Journal of Civil Rights and Economic Development

Established in 1984-1985, the Journal of Civil Rights and Economic Development (JCRED) was formerly known as the Journal of Legal Commentary.

Building on its rich history of excellent scholarship on issues of social, racial, and economic justice, the journal officially became affiliated with the Ronald H. Brown Center for Civil Rights in 2010. Since then, JCRED has continued to produce innovative symposium issues and publish high-quality student notes. In addition, JCRED students publish short articles about cutting edge topics on the JCRED website.

The subjects of recent symposium issues have included:

  • Mass incarceration and the school to prison pipeline
  • The political division of the Brett Kavanaugh nomination and the #MeToo Movement
  • The tragedy of family separation at the border and the need for comprehensive immigration reform
  • The 50th anniversary of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 (in collaboration with the National Bar Association)
