RACIAL DISPARITIES IN FATAL POLICE SHOOTINGS: AN EMPIRICAL ANALYSIS INFORMED BY CRITICAL RACE THEORY |
100 Boston University Law Review 1069 (May, 2020) |
Although the use of excessive force by police has been a concern within communities of color for decades, the issue recently reached the public consciousness through media coverage of a number of high-profile police killings of unarmed Black victims. In explaining these events, the common understanding has been that there are some bad apples... |

RACIAL DISPARITIES IN MATERNAL MORTALITY |
95 New York University Law Review 1229 (November, 2020) |
Racial disparities in maternal mortality have recently become a popular topic, with a host of media outlets devoting time and space to covering the appalling state of black maternal health in the country. Congress responded to this increased societal awareness by passing the Preventing Maternal Deaths Act at the tail end of 2018. The law provides... |

RADICAL METHOD |
24 U.C. Davis Social Justice Law Review 3 (Winter, 2020) |
Should traditional liberals and insurgent scholars who disdain the system nevertheless work together? They start at different points, build on clashing presumptions, and follow different methodologies. Nevertheless, they often come out the same way. Indeed, practitioners of the standard cases-and-policies approach sometimes end up instinctively... |

RETHINKING RACIAL ENTITLEMENTS: FROM EPITHET TO THEORY |
93 Southern California Law Review 217 (January, 2020) |
From warnings of the entitlement epidemic brewing in our homes to accusations that Barack Obama replac[ed] our merit-based society with an Entitlement Society, entitlements carry new meaning these days, with particular negative psychological and behavioral connotation. As Mitt Romney once put it, entitlements can only foster passivity and... |

31 Hastings Women's Law Journal 129 (Winter, 2020) |
It is hard for us Westerners, not that the freedom that men seek differs according to their social or economic status, but that the majority who possess it have gained it by exploiting, or, at least, averting their gaze from, the vast majority who do not. - Isaiah Berlin Racial minorities in America have faced unequal representation and... |

THE FUTURE OF LAW SCHOOLS: COVID-19, TECHNOLOGY, AND SOCIAL JUSTICE |
53 Connecticut Law Review Online 1 (December, 2020) |
The COVID-19 pandemic has laid bare not only the social and racial inequities in society, but also the pedagogical and access to justice inequities embedded in the traditional legal curriculum. The need to re-envision the future of legal education existed well before the current pandemic, spurred by the shifting nature of legal practice as well as... |

27 U.C. Davis Journal of International Law and Policy 81 (Fall, 2020) |
Legal scholarship concerning the crimes against humanity and exploited forced labor that characterized the Trans-Atlantic Slave trade has consistently focused on Western nation states --in particular, the United States' obligation to pay restitution to Blacks of the African Diaspora.

TO EACH THEIR OWN: USING NONBINARY PRONOUNS TO BREAK SILENCE IN THE LEGAL FIELD |
27 UCLA Women's Law Journal 213 (Summer, 2020) |
The last decade has been monumental in the fight for transgender rights, including a growing recognition of transgender identity. This shift has also created space for those with nuanced gender identities--such as those who are nonbinary--to join the conversation. Individuals who identify as nonbinary do not identify as male or female, but... |

(COLOR)BLIND REFORM: HOW ABILITY-TO-PAY DETERMINATIONS ARE INADEQUATE TO TRANSFORM A RACIALIZED SYSTEM OF PENAL DEBT |
43 New York University Review of Law and Social Change 175 (2019) |
As economic sanctions imposed with a criminal conviction proliferate nationwide, reformers have fought for and won the institutionalization of ability-to-pay determinations. While often viewed as a victory in the effort to end the criminalization of poverty, there is a substantial risk that ability-to-pay determinations may actually exacerbate the... |

BAKKE AT 40: REMEDYING BLACK HEALTH DISPARITIES THROUGH AFFIRMATIVE ACTION IN MEDICAL SCHOOL ADMISSIONS |
66 UCLA Law Review 522 (March, 2019) |
Forty years after the landmark Supreme Court decision in U.C. Regents v. Bakke, medical schools remain predominantly white institutions. In Bakke, Justice Powell infamously rejected the concept of societal discrimination, which was offered as a justification for the U.C. Davis medical school's race-conscious admissions program, as an amorphous... |

128 Yale Law Journal 792 (January, 2019) |
Long skeptical of the ability of rights to advance oppressed groups' political goals, Critical Legal Studies (CLS) scholars might consider a U.S. territory like Puerto Rico and ask, What good are rights when you live in a colony? In this Note, I will argue that CLS's critique of rights, though compelling in the abstract, falters in the political... |

BLACK BODIES DROWNING IN THE MEDITERRANEAN SEA: WHY DOES THE WORLD NOT CARE? |
23 UCLA Journal of International Law and Foreign Affairs 183 (Spring, 2019) |
In November 2014, Pope Francis urged European leaders to stop the Mediterranean Sea from becoming a vast cemetery for migrants. Known for its crystal-clear blue water, beautiful sunsets, and top vacation destinations, calling the Mediterranean Sea a cemetery seemed rather paradoxical. However, this sea has, in fact, become the graveyard for... |

CRT AND IMMIGRATION: SETTLER COLONIALISM, FOREIGN INDIGENEITY, AND THE EDUCATION OF RACIAL PERCEPTION |
19 University of Maryland Law Journal of Race, Religion, Gender and Class 134 (Spring, 2019) |
A wall will not end immigration, and neither will immigration laws and policies. Rather, these policies and practices serve to dehumanize immigrants and position them in precarious legal positions where their personhood is constantly called into question. Analyses of immigration from Latin America do not usually focus on Indigenous peoples. When... |

In 2016, the news media in the United States widely reported the case of Brock Turner, a young white college athlete from Stanford who was convicted of sexual assault but spared the mandatory term of imprisonment.

Disability law is still undertheorized. In 2007, Ruth Colker wrote that disability law was undertheorized because it conflated separate with unequal, and because disability was largely ignored or poorly understood within theories of justice. The solution for Colker was to attach the anti-subordination perspective, which was developed to apply... |
