Final presentation is by @ProfSueMcMahon and @sherrileekeene about need to peel back the veneer of law being neutral
Questions we can ask our students to help avoid teaching our students to unintentionally replicate injustice found within the law #LWIOneDay2020
Phase 1 is unearthing embedded power dynamic. Phase 2 is giving them tools for change (including using rule synthesis and analogically reasoning to help create new law). #LWIOneDay2020
Also helpful to expose students to non-litigation tools for change: grassroots organizing, legislative change, op-Ed writing #LWIOneDay2020
Op-Ed exercise allows students to hone persuasive skills, deepens thinking re audience and purpose. #LWIOneDay2020
@sherrileekeene talking now about whose voices the law invites in and whose voices are excluded, particularly in context of ignored citizen narratives re police encounters. #LWIOneDay2020
When we confine our classroom discussions to the case law, and the case law is slanted and ignores race, we need a new approach. #LWIOneDay2020
Building in pauses and critical reflection and analysis, helping students appreciate the role of stories in the law #LWIOneDay2020
Whose experiences do courts center and whose perspectives get ignored? Focusing on lack of evidence of coercive police tactics erases perspective of stopped defendant, doesn’t ask whether D felt free to refuse consent or disproportionate risk from stop #LWIOneDay2020
Bringing in broader context of citizen-police encounters is remarkable but shouldn’t be. #LWIOneDay2020
