RICHARD DELGADO'S QUEST FOR JUSTICE FOR ALL |
33 Law & Inequality: A Journal of Theory and Practice 407 (Summer, 2015) |
It is a distinct honor to participate in this Symposium, which no doubt will be one of many, celebrating Richard Delgado's illustrious career in teaching law. A brief, simple commentary cannot do justice to Delgado's pioneering legal scholarship--he is nothing less than a legend, a sort of LeBron James or Michael Jordan among legal academics.... |

TAKING A STAND?: AN INITIAL ASSESSMENT OF THE SOCIAL AND RACIAL EFFECTS OF RECENT INNOVATIONS IN SELF-DEFENSE LAWS |
83 Fordham Law Review 3179 (May, 2015) |
[I]t's time to question laws that senselessly expand the concept of self-defense and sow dangerous conflict in our neighborhoods. These laws try to fix something that was never broken. There has always been a legal defense for using deadly force if -- and the if is important -- no safe retreat is available. Perhaps, not surprisingly, the... |

THE DIVERSITY RUSE: HOW GRUTTER UPHELD AFFIRMATIVE ACTION BY FAILING TO APPLY STRICT SCRUTINY |
45 Cumberland Law Review 225 (2014-2015) |
In Grutter v. Bollinger, the Supreme Court ruled that colleges are allowed to make narrowly tailored use of race in admissions decisions to further a compelling interest in obtaining the educational benefits that flow from a diverse student body. The Grutter majority was supposed to apply strict scrutiny to affirmative action. Strict scrutiny... |

THE MODERN DAY SCARLET LETTER |
83 Fordham Law Review 2999 (May, 2015) |
The stigma gone, Hester heaved a long, deep sigh, in which the burden of shame and anguish departed from her spirit. O exquisite relief! She had not known the weight, until she felt the freedom! American society has come to presuppose the efficacy of the collateral legal consequences of criminal conviction. But little attention has been paid to... |

In 2009, the Maryland legislature enacted a statute that required law enforcement to take a DNA sample at the time of arrest from individuals charged with a crime of violence or an attempt to commit a crime of violence, or burglary or an attempt to commit burglary. The Maryland statute required these DNA samples to be maintained in a statewide... |

In August 2014, the U.S. Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) handed down a breakthrough decision, In re A-R-C-G-, permitting courts to consider domestic violence as a gendered form of persecution in a home country and thus grounds for asylum in the United States.

When covering the problem of American street violence, the media has primarily focused on violence impacting black men. However, the media often ignores the thousands of black women behind the scenes who are abused, degraded, and struggling to survive in violent communities.

Black people are the magical faces at the bottom of society's well. Even the poorest whites, those who must live their lives only a few levels above, gain their self-esteem by gazing down on us. Surely, they must know that their deliverance depends on letting down their ropes. Only by working together is escape possible. Over time, many reach out,... |

This Note evaluates the convergence of the standards articulated in Batson v. Kentucky and those of Strickland v. Washington.
