Biography

Sanford Harold Kadish was born in 1921 in New York City,[3] and grew up in the Bronx.[1] He graduated from City College of New York, Phi Beta Kappa, and then attended a Japanese language school in Colorado.

He served in the United States Navy during World War II, translating Japanese military documents from the Pacific,[1] until he was discharged in 1946.[4] Kadish earned his law degree from Columbia Law School in 1948; during that time he studied with professors Herb Wechsler and Walter Gellhorn, who were influential on his career and scholarship.[4] After law school, he practiced privately in New York before entering legal academia in 1951 at the University of Utah Law School, where he taught for ten years.[4] He then joined the University of Michigan[4][5] in 1961,[6] before he joined UC Berkeley's School of Law (then "Boalt Hall School of Law") in 1964, where he stayed until his retirement in 1999. He served as Boalt's Dean from 1975 to 1982,[5] and continued to serve as emeritus faculty (the Alexander F. and May T. Morrison Professor of Law (Emeritus)) even after his retirement in 1999.

During his years in academia, he worked with Wechsler on the ALI's Model Penal Code, which was to prove hugely influential in reforming American criminal law. He also published the first edition of his criminal law casebook, Criminal Law and Its Processes, which became the leading criminal law casebook for decades.

Scholarship

Kadish was renowned as "the preeminent criminal law scholar of his generation",[7] "America's foremost scholar of the criminal law",[8] and "the dean of American criminal law academicians".[8][16] He has been described as "the leading scholar in ... criminal law theory", who was largely responsible for shaping the field.[9]

In his scholarship and his work on legal reform, Kadish applied a sociological lens to criminal law and criminology. Kadish authored the leading criminal law casebook[8] (Criminal Law and Its Processes, first published in 1962) and the first comprehensive encyclopedia of criminal law[8] (The Encyclopedia of Crime and Justice, first published in 1983).

Kadish is particularly cited for a number of contributions, including:

  • criticizing the criminalization of so-called "victimless crimes", which led to removal of most such crimes from the Model Penal Code
  • providing impetus to the sentencing reform movement with an article on criminal procedure, "Legal Norm and Discretion in the Police and Sentencing Process", 75 Harv. L. Rev. 904 (1962)[7]
  • a highly cited article on due process, "Methodology and Criteria in Due Process Adjudication -- A Survey and Criticism", 66 Yale L.J. 319 (1957)[10]
  • scholarship on excuses and exceptions in criminal law, including several articles and ultimately a formulation in his criminal law casebook that shaped the treatment of this topic in all subsequent casebooks
  • studies of the codification of law, beginning with his contributions to the Model Penal Code
  • his influential casebook, Criminal Law and Its Processes, which "took the field of criminal law class materials by storm, revolutionized the prevalent approach to teaching the first-year course, and projected a vision of the subject matter that deservedly dominated the field."[7] "With the possible exception of the American Law Institute's Model Penal Code, these materials are the single most influential document in shaping the study and the teaching of criminal law in America today."[9]

Academic service and awards

At different times, Kadish was president of the Association of American Law Schools (AALS) and the American Association of University Professors (AAUP),[11] and Vice-President of the American Academy of Arts & Sciences.[12] During the 1950s Kadish served as an arbitrator with the Regional Wage Stabilization Board (1951–53).[6]

Kadish was a Fulbright Lecturer in 1957 at the University of Melbourne, Australia.[6] In 1974 Kadish was a Guggenheim Fellow.[13] While dean, Kadish helped institute the Jurisprudence and Social Policy Program, one of the first of its kind.[8] In 2003, Kadish and his wife endowed the Kadish Center for Morality, Law and Public Affairs,[4] fostering continued scholarship in the ethics and policy of criminal law, and in legal and moral reasoning generally.

Personal life

Kadish was the son of Frances R. Kadish.[14] Kadish co-authored some work with his brother, Mortimer Kadish, a philosopher. He was married to June Kadish (1922-2011) for 68 years,[15] with whom he had two sons, Josh and Peter Kadish.[11]
