Born in 1941, he received his bachelor's degree from Indiana University in 1963, his master's degree from the University of Michigan in 1965, and his PhD in sociology from Michigan University in 1968. Before coming to the University of Virginia in 1985, he was at both Yale University as a post-doctoral Russell Sage Fellow from 1968-1970, and then taught at Harvard University in their Sociology Department and Law School. In 1989 he attained the position as a University Professor, allowing him to teach in any department or school at the University including the Law School. From 1986-1989 he also served as the Department Chair of Sociology.","Black was known for his study of the sociology of ideas and scienticity (the degree to which ideas are testable, valid, and original). His most important early work included \"The Behavior of Law\" (Emerald Publishing 1976), which advanced what is still the only general sociological theory of law--\"behavior of law\"—which is what people do in the name of law, including illegal acts as a way to manage conflict and assert grievances, particularly when legal protections are perceived as failing. He created the theory of \"Pure Sociology\" which explains social life by studying deviant behavior as a system of social control rather than a set of rules.  It is different from psychology because it makes no presumptions about an individuals experience. His work, particularly \"Crime as Social Control\"(American Sociological Review 1983), argues that crime can be a form of \"self-help\" to achieve justice, and it explains the variation in legal responses (like arrests) through social structures such as too much intimacy or lack of intimacy related to conflicts. Unlike most sociologists, he rejected psychological approaches and drew on  anthropological and historical materials and modern data, allowing him to explain variation in social behavior in all societies and across time. He extended his work to the larger universe of conflict management—including violence, avoidance, and toleration—which culminated in his major midcareer work, \"The Social Structure of Right and Wrong\" (Academic Press 1993). Black broke still more fresh ground with a third major opus, \"Moral Time\" (Oxford University Press 2011), which presented a radically new general and testable theory of the causes of conflict. He authored a series of brilliant publications, including the \"The Manners and Customs of the Police\" (Academic Press 1981), \"Sociological Justice' (Oxford University Press 1993), \"The Geometry of Terrorism\" in Sociological Theory (2004), and \"The Epistemology of Pure Sociology\".","He was a fellow of the American Society of Criminology and the American Anthropological Association. In 2013, he received the Law and Society Association Harry Kalven Jr. Prize for outstanding scholarship. He received several awards from the American Sociological Association (ASA) and its Sections. In 1994, he received both the ASA Theory Section's Theory Prize and the Section on the Sociology of Law's Distinguished Book Award, for \"The Social Structure of Right and Wrong\". He was also the recipient of the ASA Section on the Sociology of Law's Distinguished Article Award in 1997 for \"The Epistemology of Pure Sociology\" (Law \u0026 Social Inquiry 1995) and the recipient of the ASA Section on Altruism, Morality, and Social Solidarity inaugural Outstanding Published Book Award in 2012 for \"Moral Time\". In addition, several of his books have been translated into other languages.  He was invited to lecture in numerous countries abroad, including Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Holland, France, Scotland, England, Poland, and Japan. He was on the editorial board for scholarly journals and edited his own series on \"Studies on Law and Social Control\" for Oxford Press.","Black was also a charismatic teacher who influenced many students of sociology. According to Mark Cooney, \"His classes were an intellectual treat for he saw teaching as an opportunity to develop new ideas.\" Beyond the classroom, he was an inspiring mentor ready to offer advice and encouragement, especially to younger scholars. He retired from the University of Virginia in 2016 and died in January 2024.","The collection also includes the papers of Roberta Senechal de la Roche, (spouse of Donald Black) and an American historian, sociologist, retired professor from Washington and Lee University, and poet born in western Maine and raised in upstate New York. She graduated from the University of Southern Maine and the University of Virginia, where she received a doctoral degree in history.  As a historian and sociologist, she specialized in studying theory on collective violence and social history. Her first major publication, originally titled \"The Sociogenesis of a Race Riot\", was later renamed \"In Lincoln's Shadow: The Springfield Race Riot of 1908\". The book examines the two-day race riot in Springfield, Illinois, which resulted in the displacement of thousands of Black residents, destruction of their businesses and homes, and brutal killings of two African Americans. Her work won two distinguished prizes, cementing her contribution to the field. She taught courses on the American gilded age, the history of violence in America, the history of women in America, and a seminar on modern terrorism.","Roberta was inspired by the sociological approach in \"Salem Possessed\", which used detailed social profiles to uncover community conflicts during the Salem Witch Trials. As a graduate student at the University of Virginia, she sought a similarly researchable topic in the field of collective violence. She chose the Springfield riot for its historical significance as Abraham Lincoln's hometown and its underexplored status in academic literature. Over eight years, she meticulously analyzed the dynamics of the riot, profiling both the perpetrators and victims and uncovering patterns that challenged prevailing social strain theories of violence. Her long standing interest is in non-state unilateral collective violence, such as rioting, lynching, terrorism, and vigilantism.","She is also a poet of Miꞌkmaq and French- Canadian descent. Her poems have appeared in the Colorado Review; Vallum; Glass: A Journal of Poetry; Yemassee, Blue Mountain Review, Sequestrum, and Cold Mountain Review, among others. She has two prize-winning chapbooks: Blind Flowers (Arcadia Press) and After Eden (Heartland Review Press, 2019). A third chapbook, Winter Light, and her first book, Going Fast (2019) are published by David Robert Books.","Sources:\nCooney, Mark. \"Donald Black\" Member News \u0026 Notes.

