LESS PRISON TIME MATTERS: A ROADMAP TO REDUCING THE DISCRIMINATORY IMPACT OF THE SENTENCING SYSTEM AGAINST AFRICAN AMERICANS AND INDIGENOUS AUSTRALIANS |
37 Georgia State University Law Review 1405 (Summer, 2021) |
The criminal justice system discriminates against African Americans. There are a number of stages of the criminal justice process.

LIES, DAMN LIES, AND FEDERAL INDIAN LAW: THE ETHICS OF CITING RACIST PRECEDENT IN CONTEMPORARY FEDERAL INDIAN LAW |

Federal Indian law is rooted in history. Present day Indian law practitioners routinely cite cases from the 1800s. Most of the jurisprudence dealing with Indians in the 1800s is flagrantly racist and based upon grossly erroneous stereotypes about Indians. Contemporary Indian rights continuously erode because federal Indian law remains stuck in the... |
