Emily A. Bishop, Avoiding “Ally Theater” in Legal Writing Assignments, 26 (1) Persp: Teaching Legal Res. & Writing 3 (2018)."In this article, I use the concept of “ally theater” to reframe some of the risks inherent in white professors' use of legal writing problems centered on issues of race. In Part I, I explain the origins of “ally theater” in online social media, discuss the risk that a similar phenomenon could occur within legal writing courses, and identify a more effective form of allyship for white legal writing professors. In Part II, I recommend that white law professors-- whose privilege makes them less inclined to notice the conditions that cause law students of color to bear additional burdens in comparison to their white counterparts--assume that these conditions are present in their classrooms. In Part III, I list specific strategies that white legal writing professors can use to address the assumptions presented in Part II."
