In Unreasonable: Black Lives, Police Power, and the Fourth Amendment, celebrated legal scholar Devon Carbado, The Honorable Harry Pregerson Professor of Law at UCLA, explains how the Fourth Amendment became ground zero for regulating police conduct—more important than Miranda warnings, the right to counsel, equal protection and due process. Fourth Amendment law determines when and how the police can make arrests, and it determines the precarious line between stopping Black people and killing Black people.

Please join the Stanford Criminal Justice Center, the Stanford Center for Racial Justice, the Center for Comparative Studies in Race and Ethnicity, the Black Law Students Association, and the American Constitution Society in a timely conversation with Professor Carbado about his book, moderated by Stanford Law Professors Jennifer Chacón and David Sklansky.
