Anthony D. Taibi RACIAL JUSTICE IN THE AGE OF THE GLOBAL ECONOMY: COMMUNITY EMPOWERMENT AND GLOBAL STRATEGY 44 Duke Law Journal 928 (March, 1995) When a struggle can be resolved legally, it is certainly not dangerous; it becomes so precisely when the legal equilibrium is recognised to be impossible. (Which does not mean that by abolishing the barometer one can abolish bad weather.) Antonio Gramsci We are in the midst of radical changes in the structure of the economy and social life, changes... 1995  
John O. Calmore RACIALIZED SPACE AND THE CULTURE OF SEGREGATION: "HEWING A STONE OF HOPE FROM A MOUNTAIN OF DESPAIR" 143 University of Pennsylvania Law Review 1233 (May, 1995) Racial discrimination not only produces a societal injury, it strikes at the dignity of the individual. It says to the individual that no matter how much money you have, no matter what your social position is, you cannot live here. To most people, that message is malignant. It strikes at the victim's personhood, and if left to fester, will poison... 1995

Jane M. Spinak REFLECTIONS ON A CASE (OF MOTHERHOOD) 95 Columbia Law Review 1990 (December, 1995) Inanimate materials decay over time, but for the mind, time is not the principle of dissolution but rather the medium in which we create the present by reconstructing the past.

Anne M. Coughlin REGULATINGTHE SELF: AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL PERFORMANCES IN OUTSIDER SCHOLARSHIP 81 Virginia Law Review 1229 (August 1, 1995) In a word the self has two characteristics. It is unjust in itself for making itself centre of everything: it is a nuisance to others in that it tries to subjugate them, for each self is the enemy of all the others and would like to tyrannize them. Blaise Pascal WHAT is the meaning of the experiences for which human actors desire a legal remedy?... 1995  
Richard Delgado RODRIGO'S FINAL CHRONICLE: CULTURAL POWER, THE LAW REVIEWS, AND THE ATTACK ON NARRATIVE JURISPRUDENCE 68 Southern California Law Review 545 (March, 1995) I was sipping a cup of nondescript, institutional tea in hopes of soothing my jangled nerves in the low-budget, take-out restaurant in the basement of the huge, 1200 -room hotel where the Association of American Law Schools (AALS) was holding its annual meeting. It was only the third day of the conference, and I felt wearier than usual. I wondered... 1995  
Francisco Valdes SEX AND RACE IN QUEER LEGAL CULTURE: RUMINATIONS ON IDENTITIES & INTER-CONNECTIVITIES 5 Southern California Review of Law and Women's Studies 25 (Fall 1995) Lesbians in the Law, as persons, have a subversive and transformative potential that perhaps exceeds and transcends the ability of other women or of gay men to subvert and transform legal doctrine and legal culture. This potential exists because lesbians embody and project a key site of ideological convergence: the social and legal (mis)use of... 1995  
Richard Delgado STARK KARST 93 Michigan Law Review 1460 (May, 1995) It is said that if you really want to know about the habits of foxes, you ought to ask a chicken. By the same token, if one is interested in learning about conservatives and the conservative agenda, one should read what the liberals are writing. No one is better at keeping tabs on the far right than a liberal, for whom the activities and agendas of... 1995

Deborah C. Malamud THE LAST MINUET: DISPARATE TREATMENT AFTER HICKS 93 Michigan Law Review 2229 (August 1, 1995) It is no secret that the Supreme Court's Title VII jurisprudence cloaks substance in the curious garb of procedure. When the Supreme Court talks about employment discrimination under Title VII, it generally does so by creating and refining special proof structures -- different methods of proving discrimination. This emphasis on procedure comes at... 1995

The Legal Services Corporation (LSC), the primary provider of legal services for the poor, is beleaguered.

Berta Esperanza Hernandez-Truyol VIRTUAL EQUALITY AS CONSTITUTIONAL REALITY: AN INTRODUCTION 11 Saint John's Journal of Legal Commentary 1 (Fall 1995) Liberty finds no refuge in a jurisprudence of doubt. Equality is, to be sure, an elusive concept. More often than not, we find it much easier to describe what is unequal (we know it when we see it) than affirmatively to explain equality. This definitional dilemma rises to new heights when courts, in exercising their interpretive legal functions,... 1995

Louis E. Wolcher WHAT WE DO NOT DOUBT: A CRITICAL LEGAL PERSPECTIVE 46 Hastings Law Journal 1783 (August 1, 1995) These remarks offer a perspective. It is a perspective from which the existence of limits on thought and speech about law can be recognized and accepted -- not just as a theory, but as a fact of life. There can be no doubt about it: the illusion that there is, in principle, nothing of importance that human beings cannot think and speak about has... 1995
