Footnotes

I am honored to write a commentary on Valerie Hans's Presidential Address, I heard the address while seated not far from a table full of cheering Argentinians who are in the midst of advocating for, launching, and supporting a nascent jury system in the several provinces that Professor Hans describes. As she writes, through sometimes-unexpected circumstances and invitations, Professor Hans has engaged with these and other collaborators and has set up lasting institutions that support and encourage the spread of lay participation in legal decision making. Working alongside in-country leaders and scholars, and capitalizing on mechanisms within the Law and Society Association, Valerie Hans is literally changing the world in this area.