Before coming to the University of Virginia in 1985, he was at both Yale University as a post-doctoral Russell Sage Fellow from 1968-1970, and then taught at Harvard University in their Sociology Department and Law School. In 1989 he attained the position as a University Professor, allowing him to teach in any department or school at the University including the Law School. From 1986-1989 he also served as the Department Chair of Sociology.","Black was known for his study of the sociology of ideas and scienticity (the degree to which ideas are testable, valid, and original). His most important early work included \"The Behavior of Law\" (Emerald Publishing 1976), which advanced what is still the only general sociological theory of law--\"behavior of law\"—which is what people do in the name of law, including illegal acts as a way to manage conflict and assert grievances, particularly when legal protections are perceived as failing. He created the theory of \"Pure Sociology\" which explains social life by studying deviant behavior as a system of social control rather than a set of rules.  It is different from psychology because it makes no presumptions about an individuals experience. His work, particularly \"Crime as Social Control\"(American Sociological Review 1983), argues that crime can be a form of \"self-help\" to achieve justice, and it explains the variation in legal responses (like arrests) through social structures such as too much intimacy or lack of intimacy related to conflicts. Unlike most sociologists, he rejected psychological approaches and drew on  anthropological and historical materials and modern data, allowing him to explain variation in social behavior in all societies and across time. He extended his work to the larger universe of conflict management—including violence, avoidance, and toleration—which culminated in his major midcareer work, \"The Social Structure of Right and Wrong\" (Academic Press 1993). Black broke still more fresh ground with a third major opus, \"Moral Time\" (Oxford University Press 2011), which presented a radically new general and testable theory of the causes of conflict. He authored a series of brilliant publications, including the \"The Manners and Customs of the Police\" (Academic Press 1981), \"Sociological Justice' (Oxford University Press 1993), \"The Geometry of Terrorism\" in Sociological Theory (2004), and \"The Epistemology of Pure Sociology\".","He was a fellow of the American Society of Criminology and the American Anthropological Association. In 2013, he received the Law and Society Association Harry Kalven Jr. Prize for outstanding scholarship. He received several awards from the American Sociological Association (ASA) and its Sections. In 1994, he received both the ASA Theory Section's Theory Prize and the Section on the Sociology of Law's Distinguished Book Award, for \"The Social Structure of Right and Wrong\". He was also the recipient of the ASA Section on the Sociology of Law's Distinguished Article Award in 1997 for \"The Epistemology of Pure Sociology\" (Law \u0026 Social Inquiry 1995) and the recipient of the ASA Section on Altruism, Morality, and Social Solidarity inaugural Outstanding Published Book Award in 2012 for \"Moral Time\". In addition, several of his books have been translated into other languages.  He was invited to lecture in numerous countries abroad, including Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Holland, France, Scotland, England, Poland, and Japan. He was on the editorial board for scholarly journals and edited his own series on \"Studies on Law and Social Control\" for Oxford Press.","Black was also a charismatic teacher who influenced many students of sociology. According to Mark Cooney, \"His classes were an intellectual treat for he saw teaching as an opportunity to develop new ideas.\" Beyond the classroom, he was an inspiring mentor ready to offer advice and encouragement, especially to younger scholars. He retired from the University of Virginia in 2016 and died in January 2024.","The collection also includes the papers of Roberta Senechal de la Roche, (spouse of Donald Black) and an American historian, sociologist, retired professor from Washington and Lee University, and poet born in western Maine and raised in upstate New York. She graduated from the University of Southern Maine and the University of Virginia, where she received a doctoral degree in history.  As a historian and sociologist, she specialized in studying theory on collective violence and social history. Her first major publication, originally titled \"The Sociogenesis of a Race Riot\", was later renamed \"In Lincoln's Shadow: The Springfield Race Riot of 1908\". The book examines the two-day race riot in Springfield, Illinois, which resulted in the displacement of thousands of Black residents, destruction of their businesses and homes, and brutal killings of two African Americans. Her work won two distinguished prizes, cementing her contribution to the field. She taught courses on the American gilded age, the history of violence in America, the history of women in America, and a seminar on modern terrorism.","Roberta was inspired by the sociological approach in \"Salem Possessed\", which used detailed social profiles to uncover community conflicts during the Salem Witch Trials. As a graduate student at the University of Virginia, she sought a similarly researchable topic in the field of collective violence. She chose the Springfield riot for its historical significance as Abraham Lincoln's hometown and its underexplored status in academic literature. Over eight years, she meticulously analyzed the dynamics of the riot, profiling both the perpetrators and victims and uncovering patterns that challenged prevailing social strain theories of violence. Her long standing interest is in non-state unilateral collective violence, such as rioting, lynching, terrorism, and vigilantism.","She is also a poet of Miꞌkmaq and French- Canadian descent. Her poems have appeared in the Colorado Review; Vallum; Glass: A Journal of Poetry; Yemassee, Blue Mountain Review, Sequestrum, and Cold Mountain Review, among others. She has two prize-winning chapbooks: Blind Flowers (Arcadia Press) and After Eden (Heartland Review Press, 2019). A third chapbook, Winter Light, and her first book, Going Fast (2019) are published by David Robert Books.","Sources:\nCooney, Mark. \"Donald Black\" Member News \u0026 Notes.

