OF BIAS AND EXCLUSION: AN EMPIRICAL STUDY OF DIVERSITY JURISDICTION, ITS AMOUNT-IN-CONTROVERSY REQUIREMENT, AND BLACK ALIENATION FROM U.S. CIVIL COURTS |
13 Georgetown Journal of Law & Modern Critical Race Perspectives 1 (Winter, 2021) |
Maybe ever'body in the whole damn world is scared of each other. Empirical studies find that Black Americans distrust the U.S. justice system because they believe that it will not treat them fairly. The well-developed empirical literature on race and the criminal justice system demonstrates that this belief is well founded. At the same time, the... |

Poor health outcomes are linked to long-standing wealth disparities for people of color in the United States. Wealth inequality has gotten worse over the past decades, despite attempts to improve it.
