with Derrick Bell and Jim Sleeper on Jul 28, 1997
Derrick Bell is a visiting professor of Constitutional Law at New York University School of Law for the past 15 years and a major figure within the legal studies discipline of Critical Race Theory.
Bell is an influential source of thought critical of traditional civil rights discourse. Bell?s critique represented a challenge on the dominant liberal and conservative position on civil rights, race and the law. Derrick Bell employed three major arguments in his analyses of racial patterns in American law: Constitutional contradiction, the interest convergence principle, and the price of racial remedies.
