TOWARD AN INTEGRAL CRITICAL APPROACH TO THINKING, TALKING, WRITING, AND TEACHING ABOUT RACE |
43 University of San Francisco Law Review 259 (Fall 2008) |
AS I SIT DOWN AT MY DESK to read a draft of the essay submitted to our law review for this issue by Professor Dan Subotnik, the odd but well-understood phrase beside myself comes to mind. A surge of negativity runs through me, so intense it hurts from within. It is as if my body, all ninety-seven pounds of it, has just been hit with a vein-deep... |

86 North Carolina Law Review 673 (March, 2008) |
The most important and intangible aspect of teaching and practicing social justice law is retaining the hope that our efforts can translate into progressive results.

40 University of Toledo Law Review 145 (Fall 2008) |
THIS article disputes Samuel Estreicher's non-preference neutrality theory regarding the Supreme Court's approach to tiebreaker cases. Estreicher's theory is that the Court is concerned merely with the neutral distribution--and withholding--of governmental benefits on the basis of race and ethnicity. This article argues that the Court's... |

11 Journal of Gender, Race and Justice 409 (Spring 2008) |
Almighty God created the races white, black, yellow, Malay and red, and he placed them on separate continents. And but for the interference with his arrangement there would be no cause for such marriages. The fact that he separated the races shows that he did not intend for the races to mix. This nation has a moral and ethical obligation to fulfill... |

Ours is the positivist faith of the lawyer-engineer laboring inside the... |
