By re-writing US Supreme Court opinions that implicate critical
dimensions of racial justice, Critical Race Judgments demonstrates
that it's possible to be judge and a critical race theorist.
Specific issues covered in these cases include the death penalty,
employment, voting, policing, education, the environment, justice,
housing, immigration, sexual orientation, segregation, and mass
incarceration. While some rewritten cases - Plessy v. Ferguson
(which constitutionalized Jim Crow) and Korematsu v. United States
(which constitutionalized internment) - originally focused on race,
many of the rewritten opinions - Lawrence v. Texas (which
constitutionalized sodomy laws) and Roe v. Wade (which
constitutionalized a woman's right to choose) - are used to
incorporate racial justice principles in novel and important ways.
This work is essential for everyone who needs to understand why
critical race theory must be deployed in constitutional law to
uphold and advance racial justice principles that are foundational
to US democracy.

This landmark book looks at what it means to be a multiracial
couple in the United States today. According to Our Hearts begins
with a look back at a 1925 case in which a two-month marriage ends
with a man suing his wife for misrepresentation of her race, and
shows how our society has yet to come to terms with interracial
marriage. Angela Onwuachi-Willig examines the issue by drawing from
a variety of sources, including her own experiences. She argues
that housing law, family law, and employment law fail, in important
ways, to protect multiracial couples. In a society in which
marriage is used to give, withhold, and take away status-in the
workplace and elsewhere-she says interracial couples are at a
disadvantage, which is only exacerbated by current law.
