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... |

DEFINING THE PROPER ROLE OF "OFFENDER CHARACTERISTICS" IN SENTENCING DECISIONS: A CRITICAL RACE THEORY PERSPECTIVE |
56 American Criminal Law Review 1693 (Fall, 2019) |
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.

DISABLED AUTONOMY |
22 Journal of Health Care Law and Policy 245 (2019) |
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... |

For more than four decades, scholars have been debating the constitutional parameters of affirmative action.

How does a former gang-banging, gun-toting Latino serving a thirty-year prison sentence, the product of an elderly uneducated immigrant father and a drug-addicted mother, go from a prison cell to law school?
