human Rights. Working with a feminist organization in Georgia and the Equality Law Clinic at the Free University of Brussels, the group wrote a brief on behalf of a woman who had been charged with defamation after accusing her supervisor of sexual harassment. “It’s a common problem around the world,” says Oppenheimer, who leads the Berkeley Center on Comparative Equality and Anti-Discrimination Law and is also the co-faculty director of @berkeleylawprobono. He wrote a brief, again with students, in a similar case before the Supreme Court of Japan in 2021. His most recent book, 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘋𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘗𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘪𝘱𝘭𝘦: 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘚𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘺 𝘰𝘧 𝘢 𝘛𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘐𝘥𝘦𝘢, was published earlier this year.
