UPHOLDING CIVIL RIGHTS IN ENVIRONMENTAL LAW: THE CASE FOR EX ANTE TITLE VI REGULATION AND ENFORCEMENT |
41 New York University Review of Law and Social Change 45 (2017) |
In the twenty-first century, discrimination has become increasingly subliminal, unconscious, and structural.

USING DETERRENCE THEORY TO PROMOTE PROSECUTORIAL ACCOUNTABILITY |
21 Lewis & Clark Law Review 573 (2017) |
Prosecutors--the most powerful actors in the American criminal justice system-- largely avoid accountability for misconduct. To promote fairer processes and results, prosecutors must be held to account for violations of defendants' due process and fair trial rights and the related ethical rules that help protect those rights. An important thread of... |

USING LEGAL ETHICS TO IMPROVE IMPLICIT BIAS IN PROSECUTORIAL DISCRETION |
42 Journal of the Legal Profession 111 (Fall, 2017) |
Racial consideration and evidence of its disparaging effects on prosecutorial discretion were not compelling enough to convince the Supreme Court to place limits on the power of the prosecutor.

Black Lives Matter, a movement initiated in response to state-sanctioned violence committed against Blacks, is fueled by a demand that the lives of black people in the United States be valued and dignified. Gay, lesbian, and transgender communities have built an advocacy... |

WHY THE CIVILIAN PURCHASE, USE, AND SALE OF ASSAULT WEAPONS AND SEMIAUTOMATIC RIFLES AND PISTOLS, ALONG WITH LARGE CAPACITY MAGAZINES, SHOULD BE BANNED |
20 NYU Journal of Legislation and Public Policy 593 (2017) |
In the United States, private citizens can purchase powerful and semiautomatic assault weapons and large capacity magazines. In 1994, Congress passed the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act, which imposed a ten-year ban on the civilian use of many such weapons. Upon its expiration in 2004, Congress refused to extend the ban despite... |
