The Economic Justice Imperative For Transactional Law Clinics, Lynnise E. Pantin
The Economic Justice Imperative For Transactional Law Clinics, Lynnise E. Pantin
Faculty Scholarship
The economic, political, and social volatility of the sixties and seventies, out of which clinical legal education was born, has certain mythical qualities for most law students, and perhaps some law professors. America still bears the scars of the economic policies of those previous eras, such as redlining, blockbusting, poverty and urban decay. While the realities of the era may seem out of reach for many of our students, those arising out of that era have contributed to the wealth gap in this country, which has worsened over the last twenty years. Now more than ever, society needs social justice …
Every Dollar Counts: In Defense Of The Obama Department Of Education's "Supplement Not Supplant" Proposal, James S. Liebman, Michael Mbikiwa
Every Dollar Counts: In Defense Of The Obama Department Of Education's "Supplement Not Supplant" Proposal, James S. Liebman, Michael Mbikiwa
Faculty Scholarship
Evidence compellingly demonstrates – as Congress famously recognized in Title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA) – that children from economically disadvantaged backgrounds require more educational resources than other students. Yet, a half century later, many school districts still spend less money on high-poverty schools than on more privileged schools. In 2011, a study by the U.S. Department of Education discovered that nationwide, more than forty percent of schools eligible for Title I funding based on their high-poverty status receive less state and local funding for instructional and other personnel costs than non-Title I schools …
Race Liberalism And The Deradicalization Of Racial Reform, Kimberlé W. Crenshaw
Race Liberalism And The Deradicalization Of Racial Reform, Kimberlé W. Crenshaw
Faculty Scholarship
Recent works by neoconservatives and by Critical legal scholars have suggested that civil rights reforms have been an unsuccessful means of achieving racial equality in America. In this Article, Professor Crenshaw considers these critiques and analyzes the continuing role of racism in the subordination of Black Americans. The neoconservative emphasis on formal colorblindness, she argues, fails to recognize the indeterminacy of civil rights laws and the force of lingering racial disparities. The Critical scholars, who emphasize the legitimating role of legal ideology and legal rights rhetoric, are substantially correct, according to Professor Crenshaw, but they fail to appreciate the choices …
Overreach And Innovation In Equality Regulation, Olatunde C.A. Johnson
Overreach And Innovation In Equality Regulation, Olatunde C.A. Johnson
Faculty Scholarship
At a time of heightened concern about agency overreach, this Article highlights a less appreciated development in agency equality regulation. Moving beyond traditional bureaucratic forms of regulation, civil rights agencies in recent years have experimented with new forms of regulation to advance inclusion. This new "inclusive regulation" can be described as more open ended, less coercive, and more reliant on rewards, collaboration, flexibility, and interactive assessment than traditional modes of civil rights regulation. This Article examines the power and limits of this new inclusive regulation and suggests a framework for increasing the efficacy of these new modes of regulation.
Equality Law Pluralism, Olatunde C.A. Johnson
Equality Law Pluralism, Olatunde C.A. Johnson
Faculty Scholarship
This contribution to the Constance Baker Motley Symposium examines the future of civil rights reform at a time in which longstanding limitations of the antidiscrimination law framework, as well as newer pressures such as the rise of economic populism, are placing stress on the traditional antidiscrimination project. This Essay explores the openings that nevertheless remain in public law for confronting persistent forms of exclusion and makes the case for greater pluralism in equality law frameworks. In particular, this Essay examines innovations that widen the range of regulatory levers for promoting inclusion, such as competitive grants, tax incentives, contests for labor …
