Blacks, Due Process And Efficiency In The Clash Of Values As The Supreme Court Moves To The Right, Henry Mcgee

Faculty Articles

Professor McGee examines the move by the Supreme Court to limit rights for minority defendants.

Professor McGee addresses the implications of these decisions, and how they have affected due process for Black defendants.