Born in 1941, he received his bachelor's degree from Indiana University in 1963, his master's degree from the University of Michigan in 1965, and his PhD in sociology from Michigan University in 1968. Before coming to the University of Virginia in 1985, he was at both Yale University as a post-doctoral Russell Sage Fellow from 1968-1970, and then taught at Harvard University in their Sociology Department and Law School. In 1989 he attained the position as a University Professor, allowing him to teach in any department or school at the University including the Law School. From 1986-1989 he also served as the Department Chair of Sociology. \u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eBlack was known for his study of the sociology of ideas and scienticity (the degree to which ideas are testable, valid, and original). His most important early work included \"The Behavior of Law\" (Emerald Publishing 1976), which advanced what is still the only general sociological theory of law--\"behavior of law\"—which is what people do in the name of law, including illegal acts as a way to manage conflict and assert grievances, particularly when legal protections are perceived as failing. He created the theory of \"Pure Sociology\" which explains social life by studying deviant behavior as a system of social control rather than a set of rules.  It is different from psychology because it makes no presumptions about an individuals experience. His work, particularly \"Crime as Social Control\"(American Sociological Review 1983), argues that crime can be a form of \"self-help\" to achieve justice, and it explains the variation in legal responses (like arrests) through social structures such as too much intimacy or lack of intimacy related to conflicts. Unlike most sociologists, he rejected psychological approaches and drew on  anthropological and historical materials and modern data, allowing him to explain variation in social behavior in all societies and across time. He extended his work to the larger universe of conflict management—including violence, avoidance, and toleration—which culminated in his major midcareer work, \"The Social Structure of Right and Wrong\" (Academic Press 1993). Black broke still more fresh ground with a third major opus, \"Moral Time\" (Oxford University Press 2011), which presented a radically new general and testable theory of the causes of conflict. He authored a series of brilliant publications, including the \"The Manners and Customs of the Police\" (Academic Press 1981), \"Sociological Justice' (Oxford University Press 1993), \"The Geometry of Terrorism\" in Sociological Theory (2004), and \"The Epistemology of Pure Sociology\". \u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eHe was a fellow of the American Society of Criminology and the American Anthropological Association. In 2013, he received the Law and Society Association Harry Kalven Jr. Prize for outstanding scholarship. He received several awards from the American Sociological Association (ASA) and its Sections. In 1994, he received both the ASA Theory Section's Theory Prize and the Section on the Sociology of Law's Distinguished Book Award, for \"The Social Structure of Right and Wrong\". He was also the recipient of the ASA Section on the Sociology of Law's Distinguished Article Award in 1997 for \"The Epistemology of Pure Sociology\" (Law \u0026amp; Social Inquiry 1995) and the recipient of the ASA Section on Altruism, Morality, and Social Solidarity inaugural Outstanding Published Book Award in 2012 for \"Moral Time\". In addition, several of his books have been translated into other languages.  He was invited to lecture in numerous countries abroad, including Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Holland, France, Scotland, England, Poland, and Japan.

She graduated from the University of Southern Maine and the University of Virginia, where she received a doctoral degree in history.  As a historian and sociologist, she specialized in studying theory on collective violence and social history. Her first major publication, originally titled \"The Sociogenesis of a Race Riot\", was later renamed \"In Lincoln's Shadow: The Springfield Race Riot of 1908\". The book examines the two-day race riot in Springfield, Illinois, which resulted in the displacement of thousands of Black residents, destruction of their businesses and homes, and brutal killings of two African Americans.

Over eight years, she meticulously analyzed the dynamics of the riot, profiling both the perpetrators and victims and uncovering patterns that challenged prevailing social strain theories of violence.

