UO School of Law honors legal scholar Robert R Mosteller, the 22 nd Wayne Morse Chair of Law and Politics, will give a series of talks beginning today Jillian Daley Family/Health/Education Reporter Respected legal scholar and Duke University law Professor Robert P. Mosteller has_ been chosen as the 22nd Wayne Morse Chair of Law and Politics. Mosteller will make the first in a series of public address es at 7 p.m. to day in Room 175 of the Knight Law Center. His lecture, called “New Dimen sions of Sentencing Reform in the Twenty-first Century,” goes well with the two-year focus topic for the Wayne Morse Center for Law and Politics, “Race, Class and the Crim inal Justice System.” This is one of the reasons the committee repre senting the center selected him, of ficials said. “We chose Professor Mosteller because of his deep interest in crim inal sentencing, victim rights and evidentiary issues in criminal jus tice, and particularly child abuse,” Wayne Morse Center Director Mar garet Hallock said. “He is a national ly renowned expert in criminal jus tice and sentence policy.” Mosteller’s speech today will fo cus on this core issue. “What I’m trying to identify in the talk are some of the factors that changed over five years ago, which make (sentencing) reform more positive,” Mosteller said. He said that these factors include falling crime rates, tight budgets and new ideas in sentencing theory. “I am interested in sentencing because it is an important end product of the criminal process,” "What I'm trying to identify in the talk are some of the factors that changed over five years ago/ which make (sentencing) reform more positive" Robert P. Mosteller Wayne Morse chair Mosteller said. “This is an impor tant time to take advantage of sev eral factors and think about positive changes in sentencing policy.” After a person breaks the law, there is a certain method to begin mending whatever damage has been done, he said. “There’s three elements that need to be restored when a crime is committed: the vic tim, the offender and the commu nity.” He was a law clerk on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Cir cuit, and during his clerkship he met his wife, who is also a law pro fessor. He was chief of the trial divi sion for the Washington, D.C., Pub lic Defender Service and co-wrote a book called “McCormick on Evi dence.” Mosteller received a bachelor’s degree in history at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1970, a law degree from Yale Law School in 1975 and a master’s de gree in public policy at Harvard’s John F. Kennedy School of Govern ment in 1975. Wayne Morse Center Community Coordinator Cheri Brooks said the center picks well-known scholars like Mosteller who are usually avant-garde mavericks with strong views in their field, in the tradition of Sen. Morse himself. Morse was one of two senators who voted against the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution in 1964, a move that involved U.S. troops in the Vietnam War, Brooks said. She added Mosteller’s experience and knowledge makes him worthy of being the Morse chair. “Every year, it’s a prominent scholar in the U.S.,” she said. Mosteller is taking the semester off from his professorship at Duke to teach a two-week seminar at the University School of Law. In addi tion to today’s talk, he is also sched uled to speak in Room 175 at the Knight Law Center at 5 p.m. Nov. 5, and from noon to 5 p.m. Jan. 10.
