African-Americans, Latinos, And The Construction Of Race: Toward An Epistemic Coalition, George A. Martinez

Latinos will soon become the largest minority group in the United States. African-Americans may therefore be about to give up political clout to Latinos. This prospect has generated tension between African-Americans and Latinos. Given this background, it is important for Critical Race Theory and Latino Critical Theory to consider the matter of the African-American/Latino relationship. With this in mind, the author discusses two important questions posed by the organizers of this panel: (1) How is the relationship between African-Americans and Latinos affected by the construction of race? and (2) Can Critical Race Theory benefit by a consideration of the race …

Texas sent shock waves through the academic community with its holding that the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment prohibited the University of Texas Law School from taking account of race as a factor in its admissions process.

Bakke, which recognized the pursuit of diversity in higher education as a compelling state interest, had never constituted …

The Power And The Process: Instructions And The Civil Jury, Elizabeth G. Thornburg
The Power And The Process: Instructions And The Civil Jury, Elizabeth G. Thornburg
Faculty Journal Articles and Book Chapters
The form of the court's charge to the jury affects power relationships among judge and jury, trial and appellate courts, and plaintiffs and defendants. It also influences the role of the jury and the content of the underlying substantive law. Under current federal law, trial judges have virtually complete discretion in making decision about jury charge format, despite the important implications of that decision. This article demonstrates, by using examples, the ways in which the form of the jury charge can make a difference. It then argues that the general charge should remain the norm. This is true first for …
