Yet, in most of the discussions about these tragic deaths, little attention has been paid to a significant dimension of the police violence problem: the legalisation of racial profiling in a body of U.S. constitutional law that is supposed to constrain police power: Fourth Amendment jurisprudence.

The Department of Jurisprudence in the Faculty of Law, University of Pretoria cordially invites you to a guest lecture by Professor Devon Carbado, Associate Vice-Chancellor of BruinX for Equity, Diversity and Inclusion and the Honorable Harry Pregerson Profesor of Law at UCLA School of Law, Los Angeles, USA on 'Constitutionalising Black Death? Race, Law and Police Violence in the United States' on Tuesday, 24 April 2018.
