"[T]he six unelected members of today's majority upend the status quo [race-conscious admissions] based on . . . their preferences for a veneer of colorblindness in a society where race has always mattered and continues to matter in fact and in law." J. Sotomayor dissenting
Honored to accept the Covid-19 Hero Award at the Keep @DC_SAFE event tonight! It’s been a privilege to work with @UDCLaw#GPC students to represent survivors virtually, & support their individual visions of safety and justice. Feeling grateful and inspired to keep at it :)
I took education law in my final semester of law school w. @ProfPhilLee.I’m pretty sure the final exam question was whether a teacher could pray with students and if this violated the establishment clause after applying the Lemon, Endorsement , Coercion, & the Neutrality test
Thank you to everyone that attended the 2022 Workshop for New Law School Teachers! We hope you enjoyed the sessions and connecting with colleagues. Best of luck in your new careers! #AALSNLT

Today, the #UDCLaw Class of 2022 is one step closer to practicing law, promoting justice and changing lives. Oh, who are we kidding? They've been promoting justice and changing lives all along. Now they'll get to do it with #JD in hand! #attorneys#HBCU#HBCUlawschool
It's day 1 of #AAPIHeritageMonth.
Ten months ago @TED_ED released this short animated video about how the plenary power doctrine, a distortion in US constitutional jurisprudence, enabled discrimination against persons of Asian ancestry.
