Jasmine B. Gonzales Rose TOWARD A CRITICAL RACE THEORY OF EVIDENCE 101 Minnesota Law Review 2243 (June, 2017) It's not what you know, it's what you can prove in court! This oft-used movie line shows how even Hollywood recognizes the importance of evidence law. At trial, the facts are not determined through an independent investigation of the truth but by how the rules of evidence are employed to admit or exclude evidence. Attorneys use evidence rules to... 2017

Bryan Scott Ryan ALLEVIATING OWN-RACE BIAS IN CROSS-RACIAL IDENTIFICATIONS 8 Washington University Jurisprudence Review 115 (2015) Over the past 80 years, courts, social scientists, and legal scholars have come to agree that eyewitness testimony is largely unreliable due to a variety of confounding factors.

Mario L. Barnes CRIMINAL JUSTICE FOR THOSE (STILL) AT THE MARGINS--ADDRESSING HIDDEN FORMS OF BIAS AND THE POLITICS OF WHICH LIVES MATTER 5 UC Irvine Law Review 711 (November, 2015) Americans believe in the reality of race as a defined, indubitable feature of the natural world. Racism--the need to ascribe bone-deep features to people and then humiliate, reduce, and destroy them--inevitably follows from this inalterable condition. In this way, racism is rendered as the innocent daughter of Mother Nature, and one is left to... 2015

We identify two central paradigm shifts: one in penology (that focuses on risk) and one in racial ideology (that focuses on colorblindness) that create a perfect... 2015

I've said before that I rarely look for heroes in the academy, primarily because I've found it to be a disappointing search.
