Law School Rankings And The Impossibility Of Anti-Racism, Rory D. Bahadur
Law School Rankings And The Impossibility Of Anti-Racism, Rory D. Bahadur
St. Mary's Law Journal
This Article uses the U.S. News law school rankings to illustrate how powerful, invisible, and stubborn systemic racism is.

St. Mary's Law Journal
This Commentary examines the effect United States Supreme Court decisions on sex discrimination in the legal profession. Discrimination against women currently appears to be alive and well in the legal field. Decisions like Bradwell v. Illinois and In re Lockwood frustrated women attorneys for over a century, allowing states to determine women were unfit for occupations in areas like law. Hishon v. King & Spalding, and later, Price Waterhouse v.
