Judicial Intervention As Judicial Restraint, Guy-Uriel Charles, Luis E. Fuentes-Rohwer
Faculty Scholarship
This paper examines the Court's decision in Gil v. Whitford. It advances two claims.

The Next Swing Region: Reapportionment And Redistricting In The Intermountain West, David F. Damore
Brookings Scholar Lecture Series

Race, Redistricting, And Representation, Guy-Uriel Charles
Faculty Scholarship
This Essay, which was written for the Ohio State Law Journal's symposium on Election Law and the Roberts Court, examines the Court's decision in League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) v.

The essay argues that politics not race is the majority's worry in LULAC and that the case is the first application of Justice Kennedy's representation rights concept first introduced in Vieth.
