Who
The
UCLA-National Black Law Journal is accepting comments and articles for
Spring 2006 publication in the UCLA 35th Anniversary NBLJ issue. The NBLJ was
established in 1970 by 5 black law students and 2 black law professors at UCLA.
The Journal was the first of its kind to be dedicated to the publishing of works
which objectively analyze and evaluate the impact of laws on the black
community. In keeping with this tradition the 35th Anniversary issue will focus
on the debate surrounding the academic performance of African American law
students.
What
The Journal is accepting
submissions from legal scholars, students, practitioners, which address
questions including but not limited to the following:
- Has American legal education ever fully integrated the African-American
experience into the classroom?
- What impact do social attitudes on race have on educational outcomes?
- What is the role of stereotypes of black intellectual deficits in shaping the
institutional environment?
- What is the impact of phenomena such as “stereotype threat” on the educational
outcomes of African-Americans?
- How does the institutional environment of American law schools affect the
achievement of African-American law students?
