"CLOSE THE SORES OF WAR": WHY GEORGIA NEEDS NEW LEGISLATION TO ADDRESS ITS CONFEDERATE MONUMENTS |
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 1065 (June, 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. This Note seeks to understand the intersection between criminalization, gender identity,... |

"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.

"THE SPECIAL FAVORITE OF THE LAWS"? BLACK LIVES MATTER MOMENTS IN AMERICAN CONSTITUTIONAL AND LEGAL HISTORY |
18 University of Saint Thomas Law Journal 171 (Spring, 2022) |
The law no longer knows white nor black, but simply men, and consequently, we are entitled to ride in public conveyances, hold office, sit on juries, and do everything else which we have in the past been prevented from doing solely on the ground of color. (Delegate to a convention of Alabama freedmen, 1867) On May 25, 2020, Minneapolis Police... |

"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.

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. FISA requires the government to give official notice to people it spied on before it uses surveillance... |

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... |

History, as nearly no one seems to know, is not merely something to be read. And it does not refer merely, or even principally, to the past. On the contrary, the great force of history comes from the fact that we carry it within us .. This article is rooted in the belief that the articulation of shared narrative histories advances the pursuit of... |

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... |

ABORTION, STERILIZATION, AND THE UNIVERSE OF REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS |

In recent years, a new narrative associating reproductive rights with the eugenics movement of the 1920s has taken root. As this narrative maintains, in the 1920s, Margaret Sanger, a pioneer of the modern birth control movement, joined forces with the eugenics movement to market family planning measures to marginalized minority communities.... |

ADJUDICATING IDENTITY |
9 Texas A&M Law Review 267 (Winter, 2022) |
Legal actors examine identity claims with varying degrees of intensity. For instance, to be considered female for the U.S. Census, self-identification alone is sufficient, and no additional evidence is necessary. To change a sex marker on a birth certificate to female, however, self-identification is not enough; some states require people to... |
