Listen, Matthew L.M. Fletcher

Michigan Journal of Race and Law

In a traditional law school setting, experiences of students of color, especially Native Americans, are often buried by the discourse of the dominant culture. This piece, a non-traditional work using elements of prose, lyric, monologue, and poetry, weaves strands of legal discourse, commentary, and autobiography into a critical narrative of the experience of legal education from an outsider law student's perspective. The author, a member of the Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians, recounts these vignettes in a voice infused with the history and traditions of Native American oral storytelling.

Breaking Into The Academy: The 1998-2000 Michigan Journal Of Race & Law Guide For Aspiring Law Professors, Gabriel J. Chin, Denise C. Morgan

Michigan Journal of Race and Law

I was not very far into my law school experience when I realized that my professors had the best job in town-it took me quite a bit longer to discover that I, too, could get in on the deal. Do not misunderstand me-being a law professor is not easy. In fact, when done correctly, the job requires a tremendous amount of intellectual energy, emotional commitment, long hours, and hard work. However, if you enjoy writing, research, public speaking, and developing mentoring relationships, being a law professor could be the career for you. This Article, and the listings of helpful organizations …

Prosecution And Race: The Power And Privilege Of Discretion, Angela J. Davis

Scholarly Articles in Law Reviews & Journals

This article examines prosecutorial discretion and argues it is a major cause of racial inequality in the criminal justice system. It asserts that prosecutorial discretion may instead be used to construct effective solutions to racial injustice. The article maintains that since prosecutors have more power than any other criminal justice officials, with practically no corresponding accountability to the public they serve, they have the responsibility to use their discretion to help eradicate the discriminatory treatment of African Americans in the criminal justice system.

Part I of the Article explains the importance and impact of the prosecution function. Part II discusses …

Allocating Resources Among Prisons And Social Programs In The Battle Against Crime, Peter Siegelman, John J. Donohue Iii

Faculty Articles and Papers

This article evaluates the cost and crime-reducing potential of prisons and social spending, setting forth the conditions under which a shift in resources from an expanding prison population into social spending would lead to a reduction in total crime. Preschool enrichment programs coupled with family intervention have generated impressive results in reducing crime in a number of different studies. Targeting of resources toward those children most at risk of criminal behavior is necessary to generate cost-effective crime reduction, but this may be difficult to achieve because of political or constitutional constraints. Given precise targeting, and if a broadly implemented preschool …

Specifically, the argument that contemporary First Amendment protections make tenure superfluous is examined. Part I describes the history of tenure. The purpose of tenure is examined in part II. Part III examines the law of tenure. Part IV identifies the First Amendment argument in opposition to tenure. In part V the reasons the First Amendment does not obviate the need …

Juvenile Justice Under Attack: An Analysis Of The Causes And Impact Of Recent Reforms, Donna M. Bishop, Lonn Lanza-Kaduce, Charles E. Frazier

University of Florida Journal of Law & Public Policy

The juvenile justice system is currently under attack on two broad fronts. First, legal experts and commentators are providing stinging critiques of the system’s failure to protect the liberty and due process interests of juveniles. Second, legislators throughout the country are supporting more and more legislation designed to “get tough” on juvenile crime. In combination, these criticisms and reforms advance the “recriminalization” of juvenile offenders. Juvenile offenders are increasingly subject to adult standards of culpability and punishment. Most of this change in the way we think about and officially respond to juvenile crime has proceeded without a discussion of the …
