Abstract

AMERICAN JOURNAL of LAW and EQUALITY Randall Kennedy, Martha Minow, and Cass Sunstein, editors The American Journal of Law and Equality stemmed from a determination on the part of the founding editors to do something to contribute to efforts to analyze injustices and offer useful responses. We decided to start a journal in the summer of 2020, during that period after the horrific murder of George Floyd when millions of people around the world raised their voices to show solidarity with those who are mistreated by the very officials who are supposed to protect them. Seeking to meet the imperatives of that moment and encouraged by Dean John Manning, professors at Harvard Law School created new offerings to address the dramatic upsurge in student demand for exploration of various social pathologies in- cluding racism and kindred prejudices, class deprivation, and all other sorts of unfairness. My co-editors and I decided to assist by creating a journal focused on the broad and vexing subject of equality. When we began, we had no blueprint. We did not even have a title.
