UNFULFILLED PROMISES OF THE FINTECH REVOLUTION |
111 California Law Review 801 (June, 2023) |
While financial technology (fintech) has the potential to make financial services more accessible and affordable, hope that technology alone can solve the complex issue of wealth inequality is misplaced. After all, fintech companies are still subject to the same market forces as traditional financial institutions, with little incentive to address... |

WILLFUL DISREGARD: HOW IGNORING STRUCTURAL RACISM IN MATERNAL MORTALITY HAS LED BLACK WOMEN TO BECOME INVISIBLE IN THEIR OWN CRISIS |
38 Berkeley Journal of Gender, Law & Justice 131 (2023) |
Indeed, in important respects, if the general discourse that surrounds racial disparities in maternal mortality is impoverished, then we should expect that the solutions that observers propose to this problem will be impoverished as well.

WOULD JUSTICE SCALIA THINK BLACK GUNS MATTER? |
47 New York University Review of Law and Social Change 1 (2023) |
Do Black Guns Matter? This Article considers what Justice Scalia's opinion in District of Columbia v. Heller tells us about how the law treats Black gun owners' rights. The opinion appears to tell two stories. One elevates white gun holders through three white paradigms: the colonial revolutionary, the frontiersman, and the hunter. The second... |

A COMMISSION ON RECOGNITION AND RECONSTRUCTION FOR THE UNITED STATES: ILLUSORY OR INSPIRATIONAL? |
66 New York Law School Law Review 359 (2021/2022) |
The United States remains a deeply divided society, with the fault line continuing to be that of race and racism. Of course, this is not new, as W. E. B. Du Bois famously noted more than a century ago that the problem of the color line would be the central issue of the United States in the twentieth century. And so it remains today. The statistics... |

Particulate matter emissions give rise to the environmental problem with the worst public health consequences.

When the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act passed, it offered a broad promise to provide access to quality care on a nondiscriminatory basis.

I almost died after giving birth to my daughter, Olympia. Yet I consider myself fortunate.

The desire to become a parent transcends all identities--including disability.

Of all the forms of inequality, injustice in health is the most shocking and the most inhuman because it often results in physical death.

A massive civil justice gap plagues the United States.
