Introduction, Stephen C. Ferruolo
San Diego Law Review
When Lynne Lasry, President of the Law Alumni Board, suggested we celebrate the 60th anniversary of the University of San Diego School of Law with a public program on Brown v. Board of Education, which was decided on May 17, 1954, just a month after the law school welcomed its first class in April 1954, I enthusiastically endorsed the idea. However, I have to admit that I did not foresee just how fitting commemorating these two milestones would become and what a significant opportunity it would be to both celebrate what our law school has achieved in its relatively short …

Juridical Subordination, Roy L. Brooks, Kelly C. Smith
San Diego Law Review
The purpose of this Article is to play out the various conceptualizations of the black equality interest in post-civil rights America. How is the claim of juridical subordination manifested in current Supreme Court cases, and what might civil rights law look like if the Court were to avoid juridical subordination? Our ambition is not to analyze every landmark Supreme Court civil rights case—page limitations prevent us from doing that—but to provide a framework for analysis, setting the table for the juridical subordination inquiry. Furthermore, we do not here attempt to reconcile the disparate ways in which the black equality norm …

Race And Crime Sixty Years After Brown V. Board Of Education, Donald A. Dripps
San Diego Law Review
Whether the Court, let alone the electorate, has the political will to start down this path is another question. But I remind myself that Dr. King did not despair in his Birmingham jail cell, that Ruth Bader Ginsburg did not despair when asked by the Dean of the Harvard Law School why she was taking a place from a man, and that Evan Wolfson did not despair when the high Court declared that any claim of a constitutional right to private sex between consenting adults was “at best, facetious.”
Ever since abolitionism, the heroes of every American civil rights movement …

Brown, Fisher, And The Necessity Of Context To Achieve Racial Equity In Public Institutions, Kiyana Davis Kiel
San Diego Law Review
The United States Constitution is a social, as well as legal, document and should be interpreted and applied as such. Context is crucial in constitutional interpretations. The law cannot and should not exist in a vacuum. When interpreting the Constitution, the lasting and pervasive impact of structural and institutional racism and the undercurrents of white privilege should not be ignored. In other words, when interpreting the Constitution, the civil rights of non-white society members must be acknowledged and addressed. Purely literal interpretations of law must give way to both legal—precedential—and societal contexts and, in particular, racial equity in the context …

The Battle Of The Branches: The Impact Of The Judiciary And Title Vi On Desegregation In The American Public School System, Kelsey D. Mccarthy
San Diego Law Review
This Comment analyzes the debate regarding the catalyst for desegregation in the American public school system: judicial intervention or Congress’s legislative action, specifically through implementation of Title VI, which authorized revocation of funds to school districts that did not comply with the desegregation mandate. Part I will summarize the historical events and developments that paved the way to the Supreme Court’s decision in Brown. Part II looks at how the Brown decision alone was not enough to effectuate immediate change in southern schools, despite the court’s order in the second Brown decision, Brown v. Board of Education (Brown II) that …

Teaching "Ferguson", Chad Flanders
All Faculty Scholarship
What we now refer to simply as "Ferguson" erupted in August of 20T4 and immediately raised a cluster o f legal issues. What crime had Michael Brown allegedly committed? Did Officer Darren Wilson commit a crime when he shot at Brown? Protests ensued, and they in turn inspired a police response, a response that seemed to many more violent than the protests themselves. What of the First Amendment rights o f the protesters and o f the journalists covering them? What laws were they-protestors and some journalists-supposedly breaking?1
As the days and weeks passed, the legal issues multiplied, and …

Incorporation, Total Incorporation, And Nothing But Incorporation?, Christopher R. Green
William & Mary Bill of Rights Journal
Kurt T. Lash’s The Fourteenth Amendment and the Privileges and Immunities of American Citizenship (2014) defends the view that the Fourteenth Amendment’s “privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States” cover only rights enumerated elsewhere in the Constitution. My own book, however, Equal Citizenship, Civil Rights, and the Constitution: The Original Sense of the Privileges or Immunities Clause (2015), reads the Clause to guarantee equality broadly among similarly situated citizens of the United States. Incorporation of an enumerated right into the Fourteenth Amendment requires, I say, national consensus such that an outlier state’s invasion of the right would produce …