After finishing high school, he entered the Army Signal Corps, where he remained from September 1940 to 1945. As a signalman, Mr. Williams was at Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, when it was attacked by Japan, plunging the US into World War II. After the war, he attended the University of Virginia on the GI Bill and graduated with a Bachelor of Laws degree in 1951.","In 1951, Williams started as an associate in the Richmond firm of Parrish, Butcher \u0026 Parrish.  In 1955, he cofounded the law firm of Battle, Neal, Harris, Minor \u0026 Williams that merged with McGuire, Woods, King, Davis \u0026 Patterson to form McGuire Woods \u0026 Battle in 1966. From April 1972 to July 1976, he served as Judge to the Circuit Court of the City of Richmond.","After resigning his judgeship, he went back to practice with his old firm of McGuire, Woods \u0026 Battle (1976-1980). He taught a trial practice seminar at the University of Virginia School of Law from 1973-1976. As a trial lawyer, his clients included Westinghouse, General Electric, and Aetna.","In 1979, he was nominated by President Jimmy Carter to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, and confirmed by the Senate in September of 1980. He assumed senior status on May 1, 1992,  but continued to work tirelessly almost until his death on February 19, 2011. Judge Williams sat frequently in other districts of Virginia, and with the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals.  He was an efficient judge and liked his court to be run that way.  He was impatient with attorneys that were not straight and forthcoming, and was invited to many courts to teach how to expedite their logs.","Judge Williams presided over many important cases.  In 1982, Judge Williams sentenced former CIA agent Edwin Wilson to fifteen years in prison and a $200,000 fine for smuggling arms to Lybian agents overseas. [See: Edwin P. Wilson v. US, No. 1:82CR212, box 73]","In 1986, he presided over the case of the United States v. Richard Craig Smith, No. 87-62-R [see: mss2011-1_lcnotes_447].  Smith, a former Army intelligence officer, was accused of espionage and conspiracy.","In 1986, in Akzo N.V. v. E. I. DuPont de Nemours, No. 85-0459-R (See: mss2011-1_lcnotes_317), he ruled in favor of DuPont in a dispute over a patent of Kevlar fiber used in bulletproof vests, arguing that the patent granted to Akzo was invalid because \"knowledge on how to produce the fiber was publicly available\".","In 1989, he presided over the trial of three Teledyne Electronics executives charged with conspiracy, bribery, and wire fraud in connection with the \"Ill Wind\" defense procurement fraud investigation.","In 1991, Eric M. Freedlander, a prominent Richmond mortgage lender, was sentenced  to nine years in prison after he was found guilty of selling loans to financial institutions without disclosing that they were delinquent.  Judge Williams refused Freedlander's pleas for leniency, noting that two banks had failed and many investors lost their life savings as a result of the \"extensive criminal scheme.\"","Williams ruled unconstitutional the Bush Administration's plan to carry out on-the-spot evictions of suspected drug users and sellers from public housing developments around the country.  Williams cited the \"constitutional guarantee of due process in requiring that except in 'extraordinary circumstances; drug related evictions from public housing be preceded by notice and a hearing.  The mere use or possession of narcotics would not in every case constitute an 'extraordinary situation'.\"","In 2002, Judge Williams found prosecutorial misconduct in the dramatic murder trial in Powhatan County of Beverly Monroe for the alleged 1992 shooting death of her lover, Roger de la Burde, a millionaire land speculator and art collector who claimed to be a French count.","In 2003, Judge Williams ruled \"unconstitutional\" Virginia's ban on Partial-Birth Abortion, blocking the law the day it was supposed to take effect in July 2003. He stated the law violated privacy rights and failed to make an exception for the health of the woman. Six months later, he declared the law unconstitutional.","In 2009, Judge Williams ruled that Virginia had violated the voting rights of military personnel and other Americans living overseas by failing to mail absentee ballots in sufficient time for them to be counted in the previous year's presidential election.","He was member of the Richmond Bar Association, the Virginia Bar Association, and American College of Trial Lawyers.","Judge Williams loved to hunt, fish, and garden. He was an outdoors man who loved his dog, wildflowers, birding, and be with his family and friends in Highland County.  He was admired by his \"formers,\" as he called his law clerks, and by his colleagues in the court.","Judge Williams died on February 19, 2011.","The judicial papers of  Richard L.

DuPont de Nemours, No. 85-0459-R (See: mss2011-1_lcnotes_317), he ruled in favor of DuPont in a dispute over a patent of Kevlar fiber used in bulletproof vests, arguing that the patent granted to Akzo was invalid because \"knowledge on how to produce the fiber was publicly available\".","In 1989, he presided over the trial of three Teledyne Electronics executives charged with conspiracy, bribery, and wire fraud in connection with the \"Ill Wind\" defense procurement fraud investigation.","In 1991, Eric M.
