Doron Dorfman, JSM ’14, and a current JSD candidate from Israel, has received the Colin B. Picker Prize, First Honorable Mention for a Paper by a Graduate Student, from the American Society of Comparative Law. The prize was announced during the Fifth Younger Comparativists Committee (YCC) Conference for the American Society of Comparative Law, which took place on March 18-19, 2016, in New Orleans, and was attended by 90 scholars from around the world who study comparative law. Until recently, Dorfman was the only scholar specializing in disability studies at Stanford. His winning paper, titled The Inaccessible Road to Motherhood – The Tragic Consequence of Not Having Reproductive Policies for Israelis with Disabilities, details a case in which Dorfman was part of the legal team representing a woman with muscular dystrophy who was unable to conceive due to her disability. After exhausting all other options, she eventually was able to bring a baby into the world, using a surrogate and an egg and sperm donations; however, because the baby had no genetic connection to her, it was placed in foster care. “The message,” says Dorfman, “is that we will take a baby from a disabled mom and give to someone who is ‘able-bodied,’ even though that person has no genetic connection to them, either.” The paper, which is published at Columbia Journal of Gender and Law, Vol. 30, No. 1, 2015, also received the 2015 Steven M. Block Civil Liberties from Stanford Law School.
