Jennifer Chacón

Professor of Law

Jennifer Chacón was awarded her J.D. from Yale Law School. After graduation, she served as a law clerk to the Honorable Sidney R. Thomas, U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. From 1999-2003, she was an attorney with Davis Polk & Wardwell in New York City. She teaches Criminal Law, Criminal Procedure and Immigration Law.

She says, "Identifying the conduct that is criminalized within a society and determining the manner in which that society chooses to protect its criminally accused and those convicted of crimes provides an interesting way to assess the nature and strength of that society's commitment to democratic institutions. My research interests center upon the nexus of criminal law and procedure and more general issues of citizenship. I hope to contribute to the scholarship that both examines and advances the quest to build more perfect democracies, protective of the rights of all people."

Diane Marie Amann

Professor of Law

"The law's awesome power resounds in the clang of theprison door closing on a man or woman convicted of crime.

"As lawyers and future lawyers, we must strive to use that power inmanners fair and just to victim, to defendant, and to society. Globaltechnological advances and mounting fear of crime confound this effort. We needto reexamine what behavior we consider criminal, to ask anew its causes, toquestion the extent to which a government may police crimes beyond its borders.We must review what kinds of evidence, what methods of proving guilt, weconsider appropriate. Finally, we must rethink what we hope to achieve bypunishment and thus adjust how, and how long, we punish.

"These issues stirred me in my practice as a criminal defense attorney andin my service with two distinguished members of the federal judiciary. I nowenjoy exploring them with students and colleagues."

Floyd F. Feeney

Homer and Ann Berryhill Angelo Professor of Law and Director of the LL.M. Program

B.S. History, Davidson College, 1955
J.D., New York University, 1960
Special Interests: Criminal Justice, Election Law
"Students often experience emotions when they open and see chapters headed 'murder' or other heinous crimes in their criminal law casebooks for the first time. The actual practice of criminal law, however, is not always as it is portrayed in novels and film," said Floyd Feeney. "Criminal law in the real world is dramatic and fascinating, but it is also very human," said Feeney. "The victims of crime have real blood and real injuries and defendants are complicated human beings. Some are wholly innocent, some are guilty but themselves victims, and others have life histories that are as sad as the harm they cause their victims." The criminal lawyer must often try to make sense of "wildly conflicting stories and mind-boggling gaps in information," Feeney said. He or she must deal sympathetically with victims, witnesses and defendants, and above all, translate the abstractions of the law into something juries can readily understand. "Criminal law presents superb opportunities to serve as a trial attorney in the courtroom, as a guarantor of basic liberties and as a creator of a better society."


Floyd Feeney is the Homer and Ann Berryhill Angelo Professor of Law and Director of the LL.M. Program. He is a graduate of Davidson College (B.S. History 1955) and the New York University School of Law (J.D. 1960). At Davidson, he served as President of the Student Body. At the NYU Law School he was a Root-Tilden Scholar, editor-in-chief of the law review, and received the Sommer Award as outstanding graduate for 1960.

A former law clerk for U.S. Supreme Court Justice Hugo Black (1961 Term), he served as Deputy Special Counsel for the President's Committee on Equal Employment Opportunity (1962-63), Special Assistant to the Administrator of the Agency for International Development (1963-1966), and Assistant Director, President's Crime Commission (1966-67).

He came to UC Davis in 1968 as Professor of Law. From 1968 until 1986, he also served as Executive Director of the Center on Administration of Criminal Justice. During 1983-84, he was Director of the London Office of the Vera Institute of Justice.

The author of seven books and numerous articles, he has received awards from the National Insitute of Justice and the California Probation, Parole, and Correctional Association. A Fulbright scholar at the University of Augsburg (Germany) in 1995-96, he has taught and lectured in China, Germany, Italy, Japan, Mexico, and the United Kingdom. His consulting and evaluation projects include work for the National Institute of Justice, the National Center for State Courts, the British Home Office, the California Legislature, the American Bar Association's European and Eurasian Law Initiative, the Police Foundation and numereous individual criminal justice agencies. In 2000-2001 he served as legal advior to the Speaker's Commission on the California Initiative Process.
