Deana Pollard Sacks

Deana Pollard Sacks, a legal educator and author, is a professor of law at Texas Southern University.[1] She was born in Tacoma in 1964, educated at Gig Harbor High School, the University of Washington (B.A.), the University of Southern California (J.D.), and the University of California-Berkeley (LL.M.). Her scholarship centers around issues of gender and race. Her most prominent articles are on the legal regulation of pornography,[2] the imposition of tort liability for failure to disclose material details in dating relationships (such as marital status and the presence of sexually transmitted diseases),[3] producer liability for violent video games, implicit racial and gender bias in the legal system,[4] and the movement to ban corporal punishment.[5] In recent years her work on sex torts and on corporal punishment has been cited in briefs and in court opinions as those issues have been increasingly litigated. In 2014, Professor Sacks started a grass-roots independent talk show in Malibu, California, Meet The Professors (www.MeetTheProfessors.org) for the purpose of bringing social science information directly to the public, such as information concerning the effects of media on the brain and behavior, implicit racial bias, and sexual culture.
