Prerequisite: RCC; This course explores the roots of structural racism, examines some of its various manifestations in the U.S. legal system, and examines proposals to eradicate it. This interdisciplinary course includes lectures from and discussions with over 20 faculty from the College of Law and CSU faculty from Black Studies, Criminology, History, Communications, Health Sciences, Nursing, and Urban Studies. We will examine the historical and contemporary treatment of race in American law and society. Through interdisciplinary study and guest lecturers, the class will explore a variety of topics through a racial and equal justice lens: systemic racism and classism, segregation, implicit bias, diversity, equity, and inclusion, the history of slavery, police reform, search and seizure, voting rights, hate crimes, employment discrimination, workplace diversity, health equity and disparities, housing, protests, human rights, gender inequity, and LGBT rights. Each of these topics underscores the relationship between race, politics, public policy, and the law and how this relationship can either perpetuate racism or fight racism in America and impact daily life. We will explore access to justice, structural obstacles, and unique challenges that underrepresented groups face and the developments and innovative approaches legal professionals, lawyers, and litigants have taken to pursue equal justice.
