Levi on Roll in the National Law Journal

Duke law dean David Levi, who served as Chief United States District Judge for the Eastern District of California prior to his appointment as dean in 2007, has an article in yesterday’s National Law Journal on Chief Judge John Roll of the District of Arizona.  Judge Roll was shot and killed as he stood in line to see Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords in a shopping center parking lot in Tucson a year ago. Levi uses the instance as an example of the informal relations between judges and legislators, which he argues is “the every day job of making democracy work.”
