A BOOK OF LAUGHTER AND FORGETTING: KALMAN'S "STRANGE CAREER" AND THE MARKETING OF CIVIC REPUBLICANISM |
111 Harvard Law Review 1025 (February, 1998) |
When I was a student at Harvard Law School in 1985, I attended a symposium. I no longer remember the topic, but the tenor of the talks and the basic plot of the event--for it turned into something of a spectacle--remain in my memory. In a large law school auditorium, monitored by the oil-painted visages of bygone legal sages, students and faculty... |

A TALE OF NEW PRECEDENTS: JAPANESE AMERICAN INTERNMENT AS FOREIGN AFFAIRS LAW |
19 Boston College Third World Law Journal 179 (Fall, 1998) |
In a recently published book on the status of civil liberties in wartime, Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist offers a surprising defense and rationalization of the Japanese American internment. One might have assumed that the official debate on the internment had closed in 1988 when, in an exceptional act of national contrition, President Ronald... |

A UNIFIED THEORY OF JUSTICE: THE INTEGRATION OF FAIRNESS INTO EFFICIENCY |
73 Washington Law Review 249 (April, 1998) |
Abstract: An idea generally shared by both economists and philosophers is that a legal rule may either achieve distributive fairness or bring about an efficient outcome, but not both. In this Article, the authors argue that justice requires that legal rules consider both fairness and efficiency. The Article discusses the Coase Theorem, as a tool... |

We cannot invent our facts. Either Elvis Presley is dead or he isn't. --Eric Hobsbawm Evidence, like clue or proof, is a crucial word for the historian and the judge.

AGAINST COMMON SENSE: WHY TITLE VII SHOULD PROTECT SPEAKERS OF BLACK ENGLISH |
31 University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform 637 (Spring 1998) |
The speech of many black Americans is marked by phrases such as we be writin' or we don't have no problems. Because most listeners consider such Black English speech patterns incorrect, these speakers face significant disadvantages in the job market. But common sense suggests that there is nothing discriminatory about employers' negative... |

In a recent article, Steven Gey takes strenuous issue with proposals to regulate racist and misogynistic hate speech. Focusing on the work of Mari Matsuda, Charles Lawrence, and myself in the hate-speech area, and Catharine MacKinnon and Andrea Dworkin in the area of pornography regulation, Gey mounts the most sustained attack yet on the view that... |

Your world is as big as you make it. I know, for I used to abide In the narrowest nest in a corner, My wings pressing close to my side.

BUILDING BRIDGES III--PERSONAL NARRATIVES, INCOHERENT PARADIGMS, AND PLURAL CITIZENS |
19 Chicano-Latino Law Review 303 (Spring 1998) |
Because we never had a chance to talk, to teach each other and learn from each other, racism had diminished all the lives it touched. . . . Our young must be taught that racial peculiarities do exist, but that beneath the skin, beyond the differing features and into the true heart of being, fundamentally, we are more alike, my friend, than unalike.... |

CRITICAL TAX THEORY: STILL NOT TAKEN SERIOUSLY |
76 North Carolina Law Review 1837 (June, 1998) |
[F]eminism is about taking all women seriously, which requires eliciting the differences and conflicts among women. But in the overall feminist scheme of things, any arguable injustice caused by QTIPs to affluent (and overwhelmingly white) widows is simply trivial. Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes once said: Taxes are what we pay for civilized... |

This characteristic suggests its immediate relevance for major intellectual legal debates and practical legal issues of our time which also focus on the role of the different or other.

DECONSTRUCTING HOMO[GENEOUS] AMERICANUS: THE WHITE ETHNIC IMMIGRANT NARRATIVE AND ITS EXCLUSIONARY EFFECT |
72 Tulane Law Review 1493 (May, 1998) |
This Article examines why the assumption of sameness is so pervasive in our society, and why the very idea of diversity is so resisted. The assumption and the corollary mandate to be the same are embedded in American cultural ideology, in how Americans think of themselves, in the stories that we tell regarding who we are and where we come from, in... |

DEMYSTIFYING THE ASIAN AMERICAN NEO-CONSERVATIVE: A STRANGE AND NEW POLITICAL ANIMAL? |

Asian American neo-conservatives are the product of the 1960s Asian American movement, yet they have diverged in principle from its modern-day progressive flag-bearers. This divergence, Mr. Wang observes, has led to the exclusion of neo-conservatives from the debate over the political direction of Asian Americans. Mr. Wang seeks to de-mystify... |

DIVERSITY IN A DIFFERENT DIMENSION: EVOLUTIONARY THEORY AND AFFIRMATIVE ACTION'S DESTINY |
59 Ohio State Law Journal 811 (1998) |
Bakke is banal, and the affirmative action debate is dishonest. Two decades of doctrinal deadlock have shed little or not light on diversity, the only viable justification for race-conscious university admissions. We can break the logjam by entertaining a series of elaborate legal analogies. The law seeks to protect diversity in many domains,... |

EXPANDING THE CIRCLE OF MEMBERSHIP BY RECONSTRUCTING THE "ALIEN" : LESSONS FROM SOCIAL PSYCHOLOGY AND THE "PROMISE ENFORCEMENT" CASES |

Recent legal scholarship suggests that the Supreme Court's decisions on immigrants' rights favor conceptions of membership over personhood. Federal courts are often reluctant to recognize the personal rights claims of noncitizens because they are not members of the United States. Professor Michael Scaperlanda argues that because the courts have... |
