In Toward a Perpetual Practice of Affirmative Action, Prof. @SheldonLyke (@LoyolaLaw) argues that affirmative action isn’t dead after SFFA. He calls for a reframing of affirmative action around the correction of racial bias in admissions, rather than pursuing diversity. (1/2)

In honor of Pedro, Zamora’s birthday, which is February 29th! The leap day! Please seize upon this opportunity to watch this incredible documentary. Right here! For free! Today! You can learn about his life, the people who loved him, and all that he did for us.
My latest article in the @WLU_LawReview argues that the fight for diversity is (and always has been) wiggety whack. And that the SFFA decision didn't kill race-based affirmative action. It can live, if we learn a lesson and choose to fight for equality. scholarlycommons.law.wlu.edu…
While the @USSupremeCourt3 might not have a witness box, it can hold a trial. In US. v. Shipp (1906), the Court held a criminal trial for Sheriff Joseph Shipp who allowed a racist mob to lynch Ed Johnson. @eliehonig @cnnthismorning @AudieCornish @Phil_Mattingly

Good morning from @ChicagoKentLaw and our annual Conference for Teachers in Law and Government with @CDP_Chicago -- starting our day off by digging into the current SCOTUS term with @sschwinn @cshaplaw and @SheldonLyke
Can someone be charged with theft of lost or mislaid property if they believed the property was abandoned?
A man who hunted down his stolen backpack by tracking an iPhone inside found the bag and the phone in an unexpected place: sitting on a stack of migrant property in the 12th District police station lobby.
Charges filed.

Watching @TheBeatWithAri with @AriMelber and wondering, is it possible that Justice Roberts is right (in a way)--that treating race as a commodity--a valuable thing--that provides diversity as something that is "good for business" goes against how we should be treating race. 1/n
The Court did not say that race cannot be considered to achieve equality and offset the racial bias already present in admissions.
The Court did not say that race cannot be used to address a school's history of past discrimination. 5/n
Let's stop being mad that the diversity rationale was struck down. It finally gives progressives a chance to focus on equality and file lawsuits that highlight university admissions that favor White applicants
