Through the Gale Ep1: Civil Rights Lawyering in the Age of Abolition
Get PDFTraditionally, civil rights lawyers have focused on establishing anti-discrimination rights in courts. But today, the Movement for Black Lives, abolitionist, and other social movements de-center courts and instead emphasize the need to to build power to advance transformative social change. Can these approaches to social change be reconciled?
Through conversation with Ashok Chandran \u2715 (NAACP LDF), Theodore Shaw \u2779 (UNC Center for Civil Rights), and Alexis J. Hoag-Fordjour (Brooklyn Law School), co-hosts Olatunde Johnson and Andres Estevez \u2723 delve into the history of civil rights lawyering, and examine how it is responding to current social movements.https://scholarship.law.columbia.edu/through_the_gale/1002/thumbnail.jp

Wesley Hohfeld a Century Later: Edited Work, Select Personal Papers, and Original Commentaries
No full textWesley Hohfeld is known the world over as the legal theorist who famously developed a taxonomy of legal concepts. His contributions to legal thinking have stood the test of time, remaining relevant nearly a century after they were first published. Yet, little systematic attention has been devoted to exploring the full significance of his work. Beginning with a lucid, annotated version of Hohfeld\u27s most important article, this volume is the first to offer a comprehensive look at the scope, significance, reach, intricacies, and shortcomings of Hohfeld\u27s work. Featuring insights from leading legal thinkers, the book also contains many of Hohfeld\u27s previously unseen personal papers, shedding new light on the complex motivations behind Hohfeld\u27s projects. Together, these selected papers and original essays reveal a portrait of a multifaceted and ambitious intellectual who did not live long enough to see the impact of his ideas on the study of law.https://scholarship.law.columbia.edu/books/1343/thumbnail.jp
Practicing with Conviction: Race, Reentry, and the Legal Profession
No full textWithin recent years, different areas of the legal community have publicly addressed the need for racial justice. The killing of George Floyd and the reckoning with race that followed prompted law schools, bar associations, and court systems, as well as government, private, and non-profit legal organizations, to publicly acknowledge that racial disparities continue to persist in our society. While most of these legal institutions have made some recognition of the fact that the legal system has played a role in perpetuating systemic racism, they have essentially failed to address how discrimination against system-impacted individuals continues to deepen racial and socioeconomic inequities within the legal profession itself.
This Essay, which grows from ongoing research highlighted in my symposium remarks, argues that the legal profession, with its history of racial exclusion and active participation in furthering mass incarceration, has both an obligation and an opportunity to adopt a proactive racial equity reentry agenda. Such an agenda would redistribute economic and social resources by creating intentional professional pathways for people with the lived experience of criminalization. An equity-oriented reentry agenda would not only help system-impacted people in rebuilding their lives, but it would also help to reshape a legal profession that has historically reinforced social and racial marginalization
Epilogue: The Elephant in the Room
Get PDFThis chapter explores the contrasting role of proportionality discourse in the USA and in Latin America. Although the USA provided an important constitutional model for Latin American countries, the latter does not share the former’s disinterest in the proportionality framework, which is considered foreign to the legal tradition of the country despite the fact it is arguably harmonic with the approach to law creation in the common law tradition. The chapter seeks possible explanations for the contrast in four elements: the importance in Latin America of centralized, specialized constitutional jurisdiction; the tradition of borrowing constitutional jurisprudence from abroad; the openness to constitutional change and innovation; and sensitivity to the egalitarian potential of rights review, even if that potential remains largely unrealized, which favors experimentation around proportionality. The USA sits at the opposite end of the spectrum along each of the dimensions that support proportionality analysis

Ending CPS Home Searches\u27 Evasion of the Fourth Amendment
Get PDFEvery year, Child Protective Service (CPS) agencies investigate about 3 million families around the country for alleged neglect or abuse of their children. Under agency policies, all of those millions of investigations include searches of families’ homes. CPS investigators knock on the door (usually unannounced), look in every room of the house, open kitchen cabinets, sometimes inspect children’s bodies, and generally look for any evidence of child maltreatment. Yet CPS agencies rarely seek a warrant, and typically act as if that is unnecessary. (P. 18 & n.86.
