The Thurgood Marshall School of Law, was born in sin. Born in the sin of American apartheid as the School of Law of the Texas State University for Negroes. This was not of course, original sin, for which theologians assert that human beings bear no guilt, but rather the sin of racial segregation and Jim Crow, which ultimately replaced the... |

It is no secret that there is currently an incarceration crisis in America.

Globalization of the U.s. Black Market: Prohibition, the War on Drugs, and the Case of Mexico |

Prohibition of alcohol from 1919 to 1933 is a paradigmatic case of sumptuary legislation gone awry. Instead of removing alcohol from the market, Prohibition increased alcohol's potency and decreased its quality, resulting in a spike in drunkenness and accidental deaths while black market corruption and violence abounded. The same criticisms are... |

WHY DOES THE U.S. NAVAL Station at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba (Guantánamo or GTMO) appear as a legal black hole? It's been labeled a quirky outpost with an unusual jurisdictional status and an anomalous legal zone. After eight years, nearly 800 persons have been detained on the base. Cases from this year show that elemental legal questions... |

Things are the reality that counts. If a thing is despised . . . you will... |

At first glance J. William Harris's study of the 1775 hanging of Thomas Jeremiah, the free black pilot, mariner, and slave owner, appears to be a micro-history.
