The Law Of White Spaces: Race, Culture, And Legal Education, Peter Goodrich, Linda G. Mills

The scene, drawn from memory, is a first-year law school classroom. It is the early 1980s and the class is on civil procedure. The teacher is a white woman.

I then explore the significance of the deliberate indifference requirement in this context, concluding that the standard, for all its flaws, is distinct …
