THE EMPTY PROMISE OF ENFORCEABLE COURT-ORDERED PARENTING PLANS IN THE ERA OF GRIEVANCES AND RIGHTEOUSNESS |
38 Journal of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers 167 (2025) |
Following the second inauguration of President Trump on January 20, 2025, the Executive Branch of the U.S. Government began issuing Executive Orders (EOs) which a president may generally use when Congress grants the president authority to act unilaterally and without additional Congressional legislation. This flurry of EOs directs the dismantling... |

THE FUTURE OF ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE CLAIMS UNDER TITLE VI: CAN THE ""SLEEPING GIANT" FINALLY BE AWAKENED? |
21 Stanford Journal of Civil Rights & Civil Liberties 105 (May, 2025) |
Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 has long been touted as a mechanism to combat environmental injustice. Federal agencies have interpreted the law to forbid federally funded activities that result in a discriminatory racial effect--or disparate impact. In response, practitioners have urged EPA to utilize Title VI's administrative complaint... |

19 FIU Law Review 1 (Spring, 2025) |
Among recent developments in family law, the most prevalent issue on legislative agendas has been Kincare as an alternative to non-relative foster care when maltreated children cannot remain with parents.

THE LANGUAGE OF MASS INCARCERATION AND ORGANIZED ABANDONMENT |
21 Stanford Journal of Civil Rights & Civil Liberties 43 (May, 2025) |
Our capacity to see and understand the extent of carceral violence is thwarted by the language and narratives employed by the judicial system. As evidenced by the Supreme Court's historicization of the factual record in Johnson v. California and other ancillary prison law cases, the judicial system mobilizes a language of mass incarceration: a... |

Racial resentment, stemming from perceptions that one racial group has unfairly lost opportunities to another, has profoundly shaped decades of affirmative action law. Affirmative action programs emerged in the 1960s to counteract racial discrimination and expand opportunities for racial minorities. However, some white applicants soon viewed these... |

For the over half-million people currently homeless in the United States, the U.S. Constitution has historically provided little help. In 2018, this changed. A series of Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals decisions gave homeless individuals a right to occupy public spaces with some of their belongings. The surprising source of the right was the Eighth... |

THE POLITICAL EFFECTS OF AFFIRMATIVE ACTION: EVIDENCE FROM COURT MANDATES TO LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES |

Affirmative action programs in public sector agencies are a canonical example of race-conscious remedial policy. While these regimes increase public sector diversity, they may also generate political backlash. In particular, they are thought to have increased support for the Republican Party in the 1970s and 1980s. Yet, there has been relatively... |

This Article develops a new framework for thinking about the place of race in Contracts. It argues that culture and context work in tandem in the form of cultural scripts to weave racial associations into texts where race is not explicitly identified. This suggests that the impact and influence of race in Contracts might have as much to do with... |

One of the criminal justice system's most overlooked features is that it is vulnerable to a tragedy of the commons: a collective action problem that destroys open-access resources. A tragedy of the commons occurs when too many users over-exploit an open-access resource, which results in its demise. Over-fishing, deforestation, and over-grazing are... |
