ENDORSING AFTER DEATH |
63 William and Mary Law Review 1531 (April, 2022) |
An endorsement is an act of giving one's public support to a person, product, service, or cause; accordingly, it might seem impossible for someone to make an endorsement after they have died. Nevertheless, posthumous endorsements have become commonplace in social media marketing and have been increasingly embraced by trademark and unfair... |

The legal profession is among the least diverse in the United States.

FIREARMS AND INITIAL AGGRESSORS |
101 North Carolina Law Review 1 (December, 2022) |
Under the initial aggressor doctrine, a person who initiates a physical confrontation loses the right to claim self-defense. Until recently, judges, legal scholars, and others have paid relatively little attention to this doctrinal limitation on the defense of self-defense. Two high-profile criminal trials in 2021 put the initial aggressor doctrine... |

FIRST AMENDMENT CONTRADICTIONS AND PATHOLOGIES IN DISCOURSE |
64 Arizona Law Review 307 (Summer, 2022) |
A robust, principled application of the First Amendment produces contradictions that undermine the very justifications for free speech protections.

FREE SPEECH ON CAMPUS: COUNTERING THE CLIMATE OF FEAR |
20 Georgetown Journal of Law & Public Policy 975 (Special Issue 2022) |
Similar to the entertainment industry in the time of the blacklist, a climate of fear has descended on the nation's universities and colleges. It is the fear of being punished, not for what one does, but for what one says. Today, students and faculty frequently refrain from expressing unpopular or offensive positions--often conservative,... |

Instead, the government must obtain a warrant that is based on the specificity or particularity of the person, place, or thing to be searched. This approach evolved from a property-centric approach to safeguarding Fourth Amendment rights to one that is based... |

Throughout its history, the United States has struggled with movements that aim to silence others through state or private action. These periods have been pendulous, with acute suppression followed by relative tolerance for free speech. This boom-or-bust pattern for free speech may well continue. However, the United States is arguably living... |
