Human Rights in Central Asia

This article is a stub and contains only a short paragraph. However, it does tackle Wikipedia's equity gaps insofar as it relates to a historically underrepresented group of people and has a social justice lens.

Substantive Rights

This Article is also a stub that requires expansion. It also doesn't even have a citation for the basic definition of substantive rights.

Jailhouse Lawyer

This article needs more citations because while the information is correct, there is little citing authority, including a lack of links to the actual handbooks. This is a topic that addresses equity gaps because it pertains to people in prison who gain significant legal knowledge through lived experiences.

ADA Litigation in the United States

The article is slightly longer than the other stubs but only contains two cases from the US Supreme Court and a few from Washington state court. The topic works toward Wikipedia's equity gap because it concerns the rights of people with disabilities and contains a neutral tone describing the facts, issues, and holdings of the cases.

Exhaustion of remedies

I tried to find an article about Administrative Exhaustion in Prisons and found this stub article. There is probably additional information on this topic in the article on the Prison Litigation Reform Act. However, this stub touches on exhaustion of remedies in habaes appeals and could go into the issue of administrative exhaustion as a prerequisite for conditions of confinement litigation.
