The Smug Assumption Of Reverse Discrimination: Abigail Fisher And Fisher V. University Of Texas At Austin, R. Nicholas Rabold

Kentucky Law Journal

Many expected Fisher v. University of Texas at Austin (Fisher I), 133 S. Ct. 2411 (2013)—an appeal from the Court ofAppeals for the Fifth Circuit upholding the University of Texas at Austin's race-conscious admissions program—to sound the death knell for race-based affirmative action in higher education. Instead, in remanding the case back to -the Fifth Circuit, the Supreme Court of the United States upheld the consideration of race in college admission programs, so long as such use could satisfy strict scrutiny.

#Advocacy: Social Media Activism's Power To Transform Law, Stacey B. Steinberg

Kentucky Law Journal

Attorneys influence the actions of legislators, courts, and community leaders by working alongside social movements. Together, these advocates seek to challenge the status quo by setting precedent that will ensure equality and justice for all individuals.

Kentucky Law Journal

This is simply because different people may experience the same punishment with differing intensity.

Legal scholars have recently proposed that improvements in scientific knowledge and advancements in technologies (such as Functional magnetic resonance imaging), which allow us to measure subjective perceptions and feelings, need to be and should be incorporated in our penal systems.

Debt And Discipline: Neoliberal Political Economy And The Working Classes, Tayyab Mahmud

Kentucky Law Journal

Over the last three decades, neoliberal restructuring of the economy created a symbiosis of debt and discipline. New legal regimes and strategic use of monetary policy displaced Keynesian welfare, facilitated financialization of the economy, broke the power of organized labor, and expanded debt to sustain aggregate demand. Public laws and policies created afield of possibility within which financial markets extended their reach and brought ever-increasing sections of the working classes and the marginalized within the ambit of the credit economy. Reordered public policies and new norms of personal responsibility demarcated the horizon within which the economically vulnerable pursued strategies of …
