THE MULTITUDINOUS RACIAL HARMS CAUSED BY FLORIDA'S ANTI-DEI AND "STOP WOKE" LAWS |
51 Fordham Urban Law Journal 785 (March, 2024) |
Since 2021, Florida has passed legislation that radically redefines how educators address race-related topics in the university classroom. Two laws in particular, House Bill 7 (HB 7 or the Stop WOKE Act) and Senate Bill 266 (SB 266), which outlaws diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs at Florida universities, have led the charge. The... |

THE MYTHOLOGY OF THE THREE LIARS AND THE CRIMINALIZATION OF SURVIVAL |
42 Yale Law and Policy Review 427 (Spring, 2024) |
There is nothing new about the legal system discounting the credibility of women, people of color, and people behind bars. Historically, the mythology of these three liars has given rise to evidentiary rules that equate female chastity with truthfulness, and Blackness (or its proxy--a criminal record) with dishonesty. Examples include the... |

The cultural debate heats up when the structure of American society appears to be in flux: moments of large-scale immigration (like the present), broad economic change (like the present), and shifting social relations (particularly when they involve changing racial or gender relations--again, like the present).

THE POLITICS OF PROPORTIONALITY IN STATE CIVIL RULEMAKING |
101 Denver Law Review 641 (Spring, 2024) |
In the wake of the 2015 amendments to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (FRCP)--particularly with the perceived constriction of discovery through the revised federal proportionality standard in Rule 26(b)(1)--a wave of critics quickly emerged. Some commentators highlighted how procedural reforms heightened barriers to accessing federal courts,... |

THE POST-RACIAL DECEPTION OF THE ROBERTS COURT |
77 SMU Law Review 7 (Winter, 2024) |
Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard/UNC (SFFA) is a post-racial deception unmoored from precedent and societal reality. SFFA deceives the polity and signals an all out assault on anti-discrimination law. To preserve its institutional legitimacy, the Roberts Court promotes doctrinal and conceptual distortions--post-racial deceptions of... |

THE PROCEDURAL JUSTICE INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX |

The singular focus on procedural justice police reform is dangerous. Procedurally just law enforcement encounters provide an empirically proven subjective sense of fairness and legitimacy, while obscuring substantively unjust outcomes emanating from a fundamentally unjust system. The deceptive simplicity of procedural justice - that a polite cop is... |

There's a war brewing in America and it will be fought not in the halls of Congress or the battlefield or the White House ellipse, but in fluorescent-lit school board meetings across the country.

WHY IS TITLE VII IN RETREAT? A SOCIOECONOMIC ANALYSIS OF THE RETRENCHMENT OF CONTEMPORARY CIVIL RIGHTS LAW |

This Article uses Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964-- the Title regulating employment discrimination--as a springboard for analysis in determining why civil rights law has seen a falling off. The conclusion is that although political reasons did play a large role in the retrenchment of civil rights law as it was conceived during the Civil... |
