SAMPLING AS TRANSFORMATION: RE-EVALUATING COPYRIGHT'S TREATMENT OF SAMPLING TO END ITS DISPROPORTIONATE HARM ON BLACK ARTISTS |
70 American University Law Review Forum 227 (May, 2021) |
The copyright doctrine governing the creation, publication, and sale of sample-based music makes it devastatingly expensive for artists to clear the samples that they use in their music. Consequently, most artists, aside from established artists with access to the deep pockets of their record labels, simply cannot afford to produce and release... |

SCHOOL POLICE REFORM: A PUBLIC HEALTH IMPERATIVE |
74 SMU Law Review Forum 118 (August, 2021) |
Out of the twin pandemics currently gripping the United States--deaths of unarmed Black victims at the hands of police and racialized health inequities resulting from COVID-19--an antiracist health equity agenda has emerged that identifies racism as a public health crisis.

SHUTTING DOWN THE SCHOOL-TO-PRISON PIPELINE |
94 Southern California Law Review Postscript 80 (April, 2021) |
When a student misbehaves, race plays a role in how harshly the student is disciplined. Given the long history of racial discrimination in the United States, as well as prevalent implicit biases, Black and Latino students are disciplined at higher rates with stiffer punishments than their white peers. This higher level of discipline leads to a... |
