2 Unit(s)

This course will examine American property law from its racialized foundations in the dispossession of Black and indigenous peoples to its continued disproportionate impact on vulnerable communities today. Familiar cases from first year property law will be reexamined in new light, and new cases will be introduced to illustrate how property rules have been selectively applied to maintain racial hierarchy.
