Professor Imani Perry, Associate Professor of Law at Rutgers School of Law, Camden, recently published an article that the REP hopes our readers will find interesting. In particular, we found the article’s forceful argument in favor of a practice model that puts community lawerying and “post-intent” impact work on equal footing to be particularly relevant to the legal services community.

Imani Perry, Post-Intent Racism: A New Framework For An Old Problem, 19 NBLJ 113 (2007).

• Summary: This article argues that an effective effort to combat racism must occur in “both law and culture.” In other words, “post-intent” legal policy advocacy must be coupled with community activism to effectuate the goal of combating the current forms of racism in American society.
