We will read an excerpt from Mascaras, Trenzas, y Greñas by Margaret Montoya, and a response to the article by a current law student. Both readings describe the author's experience managing her own past and identity in the 1L classroom. The excerpts prompt us to consider whether there is a dominant cultural narrative in the law, how those foreign to that cultural experience are affected by this dominance, and how it is manifested in the classroom.
Readings:

What is the Stanford Critical Law Society?

The mission of the organization is to create a safe space where students can address these topics and engage in societal and institutional critique.
