"WHEN DID AFRICAN AMERICANS GET THE RIGHT TO VOTE IN GEORGIA?" |
75 Mercer Law Review 497 (Winter, 2024) |
I often pose to my third-year law students the question that is the title of this Article. I can see in their faces that they think it's a trick question. And it is. The obvious answer--the post-Civil War Fifteenth Amendment guaranteed citizens of all races the right to vote--surely cannot be the answer I'm looking for. The best response I have... |

ACCESS TO JUSTICE FOR BLACK INVENTORS |
77 Vanderbilt Law Review 109 (January, 2024) |
To receive a patent, an inventor must meet certain inventive and procedural standards. Their invention must be novel, nonobvious, and written in such a way that any person skilled in the inventive subject can make and use the invention without undue experimentation. This process is far from objective. An inventor is not always communicating within... |

ALL EYEZ ON RAP & HIP-HOP: ANALYZING HOW BLACK EXPRESSION IS CRIMINALIZED AND THE LANGUAGE OF THE RAP ACT OF 2022 |
19 Washington Journal of Law, Technology & Arts 1 (Spring, 2024) |
The Black existence, in the United States of America, has always been regarded as a conditional right. Conventionally, Blackness must always be nonviolent and non-disruptive to safely exist. Because of this, Blackness cannot be confined to restraints and disrupts these conventions with acts of joy and creative expression. Black creativity is both... |

97-MAR Wisconsin Lawyer 50 (March, 2024) |
The book was very different from what I had expected. I knew that Africans had never accepted their enslavement and had fought back from the outset. I expected detail about that fight in terms of uprisings, escapes, plots, and so on. The book was instead about how they fought back but in a very different way--enshrining their rights as citizens in... |

93-OCT Kansas Bar Journal 10 (September/October, 2024) |
Although Kansas has gone down in history as the state that fought for segregated schools, it is an inaccurate label. The true story of school segregation in Kansas is a history of a state Supreme Court that boldly stood against school segregation in an era when such a position was not popular. And at the heart of the litigation, were Black lawyers,... |

BREAKING THE BLACK BOX: WHEN JURY EXPERIMENTATION BECOMES JURY MISCONDUCT |
65 Boston College Law Review 2863 (November, 2024) |
Abstract: For centuries, juries in criminal trials have retreated to the privacy of their black box to deliberate and decide a defendant's guilt or innocence. The secrecy of the deliberation process is a hallmark of a democratic system that tasks the public with holding their neighbors accountable to community standards. What happens, however,... |

CAR SEATS AS CONTRACEPTION |
67 Journal of Law & Economics 517 (August, 2024) |
We show that laws mandating use of child car safety seats significantly reduce birth rates, as many cars cannot fit three child seats in the back seat. Women with two children younger than their state's age mandate have a lower annual birth probability of .73 percentage points. This effect is limited to births of third children, households with... |

CARCINOGENIC CHEMICALS IN BLACK HAIR PRODUCTS: A PRODUCT LIABILITY ISSUE |

Sadly, these lyrics are an example of the mindset that most African American great-grandparents and their ancestors were trained to believe centuries ago.

In the 1896 case Plessy v. Ferguson, the Supreme Court endorsed the separate but equal doctrine, essentially codifying racial segregation. This decision guaranteed that systemic racism would permeate every fabric of society despite the abolition of slavery. Recently, many corporate institutions have pledged to actively support the fight against... |

CRIMINALIZING ABUSE: SHORTCOMINGS OF THE DVSJA ON BLACK WOMAN SURVIVORSHIP |
124 Columbia Law Review 2065 (November, 2024) |
Commentators posit that reducing domestic abuse requires an increase in prosecutions and a decrease in criminal reform efforts. The abuser is as set a role as the sympathetic victim, with little room to examine how both may exist simultaneously within an individual. A deeper look into what occurs for survivors reveals that legal discourse often... |
