1. I thought The Imperial Scholar was an important and eye-opening read. It made me think about how legal ideas are passed down and who decides what gets taught. I agree with Delgado that including more voices would make legal education better, and that the field has a responsibility to be more inclusive. This article pushes readers to think differently about power, privilege, and knowledge, and I think it is a valuable piece that still matters today.

2. This article opened my eyes to the injustices that minority writers face within the legal world, where their views are often misinterpreted they are not given the credit they deserve. The law review writers who share a small group of thoughts and ideas back and forth, where they only require change if it does not disturb their way of life. The author mentioned that the popular law review authors began their journey in law in the 1960s and 1970s’s was a time when law could not change the situations like the Civil Rights Movement. I learned about the sheer ignorance of authors who disregarded the years of hardships that minorities faced, but they are often writing journals about the influence of Civil Rights.

3. Richard Delgado’s major concern in The Imperial Scholar, is a critical review of existing literature in the field of civil rights. His aim is to interrogate the canon of legal scholarship on civil rights, particularly focusing on how a narrow group of elite, predominantly white male scholars dominate this field. By exposing the structural barriers that limit scholarly diversity, Delgado calls for a more inclusive and critically self-aware legal academy. Inlfuential reading and overall great to get any serious studnet thinking.
