Illuminating Black Data Policing, Andrew Ferguson
Illuminating Black Data Policing, Andrew Ferguson
Scholarly Articles in Law Reviews & Journals
The future of policing will be driven by data. Crime, criminals, and patterns of criminal activity will be reduced to data to be studied, crunched, and predicted. The benefits of big data policing involve smarter policing, faster investigation, predictive deterrence, and the ability to visualize crime problems in new ways. Not surprisingly then, police administrators have been seeking out new partnerships with sophisticated private data companies and experimenting with new surveillance technologies. This potential future, however, has a very present limitation. It is a limitation largely ignored by adopting jurisdictions and could, if left unaddressed, delegitimize the adoption and use …
The Economic Justice Imperative For Lawyers In Trump Country, Priya Baskaran
The Economic Justice Imperative For Lawyers In Trump Country, Priya Baskaran
Scholarly Articles in Law Reviews & Journals
This article serves as a call to action for rural law schools to meaningfully incorporate economic justice into transactional legal education, and in doing so, train much needed rural advocates, legal experts, and local leaders. Rural areas are continuously portrayed as “Trump Country” in today’s mainstream media coverage, which largely focuses on socio-cultural differences between urban and rural areas. Many rural scholars and activists are troubled by the “Trump Country” label as it masks the structural poverty issues that lead to housing insecurity, water insecurity, poor public health indicators, unemployment, underemployment, troubled public education systems, and environmental degradation impacting both …

Obama's Conversion On Same-Sex Marriage, Robert Tsai
Scholarly Articles in Law Reviews & Journals
This essay explores how presidents who wish to seize a leadership role over the development of rights must tend to the social foundations of those rights. Broad cultural changes alone do not guarantee success, nor do they dictate the substance of constitutional ideas. Rather, presidential aides must actively re-characterize the social conditions in which rights are made, disseminated, and enforced. An administration must articulate a strategically plausible theory of a particular right, ensure there is cultural and institutional support for that right, and work to minimize blowback. Executive branch officials must seek to transform and popularize legal concepts while working …

Analyzing Social Impairments Under Title I Of The Americans With Disabilities Act, Susan Carle
Analyzing Social Impairments Under Title I Of The Americans With Disabilities Act, Susan Carle
Scholarly Articles in Law Reviews & Journals
This Article starts from the important contributions of the neurodiversity movement, which emphasizes the benefits of an expanded view of protecting human difference. These differences include variations in brain structure, behavior, and social functioning. Social impairments are a potential feature of many disabilities covered under the employment antidiscrimination provisions of Title I of the Americans with Disabilities Act ("ADA"), but the legal literature has not yet focused on the analytic issues social impairments present. This Article analyzes how the ADA's employment protections should apply in the social impairments context. Congress's enactment of the Americans with Disabilities Act Amendments ("ADAAA") in …

Can The Government Deport Immigrants Using Information It Encouraged Them To Provide?, Amanda Frost
Can The Government Deport Immigrants Using Information It Encouraged Them To Provide?, Amanda Frost
Scholarly Articles in Law Reviews & Journals
This Essay describes the legal and policy issues raised by any systematic effort to deport unauthorized immigrants based on information the government invited them to provide. Part I briefly surveys some of the major laws, regulations, and programs that encourage unauthorized immigrants to identify themselves. Part II analyzes the strengths and weaknesses of the statutory and constitutional arguments that immigrants could raise as a defense against deportations based on self-reported data. Part III explains that even if the government’s systematic use of such data to deport unauthorized immigrants is legal, doing so would be a poor policy choice for any …

"Lifting As We Climb": The American Council On Human Rights And The Quest For Civil Rights, Gregory S. Parks
"Lifting As We Climb": The American Council On Human Rights And The Quest For Civil Rights, Gregory S. Parks
American University Journal of Gender, Social Policy & the Law
The narrative of African Americans’ quest for racial equality and social justice in the Twentieth Century is typically construed in the context of main-line civil rights organizations—e.g., NAACP, SCLC, SNCC, and the like. However, for decades, black fraternal networks had been helping to lay the groundwork for the major civil rights campaigns that culminated in the Civil Rights Act of 1964. In 1938 Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated created the National Non-Partisan Lobby on Civil and Democratic Rights (“NPC”), later renamed the National Non-Partisan Council on Public Affairs. It was the first full-time congressional lobby for minority group civil rights. …
