FIGHTING FOR THE COMMON GOOD: HOW LOW-WAGE WORKERS' IDENTITIES ARE SHAPING LABOR LAW |
126 Yale Law Journal Forum 503 (April 19, 2017) |
Social movements led by workers in low-wage industries, from fast food to car washes to nursing homes, have upended the public narrative of who poor workers are and what they deserve both at work and at home. By doing so, these movements have won victories that were once considered unrealistic and doomed. As a result of the Fight for $15's... |

FLEEING WHILE BLACK: HOW MASSACHUSETTS RESHAPED THE COUNTOURS OF THE TERRY STOP |
54 American Criminal Law Review Online 42 (2017) |
In its recent opinion in Commonwealth v. Warren, the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court stated that when a black male flees from a Field Interrogation Operation (FIO), such flight is not necessarily probative of a suspect's state of mind or consciousness of guilt. The court found that because men of color are frequent subjects of racial... |

FOSTER v. CHATMAN: A MISSED OPPORTUNITY FOR BATSON AND THE PEREMPTORY CHALLENGE |
49 Connecticut Law Review 1137 (May, 2017) |
In 2016, the United States Supreme Court decided that the prosecutors in Foster v. Chatman exercised race-based peremptory challenges in violation of Batson v. Kentucky. The Court reached the right result, but missed an important opportunity. The Court should have acknowledged that after thirty years of the Batson experiment, it is clear that... |

48 University of Miami Inter-American Law Review 141 (Spring, 2017) |
In the United States, recent killings of civilians by law enforcement have propelled body cameras to the forefront of solutions to the epidemic of police misconduct.

The year 2017 marks the fiftieth anniversary of the 1967 United States Supreme Court decision in Loving v. Virginia, which declared anti-miscegenation laws to be unconstitutional.

FROM MASS INCARCERATION TO MASS CONTROL, AND BACK AGAIN: HOW BIPARTISAN CRIMINAL JUSTICE REFORM MAY LEAD TO A FOR-PROFIT NIGHTMARE |
20 University of Pennsylvania Journal of Law and Social Change 125 (2017) |
Since 2010, advocates on the right and left have increasingly allied to denounce mass incarceration and propose serious reductions in the use of prisons. This alliance serves useful shared purposes, but each side comes to it with distinct and in many ways incompatible long-term interests. If progressive advocates rely solely on this alliance... |

FROM STOPPING BLACK PEOPLE TO KILLING BLACK PEOPLE: THE FOURTH AMENDMENT PATHWAYS TO POLICE VIOLENCE |

The years 2014 to 2016 likely will go down as a significant if not watershed period in the history of U.S. race relations. Police killing of African Americans has engendered further conversations about race and policing. Yet, in most of the discussions about these tragic deaths, little attention has been paid to a significant dimension of the... |

FROM THE DARK TOWER: UNBRIDLED CIVIL ASSET FORFEITURE |
10 Drexel Law Review 69 (2017) |
The Black Lives Matter movement reinforces that race dominates all aspects of the judicial system. Police officers are significantly more likely to stop African Americans than Whites. Even when a stop or arrest is unwarranted, law enforcement agencies can still profit from the property seized under the guise of forfeiture statutes. Various state... |

Since the United States Civil War, the Confederate Battle Flag of the South has been the subject of much controversy in the United States.
