The most striking civil justice transformation in the last thirty years is that the typical civil case in a state court has gone from being a lawsuit about an auto accident to a debt collection case. These two case types are fundamentally different. About half of the debt collection cases involves a plaintiff who is a debt buyer and not the company from which the defendant had initially borrowed the money. These companies file a high volume of cases and specialize in debt collection. The defendants, by contrast, rarely participate in the litigation in any meaningful way. Often, they do not appear in court, and in less than 6% of the litigation, does an attorney represent the defendant. In 70% of the cases, the result is a default judgment in which the defendant does not participate, but plaintiffs may garnish their wages or freeze their bank accounts. For this reason, courts have been actively researching how to improve case management in debt collection cases on their civil dockets.
 
Recently, Professor Eric Helland, William F. Podlich Professor of Economics and George R. Roberts Fellow, and the students in the CMC Policy Lab worked with the RAND Institute for Civil Justice to examine who the participants in these cases are, what are the outcomes of these cases, and what policy proposals might mitigate the disparity between plaintiffs and defendants. What did they find? Join the CMC alumni and parent community for the first installment of the fall 2023 CMC Connects virtual talk series. Professor Helland will share insights on his work and speak on what it's like to engage students in research at CMC.
 
CMC is happy to welcome Judge Carolyn Kuhl P'11 and Judge William Highberger P'11 to the program, who provided advice to Policy Lab students on the project.

Wetlands—ecosystems characterized by flooded or saturated soils—are a key feature of landscapes ranging from the tropics to the Arctic and provide a number of benefits to human communities. These ecosystems exist in a rapidly changing world, and there is a need to better understand how wetlands will both respond to and influence ongoing climate change. 
 
Join us as Dr. Jason Keller, Professor of Integrated Sciences, discusses how these wetland-climate connections will shape our world and their role in the new Kravis Department of Integrated Sciences

IIn 2007, CMC's Trustees and Faculty passed a Strategic Approach to Diversity, Equity, and Inclulsion (DEI) for the College that affirmed our shared commitment to recruit and retain the most talented and exceptionally promising students, faculty, and staff while never straying from our mission to prepare students for productive lives and responsible leadership in business, government, and the professions.
 
In 2016, the CARE Center (Civility, Access, Resources, and Expression) opened to further this mission with the support of its inaugural director, Vince Greer. Join Vince Greer, Assistant Vice President of Student Affairs for Dialogue and Diversity, as he shares an update, including insights into how CMC prepares students to be leaders in DEI. What makes CMC different from our peer institutions and what can we expect in the future?

CMCers love data. Each data point is a piece of information, and a data set tells a story. However, often the best way of telling that story is to turn the data into a visualization. That's where Tableau comes in. Tableau is a visual analytics tool transforming how we use data to solve problems. With the proper training, users can connect, analyze, and share their data—skills that are important in the classroom, boardroom, or lab. If Tableau sounds like a tool that could benefit you, join CMC and the Murty Sunak Quantitative Computing Lab for our latest alumni and parent workshop. Under the guidance of Dr. Jeho Park, Director of the QCL, we will learn the basics of this exciting program.
 
Please note this is a beginner workshop. If you have previous experience with Tableau, please refrain from signing up and join us on a later call instead.
