OF MICE AND MEN, FAIRY TALES, AND LEGENDS: A REACTIONARY ETHICAL PROPOSAL TO STORYTELLING AND THE BRISEÑO FACTORS |
26 Georgetown Journal of Legal Ethics 859 (Fall, 2013) |
In reviewing Texas' adherence to the Briseño factors--non-scientific standards inspired by the character Lennie in Of Mice and Men and not by actual science or clinical protocol --it is evident that the use of storytelling can have a result that even Critical Race theorists would not desire. Critical Race theorists have traditionally been against... |

"SO CLOSELY INTERTWINED": LABOR AND RACIAL SOLIDARITY |
81 George Washington Law Review 1135 (July, 2013) |
Conventional wisdom tells us that labor unions and people of color are adversaries. Commentators, academics, politicians, and employers across a broad range of ideologies view the two groups' interests as fundamentally opposed and their relationship as predictably fraught with tension. For example, commentators assert that unions capture a wage... |

The justice, business, and education cases for diversity are widely discussed and reported elsewhere in depth. While the common value of diversity is recognized in each realm, moving from discussion to reality for diversity in any of these realms remains elusive.

A VALUES-BASED PEDAGOGY FOR THE LEGAL ACADEMY IN A POST-RACIAL ERA |

[E]ven if eradicating racism is an impossible goal, the fight for tolerance and equality carries an inherent value. Post-racial America is redefining diversity in the legal academy. Despite the views of many observers that the election of the first African-American President of the United States ushered the nation into an era of racial idealism,... |

Unlike other social categories, such as race, gender, sexual identity, and disability, the legal academy has bestowed scant critical examination on the category of childhood. Yet like other socio-legal categories with natural referents, childhood masks the contingency and normativity of behavior, expectations, power, and regulation, rendering the... |
