Forward To The First Volume Of The Journal, David I. C. Thomson

Sturm College of Law: Faculty Scholarship

The idea for this journal originally came from Tracy McGaugh of Touro Law Center, and then was hatched over steaming plates of egg foo yung at Ming’s Dynasty Chinese Restaurant in Denver, Colorado on October 4, 2013. The dinner took place that night because it was the “on your own” night of the second annual three-day Educating Tomorrow’s Lawyers (ETL) Conference, hosted by the Institute for the Advancement of the American Legal System (IAALS) at the Uni- versity of Denver. I had been associated with ETL and IAALS for several years prior, and I served on the conference committee. I …

Teaching For Change: How The Legal Academy Can Prepare The Next Generation Of Social Justice Movement Lawyers, Alexi Freeman

Sturm College of Law: Faculty Scholarship

The call for “practice ready” lawyers has been heard loud and clear across the country. Legal education has overwhelmingly responded to that call, finding ways to help students gain more practical experience and better understand what it actually looks like to be a lawyer. Students intending to practice “social justice movement lawyering,” however, have been largely ignored, albeit with some notable exceptions. But, working in partnership to build the power of low-income communities of color and effect long-term social change requires distinct training and distinct framing.

This article proposes ways in which the legal academy can better prepare the next …

Crisis And Trigger Warnings: Reflections On Legal Education And The Social Value Of The Law, Kim D. Chanbonpin

Chicago-Kent Law Review

In the same moment that law schools are embracing neoliberal strategies in response to the economic crisis caused by declining admissions, students in the classroom have begun to agitate for advance content notices (or “trigger warnings”) to alert them to any potentially trauma-inducing course materials. For faculty who have already adopted a defensive posture in response to threats to eliminate tenure, this demand feels like an additional assault on academic freedom; one that reflects a distressing student-as-consumer mentality. From this vantage point, students are too easily cast as another group of adversaries when, in actuality, students are straw targets who …

Habeas Data: Comparative Constitutional Interventions From Latin America Against Neoliberal States Of Insecurity And Surveillance, Marc Tizoc Gonzalez

Chicago-Kent Law Review

To cultivate the next twenty years of LatCrit theory, praxis, and community, the afterword looks back to LatCrit’s Critical Global Classroom (2003–04) (CGC), an ABA-accredited summer study-abroad program. The CGC invited U.S. law students to study comparative constitutionalism, law and society, and truth and reconciliation movements while sojourning Chile, Argentina, and South Africa under the question: “Shall the recent history of the Global South become the imminent fate of the Global North?” While enrolled in the 2004 CGC, the author learned about the extraordinary constitutional writ of habeas data, which various Latin American countries adopted as they reconstituted their …

Wanting To Do More But Bound To Do Less: A Law Librarian's Dilemma, Paul Jerome Mclaughlin Jr.

Library Faculty Publications

The role of the law librarian has changed from managing the contents of a library’s collection of books to knowing how to find information sources located around the world contained in a variety of formats, taking part in instruction, and participating in networking activities. Law librarians are constrained by legal and professional codes. If they are cautious, law librarians can assist, instruct, and reach out to public patrons and students while operating within the professional guidelines that govern them.
