📢 New Article & Toolkit!

CRDJ’s Dr. Kate Caldwell & Prof. Jamelia Morgan published “DisCrit Legal Studies: A Method for Legal Analysis” in Wayne State Law Review. It introduces DCLS—a framework uniting Disability Justice & Critical Race Theory to reveal how law reinforces ableism & racism. [1/3]
The image features a promotional graphic with a purple gradient background announcing a new publication and toolkit. At the top left, large white and light-blue text reads “New Article & Toolkit!” In the top right corner is the Wayne State Law Review logo, consisting of a white shield-shaped “W” icon above the words “WAYNE STATE Law Review.” Centered in the image is an open silver laptop displaying the DisCrit Legal Studies webpage. On the laptop screen, a white banner with purple text reads “DisCrit Legal Studies,” with a blue subtitle underneath that says “A Method for Legal Analysis.” Below the banner are three blue panels labeled “Matrix,” “Worksheet,” and “Rubric,” each with a small circular button labeled “Download.” At the bottom of the image, white text on a black marble-textured background reads “Contact us if you need an access copy.” In the lower right corner, a small white globe icon appears next to the web address “CRDJustice.org/DCLS.”

Building on our DisCrit series, this carousel explores how DisCrit can reshape American law by revealing how racism and ableism are intertwined in legal systems—and how a DisCrit approach can move us from disability rights toward disability justice. Created by summer intern Mary Yoon. [1/13]
Cover with large title “DisCrit in American Law.” Subtext reads “Created by Mary Yoon on behalf of the Center for Racial and Disability Justice.” Below, centered text asks, “How can DisCrit improve American law to better protect disabled people of color from discrimination and harm? Let’s hear from legal scholars in this field to learn more.” An illustration of Lady Justice holding scales and a sword appears on the left, with a soft orange glow behind the word “DisCrit.”

[THREAD] In May 2025, 26-year-old Imarah Aaliyah Bryan, a Black woman with cognitive disabilities, was jailed in Orlando for allegedly stealing $145 from Target.

She spent nearly 50 days behind bars before pleading no contest.
A booking photograph of a young Black woman shown from the shoulders up against a plain gray background. She is wearing a pink hooded sweatshirt. Her expression is neutral, with her lips closed and her eyes wide, looking directly into the camera. Her hair is cut short and closely cropped. The lighting is even and flat, typical of institutional mugshot photography.

The U.S. is bringing back psychiatric incarceration under the guise of "care." It’s carceral, not compassionate. We need real community support, not forced confinement.
