RACIAL TARGETS |
118 Northwestern University Law Review 1455 (2024) |

Laws banning discrimination have been on the books across America for more than a century and a half.

Like many major American cities, San Diego in the mid-1980s was a tale of two cities: white and black. It took a horrifying incident in 1985 to show just how much the two communities were apart. On March 31, 1985, Sagon Penn, a 23-year-old, soft spoken and idealistic Buddhist, was driving a pickup truck in the Encanto area of Southeast San Diego... |

In this essay, we update and expand David Baldus's famous study of Georgia homicides in the 1970s to uncover the impact of the race and sex of homicide victims on whether a defendant was sentenced to death and ultimately executed. We show that the odds of a death sentence were sixteen times greater if the victim was a White woman than if the victim... |

STUDENT DEBT IS A RACIAL JUSTICE ISSUE: COULD ANTITRUST LAW PROVIDE A LEGAL AVENUE FOR RELIEF? |

The student loan crisis is a racial justice issue. Race/ethnicity is one of the strongest predictors of federal student loan default. Compared with other racial demographics, Black students are more likely to default and less likely to resume repayment after defaulting.

TAXING VULNERABLE CHILDREN AND FAMILIES THROUGH STATEGRAFT: IT IS TIME TO END RACIALIZED WEALTH EXTRACTION IN FOSTER CARE |

As unjust and counterproductive public policies go, taxing vulnerable children and families is among the worst. For years, experts have been sounding the alarm that foster care child support--making parents pay the state when it takes away their children--is bad family policy and fiscal policy. Importantly, critics have also pointed to the myriad... |
