CRIMINAL LAW--BAIL REFORM--SUPREME JUDICIAL COURT OF MASSACHUSETTS HOLDS THAT JUDGES MUST ISSUE FINDINGS OF FACT WHEN SETTING UNAFFORDABLE BAIL FOR INDIGENT DEFENDANTS.--BRANGAN v. COMMONWEALTH, 80 N.E.3D 949 (MASS. 2017) |
131 Harvard Law Review 1497 (March, 2018) |

CRIMINAL PROCEDURE AND THE GOOD CITIZEN |
118 Columbia Law Review 653 (March, 2018) |
There is an aspect of criminal procedure decisions that has for too long gone unnoticed, unrecognized, and unremarked upon. Embedded in the Supreme Court's criminal procedure jurisprudence--at times hidden in plain sight, at other times hidden below the surface--are asides about what it means to be a good citizen. The good citizen, for example,... |

CRIMINAL PROCEDURE, THE POLICE, AND THE WIRE AS DISSENT |
2018 University of Chicago Legal Forum 65 (2018) |
The Wire is rich with metaphors. There is the physical wire in the opening credits, a metaphor for surveillance more generally. There is the metaphor of the wire in the sense of a modern tightrope--another filmic work, Man on a Wire, comes to mind--where any minute one can lose one's balance. There is even the metaphor of the wire in the sense that... |

CROSSING THE THIN BLUE LINE: PROTECTING LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS WHO BLOW THE WHISTLE |
52 U.C. Davis Law Review Online 1 (June, 2018) |
Law enforcement makes headline news for shootings of unarmed civilians, departmental corruption, and abuse of suspects and witnesses. Also well-documented is the code of silence, the thin blue line, which discourages officers from reporting improper and unlawful conduct by fellow officers.
