Robinson* and Lindsay Holcomb** Abstract In judging an offender’s culpability, mitigation, or excuse, there seems to be general agreement that it is appropriate for the criminal law to take into account such things as the offender’s youthfulness or her significantly low IQ. There is even support for taking account of their distorted perceptions and reasoning induced by traumatic experiences, as in battered spouse syndrome. -

Robinson* and Lindsay Holcomb** ABSTRACT A patriotic prisoner of war is brainwashed by his North Korean captors into refusing repatriation and undertaking treasonous anti-American propaganda for the communist regime. Despite the general abhorrence of treason in time of war, the American public opposes criminal liability for such indoctrinated soldiers, yet existing criminal law provides no defense or mitigation because, at the time of the offense, the indoctrinated offender suffers no cognitive or control dysfunction, no mental or emotional impairment, and no external or internal compulsion. -

Abolishing Racist Policing With the Thirteenth Amendment Brandon Hasbrouck This Essay was also published in the UCLA Law Review's online publication, Discourse. ABSTRACT Policing in America has always been about controlling the Black body. Indeed, modern policing was birthed and nurtured by white supremacy; its roots are found in slavery. Policing today continues to protect and serve the racial hierarchy blessed by the Constitution itself. But a string of U.S. Supreme Court rulings involving the Thirteenth Amendment offers Congress a tool with which to target institutions that have preserved social, political, and official norms associated with slavery. In those cases, the Supreme Court held that Congress has broad enforcement authority under the Thirteenth Amendment to eliminate such "badges and incidents" of slavery. -

Please do not quote or cite without permission of the author Randi Lynn Tanglen Forthcoming in Reading Confederate Monuments, Ed. Maria Seger, University Press of Mississippi (2021) Teaching Confederate Monuments as American Literature For twelve years I taught at a small college in a small Texas town that houses the first Confederate monument erected in the state. The 1896 monument in Sherman, Texas looms large over the majority white community’s county courthouse, emphasizing the pedagogical aim of Confederate monuments when they were initially constructed: “The most visible symbols of Confederate culture [were] monuments and flags, both of which were considered important to the edification of southern youth. [T]he majority of monuments erected to the Confederacy were placed in public settings such as courthouse lawns or town squares, where, it was reasoned, they could be observed by children.”1 But the purpose of the monuments was not only to indoctrinate white children to their own racial supremacy but also to instill a pedagogy of racial intimidation in Black citizens. It is well documented that most Confederate monuments, like the one in Sherman, were erected decades after the Civil War when Southern states were disassembling the rights and freedoms Black Americans had gained during Reconstruction; Confederate soldier monuments personified racial terror by celebrating the Confederate causes of slavery and white supremacy. As essays in this volume detail, well before and certainly in the aftermath of the 2020 Black Lives Matter protests -
