March 29, 2009. Race and Discrimination Since Brown v. Board. It may just be a coincidence but all three selections I chose for this week painted a fairly bleak picture of race relations in the US, and the effect that Brown v. Board of education had (or didn't have) in addressing the issue. In "'The Whole United States is Southern! Brown v. Board. Derrick A. Bell, Jr. presents an equally discouraging view of Brown. Paul Green's article "The Paradox of the Promise Unfulfilled: Brown v. Board of Educat...

Law and Society Blog: News Coverage and Public Opinion of the "Trial of the Century"

April 19, 2009. News Coverage and Public Opinion of the "Trial of the Century". How is it that two groups of people can be hear the same facts and be exposed to the same media coverage, and construct these drastically different conclusions? I doubt either group is entirely wrong or entirely right, but how do you know what the truth is? April 25, 2009 at 5:01 PM. April 26, 2009 at 5:27 PM. April 26, 2009 at 7:48 PM.

February 8, 2009. Waiting at the Doorway. It is because of this sense of being "before the law," as Ewick and Silbey stated in their conclusion, "Legality is durable and powerful because it is experienced as objective and external, impervious to and constraining the desires of particular human beings." .

March 15, 2009. The Plea Bargain System: Sidestepping Justice. I followed up Lynch's article by reading Stephen J. Schulhofer's. Response "A Wake Up Call From the Plea Bargaining Trenches." Schulhofer. Agrees wholeheartedly with Lynch's assessment of plea bargaining as a violation of justice but, unlike Lynch, Schulholfer. In the final reading I chose for the week, "The Criminal Defense Lawyer: Zealous Advocate, Double Agent, or Beleaguered Dealer? Author Rodney J. Uphoff. In which Blumberg. Week 11: Ca...

Nej's Law and Society. Sunday, February 15, 2009. O'Barr and Conley 2/16. Lay Expectations of the Civil Justice System". Images of Law in Everyday Life". Macaulay's article is my favorite type of social observation - media related! The author's point about education is a big one for me. I completely agree that textbooks are not critical of law. He uses the example of Muzzey as a "legitimized elitist," which is certainly true. But to what extent should textbooks be critical? How long do we wait?

Law and Society 09 (Ellen): More OJ
http://ewj09.blogspot.com/2009/04/more-oj.html
Sunday, April 26, 2009. The OJ case brought to the surface the overwhelming racism that still lives in American society. Lee's article discusses the jokes and remarks toward Asian American participants in the trial. There is no doubt in my mind that White Americans are used to a large amount of privilege due to their skin color, but does that make them automatically racist? April 30, 2009 at 5:38 PM.

Sunday, April 26, 2009. Lee’s article was really interesting to read because I was unaware that these jokes and attacks on the Asian American participants in the trial took place. What I find unbelievable is the way these remarks and jokes were responded to, with people like Senator D’Amato apologizing by saying they didn’t mean to offend anyone. How is that an apology or even realistic, how could those jokes not be offensive? April 26, 2009 at 6:29 PM. April 28, 2009 at 9:34 AM. Who got ahold of them?
