UCLA School of Law professors will discuss the racial implications of this term’s Supreme Court Cases. Prof. Nanda will discuss the implications of the Graham v. Florida and Sullivan v. Florida, which involve whether the Eighth Admit ban against cruel and unusual punishment prohibits states from sentencing juveniles who have committed non-homicide crimes to life without Parole. Prof. Motomura will discuss the racial implications of Chicanos por la Causa (CPLC) v. Napolitano, which will likely be granted cert since the Supreme Court requested the Solicitor General to brief the issues in that case. CPLC presents the issue of whether states are preempted by the Federal government from imposing licensing sanctions on employers who hire immigrants outside the law. Prof. Bali would discuss Kiyemba v. Obama, which involves the release of Guantanamo detainees to live in the U.S., or Holder v. Humanitarian Law Project, which involves the constitutionality of a law prohibiting "material support" to designated terrorist groups. Prof. Cheryl Harris will give an overview of race on the Roberts court, including the trends of the Roberts Court in the last several years and where things are likely to go.
