  • Stepping up to the Challenge of Leadership on Race
    STEPPING UP TO THE CHALLENGE OF LEADERSHIP ON RACE Anthony C. Thompson* I. INTRODUCTION First and foremost, I want to thank you for inviting me to deliver this keynote address. I applaud your choice to participate in a conference on difference and leadership because these are critical issues that deserve our best thinking and our collective attention. I have watched with great interest as organizations from global businesses, to law schools, to court systems have begun embracing the concept of diversity and inclusion. Setting diversity and inclusion as operating goals in our institutions is long overdue and an important step toward addressing chronic equity issues in our society. But as I celebrate the attention and intention around such efforts, I also have a worry. I am concerned that, as we work toward the inclusion part of the effort, we are rushing a little too fast past the diversity component. As a country, we have been quite anxious to define diversity as “diversity of thought,” “diversity of experience,” and, yes, even “gender diversity” as a way of avoiding the difficulty and discomfort of examining racial diversity. But we, as lawyers and leaders, need to learn to get comfortable in that discomfort. Because as much as we might * Professor of Clinical Law, Faculty Director, Center on Race, Inequality, and the Law at New York University School of Law.

The following days, the first lockdown were issued which closed all non- essential businesses and most people were advised to stay at home. As the months continued, lockdowns were gradually lifted and some non-essential businesses slowly started to open, but more recently states have been issuing in-state lockdowns and some people fear another lockdown could happen in the winter. During these lockdowns, one of the only means to connect with the outside world was through social media. Suddenly finding themselves with extra time, millions of Americans downloaded the top three apps of the time, TikTok, Zoom, and WhatsApp, to keep busy, stay employed, and order necessities to stay alive.1 All of these apps, among others, are a means to connect and interact with people. By watching videos, making Zoom calls, or texting their friends, people were finding ways to stay connected and have some type of social interaction. When Alexis de Tocqueville came to American in the 1830s, he observed “individualism” and concluded that it was needed for a modern democracies.

A LETTER FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR: In this line of work, it can be tempting to be discouraged by hate. At Americans United, we hear over and over that women and LGBT people and religious minorities don’t deserve civil rights—all because the Bible says so. As a minister, it’s especially hard for me to hear faith abused in this manner. But there are moments that put everything right. June 26 was one such moment: On that day, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that bans on the marriages of same-sex couples violated the U.S. Constitution. It was a profoundly important day not just for the LGBT community, but for religious freedom advocates who understand that these bans were motivated by religion and thus violated the First Amendment.

Chair: Dr. Robert C. Rowland Dr. Beth Innocenti Dr. Brett Bricker Dr. Scott Harris Dr. Wayne Sailor Date Defended: 5 September 2019 ii The dissertation committee for John Leyland Price certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: The Tea Party Movement and Entelechy: an Inductive Study of Tea Party Rhetoric Chair: Dr. Robert C. Rowland Date Approved: 5 September 7 2019 iii Abstract On February 19, 2009, CNBC journalist Rick Santelli’s fiery outburst against the Obama Administration on national television gave the Tea Party Movement (TPM) its namesake. Soon after rallies were organized across the U.S. under the Tea Party banner. From its inception in 2009, the TPM became an essential player in U.S. politics and pivotal in flipping control of the Senate and House to the Republican Party during the 2010 midterm elections. The movement faced controversy on both sides of the political spectrum for its beliefs and fervent stance against compromising with political adversaries. Researchers argued that the TPM was an example of Richard Hofstadter’s Paranoid Style. Others claimed that the movement’s rhetoric, member demographics, and political success demonstrated it was outside the boundaries of the Paranoid Style.

  • A Glass Half Full Look at the Changes in the American Legal Market
    A Glass Half Full Look at the Changes in the American Legal Market Benjamin H. Barton1 The American legal profession finds itself in the midst of dizzying changes. What was once viewed as a brief downturn now looks like a much more substantial restructuring and downsizing. The main commentators on these trends have been those most likely to be affected: law professors and corporate lawyers, and they have largely presented these trends as disastrous. This Essay argues that while these changes will be painful in the near term, they will prove beneficial overall. The obvious reason for optimism is that America will be significantly better off if we spend less on legal services. Whatever else the future holds it seems likely that legal services will be more widely available to more people at lower prices. This trend starts at the top with corporate law firms and bubbles up from the bottom with LegalZoom and other online forms providers and will eventually reach the entire market. Expenditures on law are typically just transaction costs and everyone is better off when transaction costs shrink. If you have enjoyed the digital revolution in music or photography, you will likewise enjoy the legal market of the future. Legal services will be cheaper, more accessible AND better. These changes are bad for lawyers in the same way digital photography was bad for Kodak. Nevertheless, it is outstanding news for the country as a whole. Less obviously, the trends identified in Larry Ribstein’s “Death of Big Law” and the ripple effect through law schools will, ironically, lead us to a leaner, happier profession.

The Future of the Press in a Time of Managed News Michael J. Gerhardt1 INTRODUCTION The press, whose freedom the First Amendment expressly guarantees, is not what it used to be. The increasing phenomenon of managed news— news reporting that is controlled by major corporations and programmed to enhance the profits of the corporate owners—may require more, not less, regulation of the institutionalized press. By almost all accounts, the press— or at least the institutionalized press—is not as independent from govern- mental control or profit motives as it once might have been. Moreover, it has become so dependent on and intertwined with commercial interests that it has begun to impede rather than fulfill the values that the First Amend- ment’s guarantee of the freedom of the press was designed to achieve. We live in an era in which managed news may actually undermine the inde- pendence of the press, and may rob it of the incentives which it needs to have in order to merit special constitutional protection.

These are critical times for Texas and for the nation. Now more than ever, the public relies on all branches of government to work together. That work begins here in the Capitol, in this chamber and in the Senate, where the Legislature crafts laws to promote the general welfare. Without the executive branch to enforce them, the laws may as well be written on sand. And unless the judiciary interprets the laws faithfully, the underpinning of our democracy – the rule of law – will falter. We each have an obligation to concentrate our energies on the first goal the United States Constitution articulates, and that is “to establish Justice.” Working together, we have made good progress toward that ideal.

  • Special Court of Review Vacates Public Warning, Charges Against Keller
    Case Closed: Special Court of Review Vacates Public Warning, Charges Against Keller By Mary Alice Robbins Texas Lawyer October 18, 2010 Breaking her silence after three years, Texas Court of Criminal Appeals Presiding Judge Sharon Keller says she feels "vindicated" by a special court of review's decision to vacate the State Commission on Judicial Conduct's public warning and charges against her. Although some reporters have written that the three-justice court of review's Oct. 11 decision in In Re: Honorable Sharon Keller was only a technical victory for Keller, she doesn't see it that way. "I won," Keller says. "People can call it what they want." Keller, a member of the CCA since 1995 and its presiding judge since 2000, also says she will seek re - election in 2012. "I have always planned on doing that," she says. Her judicial conduct case played out against the backdrop of debate over the death penalty. Dubbed "Sharon Killer" by some anti-death penalty activists, Keller has experienced not only the commission's investigation and prosecution of its charges against her but also critical media coverage and protests at her home. "It's been a three-year-long ordeal," Keller says. Austin solo Lillian Hardwick, co-author of the "Texas Handbook on Lawyer and Judicial Ethics," says what many people have focused on in Keller's case is the death penalty. "Make no mistake, the death penalty is a serious issue, but that's not what this is about," Hardwick says. Hardwick says, "It's whether what Judge Keller said and did on that day [Sept.
