Cyra Akila Choudhury , Shruti Rana ADDRESSING ASIAN (IN)VISIBILITY IN THE ACADEMY 51 Southwestern Law Review 287 (2022) To be Asian American in the legal academy is to be caught between a paradox and a dichotomy, with both marked by silencing and erasure. The paradox exists within the term Asian American itself, as Asian and American have historically been posed as antithetical identities in U.S. history and jurisprudence. On one side is a representation of... 2022
Leticia M. Saucedo Addressing Segregation in the Brown Collar Workplace: Toward a Solution for the Inexorable 100% 41 University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform 447 (Winter 2008) Despite public perception to the contrary, segregated workplaces exist in greater number today than ever before, largely because of the influx of newly arrived immigrant workers to low-wage industries throughout the country.

Scott Aronin ADDRESSING THE DELIBERATIVE DEFICIT: A PROPOSAL TO IMPROVE THE BALLOT-INITIATIVE PROCESS 34 Stanford Law and Policy Review 181 (2023) The ballot initiative, a form of direct democracy practiced across the country, is often held up as a model of implementing the people's will and, therefore, achieving democracy's most fundamental aim. But with direct popular control over policymaking comes a cost: limited deliberative processes to develop proposals. I call this cost the... 2023

  AFFIRMATIVE DUTIES IN IMMIGRATION DETENTION 134 Harvard Law Review 2486 (May, 2021) Detention has become an undeniably central part of immigration enforcement today. In principle, the constitutional right to be free from deprivation of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law extends to all persons within U.S. territory, regardless of citizenship. In practice, due process for noncitizen detainees tends to be far... 2021
Jeena Shah Affirming Affirmative Action by Affirming White Privilege: Sffa V. Harvard 108 Georgetown Law Journal Online 134 (2020) Harvard College's race-based affirmative action measures for student admissions survived trial in a federal district court.

Bolatito Kolawole African Immigrants, Intersectionality, and the Increasing Need for Visibility in the Current Immigration Debate 7 Columbia Journal of Race and Law 373 (2017) Africans are one of the fastest growing immigrant groups in the United States, yet their presence receives very little attention in public discourse about immigration.

Judy Scales-Trent African Women in France: Immigration, Family, and Work 24 Brooklyn Journal of International Law 705 (1999) In the Fall of 1997, much of the news in France seemed to lead back to Africa-- back to reminders of French colonization on that continent, back to the painful memories of those years. Most of this news centered on Algeria. It was a time when waves of terrorism were sweeping Algeria. As residents of entire villages were being slaughtered at random,... 1999

Markowitz After Ice: a New Humane & Effective Immigration Enforcement Paradigm 55 Wake Forest Law Review 89 (Spring, 2020) In recent years, as the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency's (ICE) brutal tactics have devasted communities across the nation, a growing chorus of activists and policymakers have begun calling for the agency to be abolished. Abolish ICE advocates have made a compelling case for the irredeemable deficiencies of ICE; they have exposed... 2020
Stephen Macedo After the Backlash: Populism and the Politics and Ethics of Migration 14 Law & Ethics of Human Rights 153 (November, 2020) Abstract: In the U.S., and elsewhere, populism has been democracy's way of shaking elites up. We can view populism in part as a revolt of the losers, or perceived losers, of globalization. Yet elites have often paid too little heed to the domestic distributive impact of high immigration and globalized trade. Immigration and globalization are also... 2020

Keith Cunningham-Parmeter Alien Language: Immigration Metaphors and the Jurisprudence of Otherness 79 Fordham Law Review 1545 (March, 2011) Metaphors tell the story of immigration law.

John Gibeaut Alien Resurrection: Justices Open the Door for States to Control Immigration Status 97-AUG ABA Journal 22 (August, 2011) In one respect, the U.S. Supreme Court issued an opinion so narrow it squeaked when it upheld an Arizona state law that can harshly punish employers who hire illegal immigrants. Indeed, Arizona business leaders say they expect little change in their state as a result of the May 26 decision in Chamber of Commerce v. Whiting. But in another respect,... 2011
Amy F. Kimpel ALIENATING CRIMINAL PROCEDURE 37 Georgetown Immigration Law Journal 237 (Winter, 2023) The paradigmatic federal criminal case is not the prosecution of Elizabeth Holmes or John Gotti, but rather that of a poor immigrant of color for a low-level border offense. There persists a perception that federal criminal court is reserved for complex crimes that require robust resources to prosecute and defend. These resources are said to fund... 2023

Martin H. Malin Alt Labor? Why We Still Need Traditional Labor 95 Chicago-Kent Law Review 157 (2020) The United States' workplace is characterized by income inequality, and there is strong evidence that the decline of collective bargaining has played a significant role in that phenomenon.

Kenzo S. Kawanabe American Anti-immigrant Rhetoric Against Asian Pacific Immigrants: the Present Repeats the past 10 Georgtown Immigration Law Journal 681 (Summer, 1996) These words signify the ideal on which America, the nation of immigrants, was built. Whether in 1820 or 1996, through Ellis Island or Angel Island, the American immigrant, inspired by the hopes and dreams of a better life, has brought human capital to this nation. With the exception of Native Americans and indigenous Hawaiian Americans, most... 1996

Gabriela Vasquez AMERICAN EXCLUSION DOCTRINE: A RESPONSE TO LIBERAL DEFENSES OF STARE DECISIS 28 National Black Law Journal 1 (2022) Stare decisis has long been considered a conservative doctrine.

Mehwish Shaukat American Muslim Women: Who We Are and What We Demand from Feminist Jurisprudence 31 Hastings Women's Law Journal 155 (Summer, 2020) It is time for feminist jurisprudence to recognize American Muslim women (AMW) as a distinct and agentic group. For too long, feminist discourse has victimized and objectified Muslim women. Our identities are constructed, deconstructed, and weaponized to suit third party needs; yet, our voices are rarely heard. When feminist legal theories... 2020
