54 New York Law School Law Review 1071 (2009/2010) |

African American Literature and Legal History |
22 Law and Literature 325 (Summer, 2010) |
Abstract. The relationships between African American literature and American law are such that the textual body of each, taken broadly, can be read as the basis for an alternative text of the other. The law's traces in African American cultural production allow us to see arenas of contradiction and interrogation in that literature that have been... |

Ain't I a Parent?: the Exclusion of Kinship Caregivers from the Debate over Expansions of Parenthood |
34 New York University Review of Law and Social Change 595 (2010) |
Kinship caregivers--a group disproportionately populated by persons of color, particularly black grandmothers--have historically assumed parental roles, often together with a legal parent.

And it Only Took Them 307 Years: Ruminations on Legal and Non-legal Approaches to Diversifying Head Coaching in College Football |

Just like the states are laboratories for constitutional experiments, sports are laboratories for equal opportunity in the United States. While historically, the integration of professional and collegiate sports foreshadowed desegregation, the hurdle that minorities still face in achieving head coaching positions in collegiate football suggests... |

28 Law and History Review 880 (August, 2010) |
The career of Jim Crow becomes stranger, as C. Vann Woodward would say, when historians turn away from the loudly defiant massive resisters to the quiet moderates that guided the South's lasting legal responses to desegregation. In the well-researched and engaging The Ghost of Jim Crow, Anders Walker examines how powerful southern governors... |

Good afternoon. What an honor it is to close this wonderful symposium. I would like to provoke you to think--not to persuade you to believe as I do--but to provoke you to think about the role of the black lawyer and the future of civil rights, as perhaps you have never thought about these issues before. That's quite a challenge, but what I would... |

Globalization of the U.s. Black Market: Prohibition, the War on Drugs, and the Case of Mexico |

Prohibition of alcohol from 1919 to 1933 is a paradigmatic case of sumptuary legislation gone awry. Instead of removing alcohol from the market, Prohibition increased alcohol's potency and decreased its quality, resulting in a spike in drunkenness and accidental deaths while black market corruption and violence abounded. The same criticisms are... |

WHY DOES THE U.S. NAVAL Station at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba (Guantánamo or GTMO) appear as a legal black hole? It's been labeled a quirky outpost with an unusual jurisdictional status and an anomalous legal zone. After eight years, nearly 800 persons have been detained on the base. Cases from this year show that elemental legal questions... |

Things are the reality that counts. If a thing is despised . . . you will... |
