Kathryn Hendley is Professor of Law and Political Science at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Her research documents the dualistic nature of the Russian legal system and the willingness of Russians (both individuals and entities) to take routine disputes to their courts. She has carried out ethnographic research in Russia's arbitrazh and justice-of-the-peace courts and was the first to field a survey of Russian lawyers that included all specialties. Her work has been funded by Fulbright, the NSF, the World Bank, and others, and has been published in major social science journals. Peter H. Solomon, Jr. is Emeritus Professor of Political Science, Law and Criminology at the University of Toronto and Member of its Centre for European, Russian, and Eurasian Studies at the Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy. He has written extensively on the history of courts and criminal justice in the USSR and its successor states. His research is currently focused on judicial reform in Russia and Ukraine, where he has participated in projects with the World Bank, OSCE, and the Canadian International Development Agency), as well as on criminal law, procedure, and justice in authoritarian and transitional states.
