5 Health Matrix: Journal of Law-Medicine 443 (Summer 1995) |
Charleston , Oct. 5, 1993 - In the first case of its kind in the nation, the Center for Reproductive Law and Policy today urged the federal district court in South Carolina to enjoin a racially discriminatory program that threatens prosecution of pregnant women or women in labor who test positive for cocaine.

STATE v. GRAY: DE-CRIMINALIZATION OF MATERNAL DRUG ABUSE OR A MOMENTARY REPRIEVE? |
25 University of Toledo Law Review 1013 (1995) |
In State v. Gray, the Ohio Supreme Court considered whether a woman could be prosecuted under Ohio's existing child endangerment statute, Ohio Revised Code section 2919.22(A)(2), for ingesting cocaine during pregnancy. Although section 2919.22(A)(2) does not expressly protect a fetus, the state argued that section 2919.22(A)(2) implicitly extends... |

THE DRUG WAR: MYTH, REALITY AND POLITICS |
27 Connecticut Law Review 623 (Winter, 1995) |
Professor Steven Duke has presented an erudite and well-reasoned analysis of many of the defects of the current national policy surrounding the Drug War. The Drug War is ostensibly designed to reduce illegal drug use and thus, among other things, increase compliance with the law. Ironically, as Professor Duke correctly states, the Drug War's... |

THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING MORE THAN EARNEST: WHY THE CASE FOR DRUG LEGALIZATION REMAINS UNPROVEN |
27 Connecticut Law Review 659 (Winter, 1995) |
LADY BRACKNELL: Ahem! Mr. Worthing, after careful consideration I have decided entirely to overlook my nephew's conduct to you. JACK: That is very generous of you, Lady Bracknell. Part, no doubt, of the appeal of arguments for legalizing recreational drugs is the generous spirit in which they are usually advanced. Some, like Mayor Kurt Schmoke,... |

A. The Disparate Impact of the Federal Sentencing Guidelines' Sentences for Crack Cocaine Distribution As publicity about the evils of crack cocaine grew in the 1980s, law enforcement officers and concerned citizens began calling for tougher criminal sanctions to deal with what they perceived as a crack epidemic.

Popular support for drug prohibitionespecially among those who have given the matter any thoughtis like support for George Bush just after Operation Desert Storm: very broad and very thin.

COUNTERSPEECH AS AN ALTERNATIVE TO PROHIBITION: PROPOSED FEDERAL REGULATION OF TOBACCO PROMOTION IN AMERICAN MOTORSPORT |

Whatever it is permitted to do, it must be permitted to advise to do. The question is doubtful only when the instigator derives a personal benefit from his advice; when he makes it his occupation, for subsistence or pecuniary gain, to promote what society and the State consider to be an evil. . . . The case is one of those which lie on the exact... |

CRIME, DRUGS, AND THE FOURTH AMENDMENT: A REPLY TO PROFESSOR RUDOVSKY |

Professor Rudovsky claims in this Symposium that the war on drugs, initiated by President Reagan, is widely regarded as a political and social failure. The war on drugs is a failure, he maintains, because eleven years and billions of dollars after its declaration, we continue to experience widespread abuse of drugs, high levels of violence, and... |

DRUG RHETORIC, COURTS, AND THE LAW: A RESPONSE TO PROFESSOR RUDOVSKY |

Effective expression, the persuasive use of language, rhetoric-all lawyers use it. I certainly did, and I do, and I am about to do it again. A judge has a different perspective on rhetoric because the judge is usually its target or, when a jury sits, its referee. And I write now as though I were the target and the referee of Professor Rudovsky's... |

IN PERPETUAL MOTION: THE CONTINUING SIGNIFICANCE OF RACE AND AMERICA'S DRUG CRISIS |
1994 University of Chicago Legal Forum 83 (1994) |
Race continues to be a significant factor, at every level of society, in shaping the destiny and development of millions of people of color in the United States. It is thus not surprising, indeed, it was expected, that the wars on drugs in the 1980s and early 1990s would impact, perhaps disproportionately, the African-American community. As Michael... |

MISSOURI UPS THE ANTE IN THE DRUG FORFEITURE "RACE TO THE RES" |
72 Washington University Law Quarterly 1469 (Fall, 1994) |
Forfeiture of property under federal law is big business. To the chagrin of state lawmakers, the principal beneficiaries of the federal forfeiture bounty have been state and local law enforcement agencies. In order to increase their share of the asset forfeiture windfall, many states have enacted forfeiture provisions designed to supplant federal... |

Michael Tonry accuses those of us who formed and implemented the anti-drug policies of the Bush Administration of racism.

In order to contrive this calumny, Tonry misrepresents the... |

SMOKED NOT SNORTED: IS RACISM INHERENT IN OUR CRACK COCAINE LAWS? |
45 Washington University Journal of Urban and Contemporary Law 121 (Winter, 1994) |
There comes a time when we cannot and must not close our eyes when presented with evidence that certain laws, regardless of the purpose for which they were enacted, discriminate unfairly on the basis of race, e.g., that for the murder of a white person in Georgia, a black person is more than twice as likely as a white person to be sentenced to... |

Twelve years ago, President Reagan declared yet another War on Drugs. Today, after the expenditure of billions of dollars on a policy built primarily on the coercion and punishment of drug distributors and users, the War on Drugs has failed to reduce significantly, much less eliminate, drugs as a problem in our society. There have been scattered... |

"GET OFF YOUR BUTTS": THE EMPLOYER'S RIGHT TO REGULATE EMPLOYEE SMOKING |
60 Tennessee Law Review 905 (Summer, 1993) |
Smokers in the workplace are the modern day lepers. In order to smoke, many are exiled into cramped smokers' lounges or pushed outside into the cold by employer policies requiring a smoke-free workplace. For others who smoke, the situation is even more grim because some employers simply refuse to hire smokers. Smokers complain that this treatment... |

There was of course no way of knowing whether you were being watched at any given moment. How often, or on what system, the Thought Police plugged in on any individual wire was guesswork. It was even conceivable that they watched everybody all the time. But at any rate they could plug in your wire whenever they wanted to. You had to live--did live,... |

On the night of July 30, 1992, law enforcement authorities set up a narcotics checkpoint on Interstate 35W south of Minneapolis, Minnesota, randomly stopping 650 cars.
