I try to connect abstract legal doctrines to broader issues and current events—for example, how property law can be used to perpetuate racial justice, or to prevent it. Recently in a Constitutional Law class, I introduced arguments about Senator Kamala Harris’ eligibility to be Vice President—specifically, whether she’s a “natural born citizen” under the citizenship clause of the 14th Amendment—then polled students on whether they thought these arguments were racist (89% said “yes,” 11% said “no”). I then had them argue both sides, citing constitutional analyses. This prompted an incredible Zoom discussion!
