| Jerry Kang | Denying Prejudice: Internment, Redress, and Denial | 51 UCLA Law Review 933 (April, 2004) | In the early 1980s, Fred Korematsu, Minoru Yasui, and Gordon Hirabayashi marched back into the federal courts that convicted them during World War II for defying the internment of persons of Japanese descent. Relying on suppressed exculpatory evidence discovered in the national archives, they filed writs of error coram nobis to overturn their... | 2004 |
| Frank H. Wu | Difficult Decisions During Wartime: A Letter from A Non-alien in An Internment Camp to A Friend Back Home | 54 Case Western Reserve Law Review 1301 (Summer, 2004) | August 20, 1944 Dear Eddie: I never thought I would miss abalone. Growing up in Los Angeles, I always thought that when it was boiled it tasted like tough chicken, and I couldn't stand it as mizugai (raw) even if my father himself had dived for it. We dipped it into shoyu (soy sauce), just like we did the chicken, so it was all pretty much the same... | 2004 |
| Donald K. Tamaki | Foreword: Sixty Years after The Internment: Civil Rights, Identity Politics, and Racial Profiling | 11 Asian Law Journal 145 (May, 2004) | On December 7, 1941, Japan attacked Pearl Harbor and fear gripped our nation. Within hours, Secret Service and FBI agents swept through Japanese American communities, arresting its leaders. Within weeks, these communities were subjected to race-based curfew orders. Within months, the wholesale rounding up of Americans was in full swing as they were... | 2004 |

| Eric L. Muller | Inference or Impact? Racial Profiling and The Internment's True Legacy | 1 Ohio State Journal of Criminal Law 103 (Fall, 2003) | In the debate about racial and ethnic profiling in the wake of the September 11 terrorist attacks, critics of the administration's policies have frequently argued that the government has made the same fundamental error as the Roosevelt administration made when it forced 110,000 Japanese Americans into camps during World War II. This is a powerful... | 2003 |
| Nathan Watanabe | Internment, Civil Liberties, and A Nation in Crisis | 13 Southern California Interdisciplinary Law Journal 167 (Fall 2003) | Historically, the United States has possessed a keen awareness of the precarious position civil liberties occupy in the government's pursuit of a nobler end. As inscribed on the Statute of Liberty, Benjamin Franklin notes, They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. In 1928,... | 2003 |
| Chad W. Bryan | Precedent for Reparations? A Look at Historical Movements for Redress and Where Awarding Reparations for Slavery Might Fit | 54 Alabama Law Review 599 (Winter 2003) | While by no means a new concept, the debate over modern reparations for slavery has taken on a new intensity in recent years, especially among the African American community. Much of this focus has come as a result of the Civil Liberties Act of 1988, congressional legislation awarding reparations for the World War II internment of thousands of... | 2003 |

| Paul Lyon | The Presidential Internment Power Established by The 1942 Internment of Americans Suspected of Disloyalty | 13 San Joaquin Agricultural Law Review 23 (2003) | At any time that the federal government should decide that the United States is threatened by an incursion which the President can identify with a specific racial or ethnic group, he may legally and constitutionally arrest and indefinitely detain all members of that group in the country, whether or not they are citizens of the United States. The... | 2003 |
| Lika C. Miyake | Forsaken and Forgotten: The U.s. Internment of Japanese Peruvians During World WarII | 9 Asian Law Journal 163 (May, 2002) | The internment of Japanese Americans during World War II has been well discussed by scholars, but few remember or even know about the internment of Japanese Peruvians in the U.S. This note examines the history of the Japanese Peruvian internment, focusing on the U.S. government's legal justification for the program and the unjust treatment of the... | 2002 |
| Frank H. Wu | Profiling in The Wake of September 11: The Precedent of The Japanese American Internment | 17-SUM Criminal Justice 52 (Summer, 2002) | The internment of Japanese Americans during World War II is the obvious precedent for the treatment of Arab Americans and Muslim Americans in the aftermath of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. Whether the example should be followed or avoided and what it means generally, however, remains a subject of controversy. The ambivalence is not... | 2002 |

| Jerry Kang | Thinking Through Internment: 12/7 and 9/11 | 9 Asian Law Journal 195 (May, 2002) | The terrorist attacks on 9-11 have frequently been analogized to Pearl Harbor. In many ways, the analogy is apt. Just as that attack launched us into World War II, the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon have launched us into a new kind of war against terrorism. But waging this sort of borderless war poses great risks, not only to... | 2002 |
| Brant T. Lee | A Racial Trust: The Japanese YWCA and The Alien Land Law | 7 Asian Pacific American Law Journal 1 (Spring 2001) | When a dispute arose over the old Japanese Young Women's Christian Association (YWCA) building in San Francisco's Japantown neighborhood, it seemed yet another example of a community institution inevitably ceding to the demands of the modern market economy. Instead, what has resulted has been an exercise in legal archaeology, a refreshing insight... | 2001 |
| Eric L. Muller | Apologies or Apologists? Remembering The Japanese American Internment in Wyoming | 1 Wyoming Law Review 473 (2001) | Between 1942 and 1945, the third-largest city in Wyoming was surrounded by barbed wire, searchlights, and armed sentries.
