Angela Onwuachi-Willig ROBERTS'S REVISIONS: A NARRATOLOGICAL READING OF THE AFFIRMATIVE ACTION CASES 137 Harvard Law Review 192 (November, 2023) In law, one of the stories told by some scholars is that legal opinions are not stories. The story goes: legal opinions are mere recitations of facts and legal principles applied to those facts; they are the end result of a contest between opposing sides that have brought the parties to an objective truth through a lawsuit. In these scholars' eyes,... 2023

Sonja Starr STATISTICAL DISCRIMINATION 58 Harvard Civil Rights-Civil Liberties Law Review 579 (Summer, 2023) The Supreme Court has emphatically and repeatedly rejected efforts to justify otherwise-illegal discrimination against individuals by resort to statistical generalizations about groups.

Paul J. Larkin , GianCarlo Canaparo THE FALLACY OF SYSTEMIC RACISM IN THE AMERICAN CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM 18 Liberty University Law Review 1 (Fall, 2023) Critics of the criminal justice system have repeatedly charged it with systemic racism.

Even President... 2023
