THE CLINTONIFICATION OF AMERICAN LAW: ABORTION, WELFARE, AND LIBERAL CONSTITUTIONAL THEORY |
58 Ohio State Law Journal 731 (1997) |
President Clinton's policy priorities, particularly his commitment to abortion rights and neglect of rights to basic welfare, are becoming entrenched in the American legal system. These priorities are mirrored by the past twenty-five years of Supreme Court precedent and increasingly shared by liberal constitutional theorists. Whereas Clinton's... |

THE CONSTRUCTION OF RACE AND CLASS BUFFERS IN THE STRUCTURE OF IMMIGRATION CONTROLS AND LAWS |
76 Oregon Law Review 731 (Fall 1997) |
In the midst of current anti-immigration sentiment, which is motivating dramatic changes in the United States' immigration laws, there exists the myth that prior immigration laws were more equitable and humanitarian. Yet historical analysis reveals that immigration law has been put to uses far from idyllic, and has always been concerned with the... |

18 Berkeley Journal of Employment and Labor Law 183 (1997) |
Since the enactment of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 the courts have struggled to define the burdens of proof surrounding the central issue of an employer's alleged discriminatory intent. What evolved was the McDonnell Douglas framework, premised upon established concepts of circumstantial proof and inference. The approach permits... |

THE ERA OF WE-CONSTRUCTION: RECLAIMING THE POLITICS OF ASIAN PACIFIC AMERICAN IDENTITY AND REFLECTIONS ON THE CRITIQUE OF THE BLACK/WHITE PARADIGM |
29 Columbia Human Rights Law Review 47 (Fall 1997) |
My six-year-old half-Asian son has just had his first Ching Chong Chinaman taunting in school. I was expecting it, but it threw me off-balance nevertheless. He said it hurt his feelings and asked me for answers. I, of course, had none. I thought about what the appropriate response was for a six-year-old whose new consciousness of racism had begun... |

My grandfather Severin on my father's side was always very kind to me. I remember when I was five or six years old, my father would drive us down from our apartment in the Bronx to meet grandfather on the Upper West Side of Manhattan.

THE LEGACY OF RACIALLY RESTRICTIVE IMMIGRATION LAWS AND POLICIES AND THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE AMERICAN NATIONAL IDENTITY |
76 Oregon Law Review 369 (Summer 1997) |
the ongoing struggle of defining what it means to be American has infected public policy and political debates in a manner that almost defies characterization. The rhetoric about the threats to the American way of life posed by noncitizens is linked to immigration policy because of a heightened awareness of the increased presence of noncitizens... |

THE MYTH OF BLACK JUROR NULLIFICATION: RACISM DRESSED UP IN JURISPRUDENTIAL CLOTHING |
7 Cornell Journal of Law & Public Policy 57 (Fall 1997) |
In recent years, African-American (and other minority) jurors have regularly been accused of judging cases on preconceived race-based notions about justice rather than on the evidence. Anecdotal accounts of a handful of allegedly race-based acquittals are bolstered by statistics claiming to show higher rates of acquittal and hung juries in... |

THE POLITICAL ECONOMY OF RACIAL DISCOURSE |
9 Yale Journal of Law & the Humanities 217 (Winter 1997) |
Much of contemporary legal scholarship expresses a narrative impulse. Eschewing the traditional norms and forms of legal scholarship, many professors have turned to storytelling to capture issues not easily elucidated through more conventional approaches. Although the narrative approach has recently come to prominence through the writings of... |

WHO IS BLACK ENOUGH FOR YOU? AN ANALYSIS OF NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY LAW SCHOOL'S STRUGGLE OVER MINORITY FACULTY HIRING |

Prevalent constructions of race and identity have oversimplified complex issues about how people of color identify themselves and are identified by others. Identifying people of color in absolute and essential terms only compounds this problem. In 1994, Northwestern Law School decided not to hire Maria O'Brien Hylton, a female professor of color... |

However, there is a growing sense among the relatively few Asian American law faculty that Asian Americans are not included in affirmative action hiring efforts. The author... |

For a glorious brief moment a hundred years ago, American jurisprudence experienced the thrill of trans-Atlantic recognition. The leading British jurists looked to America, and especially to the Harvard Law School, as the new Athens of legal thought. From then on things have mostly gone downhill. British legal theorists have generally regarded... |

The problem of performativity is thus immediately bound up with a question of transitivity. What does it mean for a word not only to name, but also in some sense to perform and, in particular,... |
