Professor Bala Presents at Stanford Faculty Forum

Professor Nila Bala was invited to participate in the prestigious Harvard/Stanford/Yale Junior Faculty Forum held in June at Stanford Law School.

Bala presented the paper “Parent-Child Privilege as Resistance.” Stanford Law Professor George Fisher served as commentator.

Rotated among the three law schools each year, the forum features no more than 20 junior faculty. Papers are chosen through a blind submissions process.
