Description of Black Robes, White Justice: Why Our Legal System Doesn’t Work for Blacks
The author, a New York State Supreme Court Justice and a black man, argues that our legal system is fundamentally unfair towards African Americansand documents his assertion with many cases drawn from his long experience as a lawyer and judge. A timely and relevant subject in the aftermath of the Rodney King trials and the LA riots.
