Symposium Objective and Purpose
At its inaugural symposium on Friday, March 19, at 3 p.m. (Central Time), the LSU Law Journal for Social Justice & Policy will host a panel of legal scholars from law schools across the country to discuss the fight against white supremacy in the 21st century, present their research, and submit their papers for publication in the journal’s first issue this spring. The event will be held virtually via Zoom and 1.3 CLE credit hours (Course #: 5170210319) are available for participants.
Program Overview

Topic: The Rules that Bound White Supremacy
In order to dismantle white supremacy, legal reforms should look beyond substantive laws and reform the rules under which the legal system operates. Specifically, evidence rules should be reform to account for the use of informal or functional evidence by legal actors. The presentation will explore how we should revamp our evidentiary system to correct for the discounting that people of color experience vis a vis the credibility excess white people enjoy.
Speakers' Biographies
Register here for free Haven't seen any rules against recording, so perhaps one could record and share on the interwebs so that people can see what is going on.
Oh and today LSU Law is doing a push for donations. Should taxpayers and alumni support these types of programs?

Would be better off funding a search committee for unicorns and bigfoot.

Glad to see they are no longer adhering to the white supremacy of correct grammar "vis as vis" subject-verb agreement.

I cannot wait to see how they define “white supremacy”

What's the hold up? I'm genuinely asking here, as I'm always a little amazed when someone, after nearly a year of this kind of racial pandering, suddenly acts surprised by the latest thing LSU has done and seems almost ready to act on it. Almost.

So they want a presumption in favor of blacks if it’s a credibility dispute between a white and a black witness?

Right. Because the incarceration rate has everything to do with the widely accepted common law evidence rules promoting racism. And nothing to do with the crime rate.

So black people haven't been committing all the crime?

I cannot imagine why anyone would ever give to the law school.

Keep pushing this bs and their white donors will quit giving money. Wonder how much money LSU would get from these other so called races that whites supposedly hate.

They may as well call themselves SULC South at this point

Taxes are racist too!

Topic: Fighting White Supremacy in the Courts and Legislatures
Professor Amour will discuss the forces that have created racialized mass incarceration and over-policed black communities. He argues that changing the situation requires a revolution in consciousness in matters of blame and punishment, and the rejection of the prevailing carceral conception of justice and the acceptance of a radically new one. It requires a basic overhaul in our collective moral compass, a transformational shift away from retribution, retaliation, and revenge and toward restoration, rehabilitation, and redemption. Voters in many places are electing prosecutors, lawmakers, and judges who embrace this new conception of justice and moral framework. Professor Amrour will also discuss the racial implications of competing conceptions of justice and why judges, lawmakers, and prosecutors who care about addressing systemic racism must be willing to think about crime and punishment in a fundamentally new way.
Taxes are racist too!
quote:
The recent murder of George Floyd and other unarmed black people at the hands of the police have revitalized awareness and activism on dismantling white supremacy that filters through many systems in American society. The area of tax policy is no exception. Voices that sought to highlight the racial inequities in our tax laws and policies are finally getting voice within the field.
This essay seeks to build on this momentum. It continues the clarion call of those in the world of tax to continue to research and advocate for a more racially just tax system at all levels of government. It also urges those engaged in tax policy to reach out to communities of color to better understand their lived experiences and how various forms of taxation undermine the opportunity of equity.
The essay also calls on those who are advocates for civil rights and racial justice to engage more with the tax system. The unique views of these advocates can help alert tax experts to blind spots and can help to show the diversity of harms that different communities of color can face. It also encourages many more people who want to make racial justice to develop greater facility with the complexities of taxation.

Anjali Vats is interested in issues related to race, law, communication, and popular culture, with particular focus on intellectual property. Her book, The Color of Creatorship: Intellectual Property, Race and the Making of Americans (Stanford University Press, 2020), examines the relationship between copyright, patent, and trademark law, race, and national identity formation.

My guess:
White conservative males or any “non-white” that voted for Trump.

I made up my mind to end donations to LSU last year, but I usually send my donations in March. Needless to say I'm done with LSU. There are plenty of worthy causes who will be happy to accept "white" money. frickLSU.
