Article focused on the discussion of the stringent standard of the EEOC in the CIvil Rights Act of 1964.

This article does not suggest that any one proposal for
reform is the "correct" response to discrimination in the
peremptory challenge process. The "optimal" solution de-
pends on too many unquantifiable variables. By defining a "Batson function"4 that incorporates the relevant variables and analyzing each proposal's effect on that function, this article highlights the trade-offs of each proposal and thereby encourages more informed and reasoned decision making. At a minimum, however, the analysis demonstrates that Batson should be extended to limit a civil litigant's ability to discriminate in the jury selection process.
Part Two of this article explains the nature and opera-
tion of the peremptory challenge. Part Three provides a brief description of the leading Supreme Court precedents and their lower court progeny. Part Four argues that Batson should apply to civil litigation. This section first demonstrates that case law and policy dictate that a civil litigant's discriminatory peremptory challenge be deemed state action. Then, through analysis with the Batson function, it concludes that
the many differences between civil and criminal trials do not justify disparate treatment of discriminatory peremptory challenges in civil and criminal proceedings. Finally, Part Five suggests and analyzes the merits and shortcomings of several legislative proposals that may eradicate discrimination in the juror selection process more fully than Batson.

An article focused on teaching Civil Procedure while integrating concepts of racial justice.

The delivery of health care in the United States is multi-
tiered; the greatest levels of security and many of the benefits of medical research and advanced technology are reserved for selected segments of American society. Structural forms of racial discrimination and practices of segregation by providers of medical services are common and entrenched, and they ensure that such security and benefits are not available to many African Americans and most of the poor. Part I of this Article will focus on the need to ensure protection against racial discrimination in the delivery of health care. Part II will
discuss the role of civil rights litigation in addressing barriers of access. Finally, Part III will turn to a key problem faced by civil rights litigators in the courts today-the gulf between the realities of exclusion that are experienced by our clients and what is accepted as proof of exclusion by courts. Unfortunately, advocates can expect this problem to survive even a dramatic overhaul of the health care regime. This Article suggests that
to be more successful on behalf of our clients, we need to find more effective and creative ways of communicating the experience of denial.

Argues that the 1996 PLRA discriminates against inmates in violation of the provisions of the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments, using a comparison of the status of prisoners with that of Blacks under the Jim Crow system (as a discrete and insular minority). Some focus on the commonly cited footnote four of the 1938 Carolene Products case, and its role in constitutional law and judicial protection of civil rights.
