Some serious books have been written on the subject. What may be described as 'academic articles' here wlll almost certainly be idiot level misinformation.
It is very unlikely that any Republican politician ever studied CRT, so neither they nor their witless sycophants are qualified to comment.
What racial discrimination can you PROVE exists in the legal system. As far as I know the legal system runs on PROVABLE evidence submitted to a judge or group of defendants peers to decide if a PERSON of ANY race is guilty beoyond REASINABLE DOUBT of the allegation.
In NZ we have a reverse racial system where Jim bob gets a DISCOUNT on his sentence of murder/rape/assault/theiving cause he had a rough upbringing living in a caravan getting beaten by
drunk unemployed substitute father.
Like any modern pop culture term words or acronyms for those on per letter typed internet data plans, things often take on the identity of a subset or group of similar ideas. So while for you Critical Race Theiry is some specific high level university course for others it encompasses all the ideals that those infected with the concept spread into other academic institutions.
