SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Does Management Matter? Evidence from Indigent Defense in Texas
DESCRIPTION:The majority of felony cases in the United States involve indigent defendants represented by publicly financed attorneys. We examine the effects of efforts to improve representation for economically disadvantaged defendants through the adoption of managed indigent defense offices (MIDs) in Texas\, which impose a layer of oversight and accountability on attorneys who provide indigent defense services. Exploiting the staggered roll-out of MIDs across Texas counties\, together with administrative data on attorney employment and caseloads\, jail populations\, and newly compiled arrest and prison records\, we show that introducing management concentrates cases among a smaller set of local lawyers. Management reduces the use of bench warrants and the probability of imprisonment. Sentences among those incarcerated lengthen as imprisonment falls\, implying that the defendants diverted from prison would have served relatively short terms. Overall\, we find that management matters in the administration of criminal justice.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Department Colloquium | High-Temperature Superconductivity – Insights from Einstein’s Electrons
DESCRIPTION:Complex phenomena in solids remain a central theme of 21st-century physics. Angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES)\, based on Einstein’s photoelectric effect\, has emerged as a leading tool for exploring this frontier\, providing direct\, momentum-resolved access to the electronic structure—the “DNA” of quantum materials. Its impact spans cuprate superconductors\, topological systems\, and two-dimensional materials\, where it has both tested theoretical ideas and revealed unexpected behavior. \n\nIn this talk\, I will discuss both the progress and remaining challenges in understanding cuprate high-temperature superconductors through the lens of ARPES. From testing theoretical ideas and uncovering unexpected phenomena to resolving long-standing puzzles and benchmarking models\, systematic ARPES studies point toward a pathway for achieving high-temperature superconductivity. \n\nIn the poorly screened regime near correlation-driven insulating states\, the interplay between strong electron–electron and electron–phonon interactions could enhance pairing  strength while suppressing structural instabilities. At the same time\, this environment fosters competing orders and fluctuations\, giving rise to the rich and complex phenomenology characteristic of these unconventional superconductors.\n\nA.

Shen\; Coshare Science 02\, 04 (2024)\; DOI: https://doi.org/10.61109/cs.202405.130\n\nBio: Zhi-Xun Shen is the Paul Pigott Professor of Physical Sciences at Stanford University\, with appointments in the Physics and Applied Physics Departments. An experimental condensed matter physicist\, he is renowned for establishing angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) as a central tool for probing the electronic structure of quantum materials\, transforming the field. His contributions have been recognized by the Department of Energy E.O. Lawrence Award\, the APS Oliver E. Buckley Prize\, and the International Kamerlingh Onnes Prize\, and elections to the U.S. National Academy of Sciences\, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences\, and the Royal Society. A dedicated mentor\, he has trained numerous  worldwide. He has held major leadership roles at Stanford and SLAC and contributed to science policy through DOE BESAC and international advisory boards.
