Justice and Society Program

Program Summary

For 30 years, the Justice & Society Program has worked to promote an understanding of, and adherence to, international human rights. During that time, we have led seminars to educate federal judges on human rights and humanitarian law. The expanded goal of the Justice & Society Program will be to enhance participatory democracy, focus and refine debate on issues that cross-cut law and social policy, and motivate participants to become citizen-advocates for reform in areas of wide societal concern.

Kenneth Feinberg at Georgetown on Executive Compensation and TARP: Finding Equity in a Third Rail Issue

Kenneth Feinberg, the Obama Administration's TARP executive compensation special master, describes his work setting the pay for 175 top executives at seven of the nation's largest companies, which have received hundreds of billions of dollars in federal assistance to survive. A well-known Washington lawyer and mediator whose last high-profile assignment was putting a financial value on the lives of victims of the 9/11 attack, Mr. Feinberg is deciding the pay for the top 25 executives at the American International Group, Citibank, Chrysler, Chrysler Credit, General Motors, GMAC and Bank of America, among others.
