SOME CONCEPTUAL AND LEGAL PROBLEMS IN REPARATIONS FOR SLAVERY |
58 New York University Annual Survey of American Law 497 (2003) |
Now that reparations talk has gained wide acceptance on college campuses, on the opinion pages of the nations' newspapers, and even on occasion in the halls of Congress, we need to focus on the moral and legal case for reparations and how proposals made might actually work. Reparations may be becoming widely accepted as an ideal, but there is... |

THE "END" OF: SCIENCE, PHILOSOPHY, AND LEGAL THEORY |
57 University of Miami Law Review 629 (April, 2003) |
Pierre Schlag's fascinating critique of reason raises fundamental issues regarding the status of reason within the legal academy, and, in turn, the status of legal theory as an enterprise. Since its inception, there has been an infatuation with reason in American law. This enchantment, importantly, was not peculiar to legal theorists. Indeed, the... |

THE ACTIVIST INSECURITY AND THE DEMISE OF CIVIL RIGHTS LAW |
63 Louisiana Law Review 785 (Spring, 2003) |
Civil rights law is today moribund. An impressive edifice, built upon the ruins of Jim Crow, with the blood and sweat of the civil rights movement, and intended to both dismantle that system and ensure the civil liberties that Jim Crow illustrated were all too easily lost, civil rights law was to be the lasting monument of the civil rights... |

So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past. -- F. Scott Fitzgerald In his debut novel, Stephen Carter takes pains to explain that although he and his protagonist, Talcott Garland (who goes by Misha), share superficial aspects of their identities, they should not be confused as twins. Carter and Misha may both... |

THE CIVIL RIGHTS OF "OTHERS": ANTITERRORISM, THE PATRIOT ACT, AND ARAB AND SOUTH ASIAN AMERICAN RIGHTS IN POST-9/11 AMERICAN SOCIETY |

I woke up early on the morning of September 11, 2001, 5:45 AM PST, to get some studying in before class, and as I logged onto the Internet, I felt the terror that had already consumed the Eastern part of the United States. I turned on my television set just in time to witness the second plane crash into the World Trade Center (6:03 AM PST). The... |

THE DISCRIMINATION INHERENT IN AMERICA'S DRUG WAR: HIDDEN RACISM REVEALED BY EXAMINING THE HYSTERIA OVER CRACK |
54 Alabama Law Review 665 (Winter 2003) |
A significant, but decreasing, percentage of Americans believe the War on Drugs is justified, believing that the benefits outweigh the costs. If you are one of these people, consider the following: The United States spends approximately $1 billion a year to drug test approximately twenty million workers. Companies are finding out that fatigue and... |

THE EPIDEMIOLOGY OF CRITIQUE |

A decade and a half ago, I experienced my proverbial fifteen minutes of fame when Some Realism About Critical Legal Studies appeared in these pages. That certainly wasn't the plan. In much the same sense that all politics is local, all legal scholarship is surely local as well, and in its conception Some Realism was as local as could be. Written... |

THE FÜHRER PRINCIPLE OF INTERNATIONAL LAW: INDIVIDUAL RESPONSIBILITY AND COLLECTIVE PUNISHMENT |

I offer here an extended Nietzschean joke: the necessity of error in the constitution of individual authority and communal power. Communities--the nation-state, religious communities, terrorist organizations--are arranged through a cultivation of error: mistaking causes for effects, assuming a false causality, creating an imagined causality, and... |

The decisions in Bush v. Palm Beach County Canvassing Board (Bush I) and Bush v.

While the doctrinal value of the Bush decisions is certainly important, the Bush decisions are far more valuable for their... |
