DIVINE INJUSTICE: MYTHS OF GOOD LAWYERS & OTHER LEGAL FICTIONS |
14 Georgetown Journal of Law & Modern Critical Race Perspectives 107 (Winter, 2022) |
When former President Trump's personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani, invoked a rhetoric of judicial combat following the 2020 U.S. Presidential Election, his words were an incantation, at once summoning centuries of terror and images of medieval warfare. But, by contextualizing this moment in the blood and birthright that underlie U.S. settler law,... |

In this article, Kearse describes how developing his understanding of American history helped him to view his own situation in a new light, and motivated him to begin doing legal advocacy from inside. My involvement with the criminal punishment system has a lot to do with racism, capitalism, and ignorance. However, after getting involved with... |

IMMIGRATION DETENTION AND DISSENT: THE ROLE OF THE FIRST AMENDMENT ON THE ROAD TO ABOLITION |
56 Georgia Law Review 1433 (2022) |
The movement to abolish slavery relied heavily on the exercise and protection of enslaved and formerly enslaved people's freedom of speech against robust efforts to suppress their messaging. The same is true in the context of the movement to abolish immigration detention. For decades, people in immigration detention, formerly detained people, and... |

In 2020, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Department of Justice introduced guidance that a number of underlying medical conditions--including kidney disease--increased one's risk of severe illness or death from COVID-19 enough to merit compassionate release from jail or prison.

PEDAGOGIES OF REFUSAL AS RACIAL REALIST PRAXIS |

As educators in an undergraduate legal program with a social justice mission, we understand our pedagogical practice and responsibility as one that reflects Derrick Bell's Racial Realism. In our classrooms, we acknowledge the inherently racist, sexist, gendered, and colonialist formations of law. We do not teach the study of law as a neutral... |

History, however, gives little support to the view that time automatically erodes racial aversions, fears, and animosities, or even tames the overt behavior based on such feelings. There has been no one-way movement toward improved group relations, but instead many detours, oscillations, and even severe backward movements. -Thomas Sowell Plessy... |

COVID-19 impacted the entire world, and the United States is no exception. In addition to pervasive death and illness, COVID-19 wreaked havoc on the U.S. economy.

"UNWHITENING THE WORLD": RETHINKING RACE AND INTERNATIONAL LAW |

International law was invented in 1789 when Jeremy Bentham introduced the term to replace the outmoded Law of Nations.
