MAKING SCHOOL INTEGRATION WORK IN NEW YORK CITY SCHOOLS: A LONG-TERM SOLUTION TO THE ENDURING PROBLEM OF SEGREGATION AND INEQUALITY |
48 Fordham Urban Law Journal 449 (February, 2021) |
New York City has one of the most segregated public school systems in the country. This is a pressing problem because school segregation creates a divide in access to well-trained teachers, advanced classes, and resources. Yet, in some gentrifying New York City neighborhoods, there are promising signs of more racially and socioeconomically diverse... |

MASSACHUSETTS APPELLATE COURTS MUST DO MORE TO PROTECT YOUNG BLACK PEOPLE FROM UNREASONABLE POLICE INTRUSION |
65-FALL Boston Bar Journal 11 (Fall, 2021) |
No Massachusetts case has explicitly incorporated the combined effects of the race and age of a juvenile in its legal analysis. There are some cases that recognize the impact of a defendant's youth and others that recognize the effects of societal racism. See, e.g., Commonwealth v. Perez, 480 Mass. 562 (2018) (non-homicide youth sentencing);... |

MICHIGAN SCHOOL DISCIPLINE |
100-FEB Michigan Bar Journal 32 (February, 2021) |
Fifty-five percent of all expulsions in Michigan involve students of color. Unequal enforcement of due process and recently reformed state laws are the driving force behind that disparity and Michigan's contribution to the school-to-prison-pipeline, but there are solutions. Michigan students have been subjected to overly harsh zero-tolerance laws... |

NOT YOUR MULE? DISRUPTING THE POLITICAL POWERLESSNESS OF BLACK WOMEN VOTERS |
92 University of Colorado Law Review 659 (Summer, 2021) |
On the one hundredth anniversary of the Nineteenth Amendment, this Article reflects on the legacy of Black women voters. The Article hypothesizes that even though suffrage was hard fought, it has not been a vehicle for Black women to meaningfully advance their political concerns. Instead, an inverse relationship exists between Black women's... |

OPPOSING VIEWPOINTS: SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICERS: DO THE BENEFITS TO STUDENT SAFETY OUTWEIGH THEIR NEGATIVE IMPACTS? |
41 Children's Legal Rights Journal 193 (2021) |
Schools have always been a place where parents expect their children to be safe and protected. Student resource officer (SRO) programs were created to protect students from violence, but in practice, the safety benefits are often outweighed by their negative effects, such as higher juvenile incarceration rates through the school-to-prison pipeline... |

The United States is finally recoiling from the mass incarceration crisis that has plagued it for half a century. The world's largest incarcerator has seen a small drop in prison numbers since 2008. However, the rate of decline is so slow that it would take half a century for incarceration numbers to reduce to historical levels. Further, the drop... |

The ever-growing list of names of Black victims who have died at the hands of police has emboldened a new public narrative that frames police violence--and other more commonplace, though less lethal, disparate policing practices--as a public health crisis rooted in this country's history of racism and anti-Blackness.

RACIAL DISPROPORTIONALITY AND THE SPECIAL EDUCATION PARADOX: THE DIVIDE BETWEEN LEGAL COMPLIANCE AND THE BEST PRACTICE(S) |

An interesting paradox arises with the racialization of disabilities [because the] civil rights response for one group of individuals (i.e., learners with disabilities) has become a potential source of inequities for another group (i.e., racial minority students), despite their shared histories of struggles for equity. In 2019, the U.S.... |

REIMAGINING SCHOOLS' ROLE OUTSIDE THE FAMILY REGULATION SYSTEM |
11 Columbia Journal of Race and Law 575 (July, 2021) |
The United States' family regulation system often begins with well-intentioned professionals making child protection hotline calls, jeopardizing their own ability to work with families and subjecting the families to surveillance. By the system's own standards, most of this surveillance leads to no meaningful action. Nowhere is this reality more... |

The Fair Housing Act (FHA) is an expansive and powerful piece of legislation that furthers equal housing in the United States by ferreting out discrimination in the housing market.
