Overview
The University of California, Berkeley, Law School has launched the Berkeley Judicial Institute (BJI), which examines judicial integrity, ethics, impartiality, political influence, and the inherent stresses of being a judge. It will also focus on other important issues affecting the administration of justice. Jeremy D. Fogel, who has served as the director of the Federal Judicial Center in Washington, D.C., will become the program’s executive director. During the grant term, the BJI plans to provide education and resources for jurists and help faculty and students gain a better understanding of how the judiciary works.

Grants to this Grantee
for support of the Impact CFO program at the Center for Social Sector Leadership
This grant supports the creation of the Impact CFO program at the Center for Social Sector Leadership at UC Berkeley. Impact CFO will create a pipeline for senior finance professionals in the social sector who will manage the growing complexity of nonprofit finance, serve on leadership teams, and lead organizations to financial sustainability. Impact CFO is a program of the Center whose mission is to prepare a new generation of cross-sector leaders with the practical skills to tackle complex global challenges and achieve social impact.
for the Steven Weber Futures Fellowship Fund for Digital Security and Trust
In 2014, a Hewlett Foundation grant to the University of California at Berkeley supported the establishment of the Center for Long-Term Cybersecurity. Led by faculty director Steven Weber, the center has focused on both the “cyber” and “security” components of cybersecurity, grounding efforts in a robust, flexible, and evolving understanding of the “possibility” space of cybersecurity. Research has focused on possible future cybersecurity scenarios, and explores the technical, political, and economic intersection of these potential futures. The aim of the center has been to foster interdisciplinary collaboration within the center as well as to add diversity to the cybersecurity conversation. This grant would support the launch of a Steven Weber Futures Fellowship Fund for Digital Security and Trust, awarding annual fellowships in honor of the center's founding director, who stepped down in 2021.
