Some manifestations of Long COVID will certainly be considered disabilities under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). However, even if it is considered a... |

Segregation rates have remained stagnant in many regions of the United States since the passage of the federal Fair Housing Act (FHA) in 1968 and experts expect them to increase in large metropolitan areas.

WHEN RELIGION AND THE PUBLIC-EDUCATION MISSION COLLIDE |

abstract. The Supreme Court has chosen education as a primary stomping ground for rewriting Free Exercise Clause doctrine. Two decades ago, a divided Court gave states the option to fund religious education. Recent cases invert that analysis. Now a solid majority mandates that states fund religious schools any time they fund other private schools.... |

WHITE VIGILANTISM AND THE RACISM OF RACE-NEUTRALITY |
99 Denver Law Review 763 (Summer, 2022) |
Race-neutrality has long been touted in American law as central to promoting racial equality while guarding against race-based discrimination. And yet the legal doctrine of race-neutrality has perversely operated to shield claims of racial discrimination from judicial review while protecting discriminators from liability and punishment. This... |

YOGA AS PROPERTY: A CENTURY OF UNITED STATES YOGA COPYRIGHTS, 1937-2021 |

Public debate on yoga as property fixates on whether yoga should be owned, asking if yoga can be Indian property. Framed as such, the public discourse obscures a century-long, ravenous arc of yoga ownership in the United States, accumulated by whiteness, beginning in the early twentieth century. What do the stories of yoga in American law tell us... |

Family separation has the dubious distinction of being the most odious measure amongst Donald Trump's draconian anti-immigrant immigration policies.

Given the disproportionate violence trans people in prison experience, flooding the legal system with litigation to create change for individual plaintiffs is only a stopgap measure. A better remedy to uproot the harm is to keep trans people out of prison entirely. The first claim of this Note is that prisons are inherently more violent for trans... |
