"A DANGEROUS, REVERBERATING SILENCE": RACIAL SILENCE, WHITE MONEY, AND SCOTUS? |
55 Seton Hall Law Review 847 (2025) |
The result and the reasoning in Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard did not occur in a historic vacuum.

"INTOLERABLE" INQUIRIES |
99 Saint John's Law Review 1 (2025) |
Pretextual traffic stops are constitutional. In fact, they are common in drug interdiction efforts and seem to be easy to initiate lawfully. Without clear boundaries, however, they also serve as a catalyst for police to extend traffic stop seizures to investigate unrelated crimes without cause. In Whren v. United States, the Supreme Court of... |

Much of education law scholarship on school segregation has focused on majority-minority schools.
