BORDERS ARE THE REAL CRISIS: A PUBLIC HEALTH PERSPECTIVE ON THE NEED FOR DISMANTLING IMAGINED BORDERS |
36 Georgetown Immigration Law Journal 847 (Winter, 2022) |
The United States follows a typical script when it comes to addressing unauthorized migration. Pictures of migrants at the border are featured on the front page of every newspaper, intentionally amplifying the violence and hardships faced by migrants. Some use these pictures to villainize the migrants, justifying the violence against them. Others... |

BREACH BY VIOLENCE: THE FORGOTTEN HISTORY OF SHARECROPPER LITIGATION IN THE POST-SLAVERY SOUTH |
69 UCLA Law Review 674 (May, 2022) |
This Article uses private law as a lens and a guide to excavate an unfamiliar story about labor and racial violence in the post-slavery south. It is the story of farmers like Colonel Bishop, whose landlord attacked him in the middle of the night in an effort to coerce him into breaching his contract. Violent breaches of contract such as these were... |

CAN'T REALLY TEACH: CRT BANS IMPOSE UPON TEACHERS' FIRST AMENDMENT PEDAGOGICAL RIGHTS |
75 Vanderbilt Law Review 1925 (November, 2022) |
The jurisprudence governing K-12 teachers' speech protection has been a convoluted hodgepodge of caselaw since the 1960s when the Supreme Court established that teachers retain at least some First Amendment protection as public educators. Now, as new so-called Critical Race Theory bans prohibit an array of hot button topics in the classroom, K-12... |

57 Gonzaga Law Review 365 (2021/2022) |

CIVIL RIGHTS CATCH-22S |
43 Cardozo Law Review 1855 (June, 2022) |
Civil rights advocates have long viewed litigation as a vital path to social change. In many ways, it is. But in key respects that remain underexplored in legal scholarship, even successful litigation can hinder remedial projects. This perverse effect stems from civil rights doctrines that incentivize litigants (or their attorneys) to foreground... |

COERCIVE CONTROL AND THE LIMITS OF CRIMINAL LAW |
56 U.C. Davis Law Review 195 (November, 2022) |
Domestic violence does not always include physical violence. While abusive relationships may be punctuated with physical violence, it is the dynamic of control that constitutes the crux of the abuse. This dynamic is characterized by behaviors designed to dominate, degrade, and discipline, including emotional and financial abuse, isolation,... |

Much of the recent conversation regarding law and police accountability has focused on eliminating or limiting qualified immunity as a defense for officers facing § 1983 lawsuits for using excessive force. Developed during Reconstruction as a way to protect formerly enslaved persons from new forms of racial terror, 42 U.S.C. § 1983 allows private... |

There is a real world with real structure.

CONSTITUTIONAL GUN LITIGATION BEYOND THE SECOND AMENDMENT |

Litigation, scholarship, and commentary about gun rights and regulation tend to focus nearly exclusively on the Second Amendment's right to keep and bear arms--a constitutional guarantee that was for all intents and purposes legally inert until the Supreme Court's decision in District of Columbia v. Heller. In the twelve years since Heller, the... |

Oliver Rollins' Conviction offers a careful analysis of the neuroscience of violence, or what he calls the violent brain model. The book's argument is twofold. On the one hand, much of neuroscience's engagement with abnormal brain function is fundamentally motivated by a desire to identify criminal propensity and the future risk for violent... |

CURING CORRECTIVE RAPE: SOCIO-LEGAL PERSPECTIVES ON SEXUAL VIOLENCE AGAINST BLACK LESBIANS IN SOUTH AFRICA |

Corrective rape can be defined as a hate crime that entails the rape of any member of a group that does not conform to gender or sexual orientation norms, where the motive of the perpetrator is to correct the individual, fundamentally combining gender-based violence and homophobic violence.

DECITIZENIZING ASIAN PACIFIC AMERICAN WOMEN |
