Max M. Schanzenbach is the Seigle Family Professor of Law at the Northwestern University School of Law.

Education

Career

Schanzenbach joined the Northwestern University faculty in 2003 as an Assistant Professor of Law. He was named the Benjamin Mazur Professor of Law there in 2006.[2] In the Spring of 2008, he was the Bruce W. Nichols Visiting Professor of Law at Harvard Law School. Since 2012, he has been the co-editor-in-chief of the American Law and Economics Review.[1]

Work

A 2007 study co-authored by Schanzenbach and Robert H. Sitkoff argued that trustees responded appropriately to the introduction of so-called prudent investor laws.[3][4] Also in 2007, Schanzenbach and Emerson Tiller (who is also a professor at Northwestern) co-authored a study showing that judges appointed by Republicans tend to give harsher sentences for street crime, while those appointed by Democrats tend to punish white-collar criminals more severely.[5] Schanzenbach has also argued that police union contracts are serious impediments to creating incentives for proper police conduct,[6] including the contract made by the union representing officers in the Chicago Police Department.[7]

Personal life

Schanzenbach is married to Diane Whitmore Schanzenbach, a professor at the Northwestern University School of Education and Social Policy, with whom he has three children.[8] As of 2015, they live in the North Shore area of Chicago, Illinois.[9]

gollark: Hold on.
gollark: How about:Create a new section "Bees" %bees.Create a rule "Bee utilization part 1" (%bees-1) in %bees:> If bees are deployed, they may be used against any player, if a Bee Poll indicating this target player is passed. The deployment status of bees is to be considered part of the Game State. If bees are used on a player they lose 1 point. Bees are not considered a resource and if they are deployed an unlimited amount of bee-related actions may be taken.Create a rule "Bee Poll" (%bee-poll) in %polls:> A Bee Poll is required to authorize bees to perform actions, as described in %bees. The default allowed reactions for a Bee Poll are 👍 (representing a vote for) and 👎 (representing a vote against). Bee Polls may be ended if they have existed for 12 hours, rather than the usual 24. When a Bee Poll ends, if there are more votes for the Bee Poll than against it, the Bee Poll passes. Players are permitted to use multiple reactions on a Bee Poll.
gollark: What? I'm going to just cancel the existing proposal and make one creating the bee section and bee rules section 1.
gollark: Wait, maybe it should create a bee *section* too.
gollark: How about:If bees are deployed, they may be used against any player, if a Bee Poll for this action passes. If bees are used on a player they lose 1 point. Bees are not considered a resource and if they are deployed an unlimited amount of bee-related actions may be taken.
