THE REVOCATION OF COMMUNITY SUPERVISION: A REFORM PROJECT |
20 Ohio State Journal of Criminal Law 1 (Fall, 2023) |
One of my very first cases as a public defender involved a violation of federal supervised release, and I have been drawn to such cases ever since. I agreed to cover the case for one of my colleagues during my first few days in the office. My colleague handed me the file, assuring me that there was no way for me to mess anything up. Ms. Collins had... |

THE SLAYER RULE: AN EMPIRICAL EXAMINATION |
48 ACTEC Law Journal 201 (Spring, 2023) |
Elmer Palmer murdered his grandfather. The undisputed motive was money. The grandfather's will included a large gift to Elmer, which the grandfather was poised to eliminate. Elmer acted first.

THE TAX INFORMATION GAP AT THE TOP |
108 Iowa Law Review 1597 (May, 2023) |
ABSTRACT: Tax information reporting is an essential element of tax administration and compliance in the United States. When individuals earn wages, accrue interest, or receive Social Security benefits, the Internal Revenue Service almost always knows. In these situations, a third party, such as an employer or a bank, files an information return... |

THE TRIAL TAX AND THE INTERSECTION OF RACE/ETHNICITY, GENDER, AND AGE IN CRIMINAL COURT SENTENCING |
47 Law and Human Behavior 201 (February, 2023) |
Objective: Prior research consistently demonstrates that defendants convicted at trial are sentenced more harshly than those who plead guilty. Additionally, a vast literature has shown that Black and Hispanic defendants, and especially young minority males, are particularly disadvantaged in sentencing, though these effects may be conditional on... |

THE TROUBLE WITH TIME SERVED |
48 Brigham Young University Law Review 2001 (2023) |
Every jurisdiction in the United States gives criminal defendants credit against their sentence for the time they spend detained pretrial. In a world of mass incarceration and overcriminalization that disproportionately impacts people of color, this practice appears to be a welcome mechanism for mercy and justice. In fact, however, crediting... |

THE TWO TITLE IXS |
101 North Carolina Law Review 403 (January, 2023) |
Title IX, a law that mandates equality, operates unequally. Title IX prohibits sex discrimination of all forms, including sexual harassment, in public schools. When students assert Title IX sexual harassment claims, one standard exists for determining Title IX's violation. The Supreme Court held that schools violate Title IX when they respond with... |

After all, fintech companies are still subject to the same market forces as traditional financial institutions, with little incentive to address... |

WELFARE v. WEALTHFARE: THE ILLUSION OF EQUALITY IN TAX POLICY |
20 Pittsburgh Tax Review 363 (Spring, 2023) |
Tax laws and policies may be perceived as race-neutral because race data is not used to determine tax liability. Similarly, the rate structure may be perceived as progressive because tax rates increase as income increases. Nonetheless, history has demonstrated that tax laws and policies are biased against race and class and the tax system is not... |

Despite voluminous literature about these debates, great uncertainty remains about which views experts endorse. This Article... |

WHAT DO WE DO WITH YOU: HOW THE UNITED STATES USES RACIAL-GENDERED IMMIGRANT LABOR TO INFORM ITS IMMIGRANT INCLUSION-EXCLUSION CYCLE |

The United States has constructed and continues to enforce gender, race, and labor assumptions through the Immigration and Nationality Act's (INA) deportation rules. The United States crafted its immigration laws to be flexible enough to lean on and vilify immigrant labor depending on the nation's labor needs. Modern enforcement of the INA's... |

WHEN PERMANENCY IS PERMANENT SEPARATION: IN THE FAMILY REGULATION SYSTEM, A TEMPORARY REMOVAL FAST TRACKS TERMINATING PARENTS' RIGHTS |

The Adoption and Safe Families Act (ASFA) is a federal law that creates a mandate for states to move to terminate parents' rights if a child has been in foster care for fifteen out of the twenty-two most recent months. The federal government then pays states for each adoption over a set threshold amount, which has resulted in terminating over two... |

Seldom do the policies of prosecutors' offices come to light.

WHITE MOCK JURORS' MORAL EMOTIONAL RESPONSES TO VIEWING FEMALE VICTIM PHOTOGRAPHS DEPEND ON THE VICTIM'S RACE |
47 Law and Human Behavior 666 (December, 2023) |
Objective: Jurors often see both premortem photographs of female murder victims before death and postmortem photographs after death. Postmortem photographs are often probative but might prejudicially heighten jurors' other-condemning emotions, such as anger and disgust. Premortem photographs are often not probative and might prejudicially heighten... |

WHITEWASHING THE FOURTH AMENDMENT |
111 Georgetown Law Journal 923 (May, 2023) |
A conventional critical race critique of the Supreme Court and its Fourth Amendment jurisprudence is that it erases race. Scholars argue that by erasing race, the Court has crafted doctrine that is oblivious to people of color's lived experiences with policing in America. This Article complicates this critique by asking whether it is solely the... |

WHOSE CHILD IS THIS? EDUCATION, PROPERTY, AND BELONGING |
123 Columbia Law Review 1201 (June, 2023) |

Once a child is non-excludable, the story goes, he should have complete access to the benefits of educational property. This Essay suggests a challenge to the idea that exclusion is the main attribute of... |
