Sat, August 16, 4:30 to 6:10pm, TBASession Submission Type: Paper Session
Abstract
The 50th anniversary of the US Civil Rights Act of 1964 provides an opportunity to reflect on the state of US racial inequality and the role of law in racial inequality. What has been gained, lost, or compromised through the legal interventions of the past 50 years? How can law foster racial justice? How can law thwart it? How should sociologists study legal intervention into problems of racial inequality? This session will showcase research on these and other questions about race and law.
