413 West's Education Law Reporter 9 (8/31/2023) |
Affirmative action, also referred to as race-conscious admissions, terms used interchangeably in this article, has always rested on a tortured and legally precarious proposition, namely that in order to eliminate racial discrimination in higher education it is necessary to discriminate on the basis of race in admissions. Unlike earlier cases such... |

47 Law and Human Behavior 23 (February, 2023) |
Objective: We explored whether racial disparities in evidence-based suspicion (i.e., evidence of guilt prior to placement in a lineup) provide a better explanation of racial disparities in exonerations based on eyewitness misidentification than the own-race bias in eyewitness identifications. Hypotheses: We predicted that the own-race bias in... |

PROVING INTRA-RACIAL DISCRIMINATION IN THE U.S. AND CANADA: THE ROOM FOR MAKING THE ARTIFICIAL DISTINCTION BETWEEN GENEALOGICAL RELATEDNESS AND RACE |
54 University of Miami Inter-American Law Review 1 (Spring, 2023) |
This article takes the role of the Devil's advocate in order to question the judicial willingness to distinguish race from comparable notions. It suggests that, depending on the exact circumstances, a defendant can make an arguable case that the alleged intra-racial discrimination is motivated by perceived genealogical relatedness, but not... |

RACE, ENTRAPMENT, AND MANUFACTURING "HOMEGROWN TERRORISM" |
111 Georgetown Law Journal 381 (March, 2023) |
At what point does offensive speech cross the line from being constitutionally protected to criminal? Rarely--would be the response of a free speech purist. Indeed, the First Amendment is intended to protect unpopular, offensive, and even subversive speech. Although this lesson may be taught to American schoolchildren, it is not the lived... |

Race, indigeneity, and migration are integrally related in international law. This relationship can be traced to their origins in a legal system dedicated to facilitating European colonialism and imperial expansion.

In 1922, the League of Nations inscribed the goal of establishing a settler colony in Palestine for the Jewish people--in denial of the national self-determination of the Indigenous Arab population--in public international law.

Peremptory challenges based on race continue to keep some prospective jurors from serving on juries, but several states, including Washington, California, and Arizona, have taken action and are now trying to address this problem.

Race scholars have voiced concerns about the field of c riminology and how it examines issues pertaining to race, racism, and racial difference.

RACE-ING ANTITRUST |
121 Michigan Law Review 523 (February, 2023) |
Antitrust law has a race problem. To spot an antitrust violation, courts inquire into whether an act has degraded consumer welfare. Since anticompetitive practices are often assumed to enhance consumer welfare, antitrust offenses are rarely found. Key to this framework is that antitrust treats all consumers monolithically; that consumers are... |

RACIAL BIAS IN JURY SELECTION HURTS MOCK JURORS, NOT JUST DEFENDANTS: TESTING ONE POTENTIAL INTERVENTION |
47 Law and Human Behavior 153 (February, 2023) |
Objectives: Prosecutors often use race as a basis for excluding Black jurors in cases with Black defendants. The current research tested whether this practice influences juror attitudes (Study 1).

This paper highlights the prevalence of racial discrimination in the home appraisal market through critical race theory (CRT) techniques and theory. When a home's value can be reduced by almost twenty-five percent simply because of the perceived race of its owners or of the neighborhood, Black families find themselves at a disadvantage as they try... |

RACIAL DIVERSITY AND LAW FIRM ECONOMICS |

There is an eternal temptation to think that if one recognizes a moral problem and does something about it, then one is blameless even if the action taken does not solve the problem. We usually recognize that it is absurd to credit intent when the disconnect from results is vast--consider the rightfully mocked tendency of people to respond to... |

Two broad trends inform public K-12 education's current trajectory.

American society is greatly polarized and divided on many issues, including issues relative to racial reconciliation.
