PROTECTING THE PANDEMIC ESSENTIAL WORKER |
85 Law and Contemporary Problems 177 (2022) |
In March 2020, states and cities tried to slow the spread of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) by issuing shelter-in-place or stay-at-home orders. Once the economic consequences of a total shutdown of the economy became clear, however, the federal government and states declared that certain business sectors or industries were critical.

RACE, GENDER, AND PLACE: HOW JUDICIAL IDENTITY AND LOCAL CONTEXT SHAPE ANTI-DISCRIMINATION DECISIONS |
56 Law and Society Review 188 (June, 2022) |
While federal anti-employment discrimination laws have helped diminish inequality at work, discrimination persists, in part perhaps due to unequal handling of equal employment lawsuits. Prior research demonstrates that the definition of discrimination can vary based on local normative ideas, while another line shows that a judge's race or gender... |

Acute crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic and the 2008 financial meltdown exposed and exacerbated chronic racial wealth disparities. Those disparities accumulated over time as government and private actions--often involving contracts--systemically benefitted White Americans and institutions at the expense of African-Americans.

Chances are, in a room of one hundred law firm partners in the United States, at most, one Black woman would be present.
