2025 Event Invitations

In the mid-1840s, American settlers flocked westward on the Oregon Trail, unknowingly bringing with them measles and other foreign diseases to which the Cayuse peoples along the trail had no immunity. Hundreds of Cayuse children were brought to Narcissa and Marcus Whitman at the Whitman Mission for treatment, but ultimately these children could not be saved. In 1847, members of the Cayuse Tribe, acting under Cayuse law to dispose of false doctors (medicine men, or tewat), participated in an attack on the Presbyterian Whitman Mission in Walla Walla Washington, killing the Whitmans and eleven others. After a two-year pursuit, the …

Is The Housing Access Voucher Program The Solution To New York’S Affordable Housing Crisis?, Ushna Khan

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights and Social Justice (ERSJ) Blog

New York City’s affordable housing crisis has reached an alarming state, with nearly half of renters spending more than thirty percent of their annual income on rent, and eviction filings surpassing pre-COVID pandemic levels.  The rising eviction rate continues to disproportionately impact low-income and marginalized communities.  The longstanding impact of antiquated, restrictive zoning policies, underinvestment in affordable housing, and mounting construction costs have compounded the housing crisis into a “state of emergency” in New York.

This post was originally published on the Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights and Social Justice website on February 27, 2025. The original post can be …

From High Hopes To Hesitation: What Rfk Jr.’S Senate Confirmation Hearings Say About His Current Stance On Marijuana Reform, Andrew Greenberg

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights and Social Justice (ERSJ) Blog

Recently, Robert F. Kennedy (“RFK”) Jr.’s nomination for secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (“HHS”) was confirmed by the Senate, and he will soon become the leader of America’s largest health agency.  While some of his controversial claims include his “refusal to embrace science that shows vaccines do not cause autism” and “denials of the efficacy of vaccines” in general, he has also advocated for the federal decriminalization of marijuana.  However, his more recent declarations and the government forces at play mean this decriminalization will not likely come to fruition.

The Court We Need: Why The Supreme Court Is Worth Saving—Especially From Itself With Professor Steven I. Vladeck, Stephen I. Vladeck

2025 Event Invitations

For all of the ink that has been spilled over the Supreme Court in recent years, no one has been able to bridge the growing divide between those who think we should bury the Court and those who think we should praise it. Meanwhile, public faith in the Court continues to decline. The result has been an erosion of the Court’s moral authority and an impasse about how to restore it at the exact moment when we most need it—with the other institutions of government increasingly unable or unwilling to check each other. Now, more than ever, we need a …

Let’S Save More Lives: A Call For A National Good Samaritan Law, Molly Mcguinness

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights and Social Justice (ERSJ) Blog

The United States is facing a fentanyl epidemic.  Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid that is fifty times stronger than heroin and one hundred times stronger than morphine.  While fentanyl is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for pain relief and anesthetic used in controlled medical settings, most overdoses come from illegally manufactured fentanyl.  Drug dealers lace fentanyl into fake prescription pills and other illegal drugs.  Since fentanyl is a synthetic drug, it is cheaper to produce than other opioids that are grown from plants, and it therefore is more profitable for drug cartels to sell.  A lethal amount …
