Race And Wealth Disparity: The Role Of Law And The Legal System, Beverly Moran, Stephanie M. Wildman
Fordham Urban Law Journal

Furthermore, this Article demonstrates that race has always affected U.S. law and the legal system. Finally, prominent examples of race-and-class-neutral law are not neutral at all, but include some inherent biases.
