Cross-Cultural Lawyering By The Book: The Latest Clinical Texts And A Sketch Of A Future Agenda, Ascanio Piomelli
Cross-Cultural Lawyering By The Book: The Latest Clinical Texts And A Sketch Of A Future Agenda, Ascanio Piomelli
UC Law Journal of Race and Economic Justice
Over the past decade, the literature on lawyering has paid increased attention to the impact of cultural differences on interactions between attorneys and clients. This essay assesses the latest generation of clinical textbooks on interviewing and counseling and how they seek to prepare student-lawyers for crosscultural work. It highlights differences in these textbooks' definitions of culture, measures of crosscultural success, descriptions of the dimensions along which cultures differ, the side(s) of the lawyer-client relationship on which they focus, and the behaviors they suggest. The essay argues these texts are at their best when they define culture both broadly and fluidly, …
The Color Of Sexual Harassment And The Public/Private Divide, Janeille Zorina Matthews
The Color Of Sexual Harassment And The Public/Private Divide, Janeille Zorina Matthews
UC Law Journal of Race and Economic Justice
This article argues that the conception of sexual harassment as simply a gendered harm is inadequate because sexual harassment is not only about gender but also about race, class, sexual orientation and other realities of existence. Sexual harassment is about power and about keeping particular women out of particular economic spheres. Using the Commonwealth Caribbean as an example, this article concludes that an intersectional understanding of sexual harassment, and a more nuanced understanding of the public/private divide, will lead to better workplace harassment legislation. While much of the focus is on the Commonwealth Caribbean, a North American example suggests that …

Race And The Jury: Racial Influences On Jury Decision-Making In Death Penalty Cases, Mustafa El-Farra
UC Law Journal of Race and Economic Justice

The author focuses on the legislative and judicial shortcomings that have lead to a failure in proscribing and combating the issue of purposeful discrimination against minority defendants. The author proffers different remedies to address this problem, citing ideas mentioned in several state court cases as well as various federal legislative attempts to protect against racial discrimination in the application of capital punishment.

Medical Civil Rights: The Exclusion Of Physicians Of Color From Managed Care: Business Or Bias, Rene Bowser
Medical Civil Rights: The Exclusion Of Physicians Of Color From Managed Care: Business Or Bias, Rene Bowser
UC Law Journal of Race and Economic Justice
Historically, physicians of color experienced significant barriers in their continued assimilation into the health care profession. Although managed care organizations do not appear to purposefully discriminate against physicians of color, the selection criteria utilized by these networks coupled with underlying biases have resulted in a disproportionate exclusion of minority physicians. By analyzing the norms and practices of managed care organizations, the author highlights possible causes of this disparity. Additionally, after addressing the inadequacy of using current civil rights laws to redress discrimination in the medical market, the author offers several innovative local, state, and federal remedies as potential alternative avenues …

Civil Claims For Uncivilized Acts: Filing Suit Against The Government For American Indian Boarding School Abuses, Andrea A. Curcio
UC Law Journal of Race and Economic Justice
This country's history is replete with evidence that the United States government deliberately caused the deaths of millions of American Indians. What is less well-known is the government's attempt to destroy the American Indian peoples by forcing generations of American Indian children to attend off-reservation boarding schools. In this article, Professor Curcio describes the use of government-run boarding schools as a way to destroy American Indian childrens' connections to their peoples, and ultimately, as a way to destroy the American Indian peoples. She discusses the schools' harsh and deadly living conditions and the schools' destructive impact upon generations of American …
