Uc Law Journal Of Race And Economic Justice

The UC Law Journal of Race and Economic Justice (formerly known as the UC Hastings Race and Poverty Law Journal) was founded in 2002 to examine the intersection between race, socioeconomics, and social justice in the United States. The American legal and economic system has long tied race and ethnicity to one's economic and social opportunities. Examples of this include slavery, redlining, segregation, and immigration policies. While Congress formally abolished these entrenched systems long ago, they continue to have significant ramifications in this country. This journal examines those ramifications from a legal and socioeconomic standpoint and asks what our society can do to address them.
