38 Georgia State University Law Review 629 (Winter, 2022) |
Let us put the cannons of our eyes away forever. Our one and only Civil War is done. Let us tilt, rotate, strut on.

110 California Law Review 431 (April, 2022) |

Section 240.37 of the New York State Penal Code, colloquially known as the Walking While Trans Ban, is an example of our nation's commitment to its identity--defining the boundaries between what is deviant and non-deviant, what is normative and nonnormative.

"PIGS IN THE PARLOR": THE LEGACY OF RACIAL ZONING AND THE CHALLENGE OF AFFIRMATIVELY FURTHERING FAIR HOUSING IN THE SOUTH |
40 Mississippi College Law Review 5 (2022) |
The Fair Housing Act of 1968 includes a provision that requires that the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) administer the policies within the Act to affirmatively further fair housing.

"WITH ALL THE MAJESTY OF THE LAW": SYSTEMIC RACISM, PUNITIVE SENTIMENT, AND EQUAL PROTECTION |
110 California Law Review 371 (April, 2022) |
United States criminal justice policies have played a central role in the subjugation of persons of color. Under slavery, criminal law explicitly provided a means to ensure White dominion over Blacks and require Black submission to White authority. During Reconstruction, anticrime policies served to maintain White supremacy and re-enslave Blacks,... |

The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) is one of the government's most powerful spying tools, but the public knows little about how the law is used and cannot hold the government accountable for privacy violations and overreach.

A BROWN BUFFALO'S OBSERVATIONS ON COLOR (BLINDNESS), LEGAL HISTORY, AND RACIAL JUSTICE IN THE ROCKY MOUNTAIN WEST |
2022 Utah Law Review 751 (2022) |
Close your eyes and join me on a quintessential American road trip driving west along I-70. As our car hurtles through the corn and wheat fields of western Kansas at over eighty miles an hour, we imperceptibly are gaining altitude. As we cross the 100th meridian, the air becomes drier, the land more barren. Suddenly, a giant brown sign emerges on... |

A COMMISSION ON RECOGNITION AND RECONSTRUCTION FOR THE UNITED STATES: ILLUSORY OR INSPIRATIONAL? |
66 New York Law School Law Review 359 (2021/2022) |
The United States remains a deeply divided society, with the fault line continuing to be that of race and racism. Of course, this is not new, as W. E. B. Du Bois famously noted more than a century ago that the problem of the color line would be the central issue of the United States in the twentieth century. And so it remains today. The statistics... |

A PROSECUTOR WITH A SMOKING GUN: EXAMINING THE WEAPONIZATION OF RACE, PSYCHOPATHY, AND ASPD LABELS IN CAPITAL CASES |
53 Columbia Human Rights Law Review 624 (Spring, 2022) |
Prosecutors play a central role both in weaponizing personality disorder labels in capital cases and in oppressing Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) within the criminal legal system. This is especially true for antisocial and psychopathic personality disorder labels. Because there are common mechanisms underlying both processes, it... |

ABOLITION AND INTERNATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS: TAIWAN'S AFFIRMATION OF BLACK AMERICAN ABOLITIONIST MOVEMENTS |
57 Harvard Civil Rights-Civil Liberties Law Review 361 (Summer, 2022) |
America's use of police to maintain a social order that protects the interests of white upper-class citizens is similar to Taiwan's use of a police state to protect the interests of its authoritarian regime from 1945-1987. America's history and international positionality are vastly different from Taiwan's. However, grassroots movements that... |

ADDRESSING ASIAN (IN)VISIBILITY IN THE ACADEMY |

To be Asian American in the legal academy is to be caught between a paradox and a dichotomy, with both marked by silencing and erasure. The paradox exists within the term Asian American itself, as Asian and American have historically been posed as antithetical identities in U.S. history and jurisprudence. On one side is a representation of... |
