HOW TO GET AWAY WITH MURDER: WHEN A WHITE MALE POLICE OFFICER KILLS A YOUNG BLACK PERSON |
79 Washington and Lee Law Review Online 1 (1/18/2022) |
Systemic racism in policing allows police officers, in particular white men, to continue to perpetuate the violent killings of Black people. This violence is not accidental. Rather it is intentional and allowed to continue due to a failure by the Supreme Court to hold police officers accountable. This Article explains how the doctrines of qualified... |

INTEGRATING A RACIAL CAPITALISM FRAMEWORK INTO FIRST-YEAR CONTRACTS: A PATHWAY TO ANTI-CAPITALIST LAWYERING |
35 Journal of Civil Rights & Economic Development 181 (Spring, 2022) |
I came to theory because I was hurting--the pain within me was so intense that I could not go on living. I came to theory desperate, wanting to comprehend--to grasp what was happening around and within me. Most importantly, I wanted to make the hurt go away. I saw in theory then a location for healing. [T]he practice of theory is informed by... |

IT SHOULD NOT MATTER WHAT TYPE OF OFFICER WRONGLY ARRESTS YOU: USING CIVIL RIGHTS ACTIONS TO PROTECT PEACEFUL PROTESTORS |
48 Journal of Legislation 370 (2022) |
On June 1, 2020, an operation headed by the United States Park Police (USPP) and the U.S. Secret Service cleared protestors from Lafayette Square outside the White House. At the same time, then-President Trump spoke nearby in the Rose Garden; he recommended that governors across the country dominate the streets and declared that he would deploy... |

JOHN LEWIS AND THE DURABILITY OF TRANSCENDENT RACE POLITICS |
37 Journal of Law and Religion 55 (January, 2022) |
John Lewis's civil rights activism in the 1960s often obscures the fact that he won elective office as a racially moderate politician. Scholars have long noted the efficacy of using deracialized, or racially transcendent, campaign strategies to get elected, despite normative concerns. These strategies were critical to electing Black governors,... |

LAWLESS SURVEILLANCE |
97 New York University Law Review 1143 (October, 2022) |
Policing agencies in the United States are engaging in mass collection of personal data, building a vast architecture of surveillance. License plate readers collect our location information. Mobile forensics data terminals suck in the contents of cell phones during traffic stops. CCTV maps our movements. Cheap storage means most of this is kept for... |

LAWYERING FROM A DEPORTATION ABOLITION ETHIC |

This Article contributes to the emerging literature on abolition within the immigration legal system by mapping deportation abolition theory onto lawyering practice.

Beginning in 2008, the first of three major crises hit the nation and had global implications and effects, including significant ones for the legal profession.

LEMONADE: A RACIAL JUSTICE REFRAMING OF THE ROBERTS COURT'S CRIMINAL JURISPRUDENCE |
110 California Law Review 681 (June, 2022) |
The saying goes, when life gives you lemons, make lemonade. When it comes to the Supreme Court's criminal jurisprudence and its relationship to racial (in)equity, progressive scholars often focus on the tartness of the lemons. In particular, they have studied how the Court often ignores race in its criminal decisions, a move that in turn reifies a... |

LETTING THE CAT OUT OF THE BAG: HOW LACK OF ACCESS TO ANIMAL COMPANIONSHIP AND HUSBANDRY FOSTERS INEQUALITY FOR BLACK AMERICANS |
12 UC Irvine Law Review 693 (February, 2022) |
Throughout American history, animals have been used by those in power to harm and terrorize Black Americans. While state-sanctioned use of slave-patrol and police dogs have been a commonly discussed issue, there has been little to no analysis on the harms Black Americans have faced from the systemic deprivation of animal companionship and... |

LEXIPOL'S FIGHT AGAINST POLICE REFORM |
97 Indiana Law Journal 1 (Winter, 2022) |
We are in the midst of a critically important moment in police reform. National and local attention is fixed on how to reduce the number of people killed and injured by the police. One approach--which has been recognized for decades to reduce police killings--is to limit police power to use force. This Article is the first to uncover how an... |

LIMINAL LABOR LAW |
110 California Law Review 1855 (December, 2022) |
How do people, organizations, and even movements bounce back from losses and setbacks? For organized labor, the disappointments are routinely legal: an overturned precedent, a loss of coverage, or even the accelerated degradation of the National Labor Relations Act (Act) regime itself. In aggregate, these and other law-based defeats pose a serious,... |

LOCAL BUDGETS, LOCAL DECISIONS: THE HOME RULE FOR THE 21ST CENTURY PROJECT'S STATE SUPPORT FOR LOCAL DEMOCRACY PROVISIONS |
100 North Carolina Law Review 1505 (June, 2022) |
As scholars of local government have long noted, without adequate local revenue, home rule provides hollow legal authority. Recognizing the importance of local revenue, the National League of Cities' Principles of Home Rule for the 21st Century (Principles) explicitly includes taxation as a power granted by home rule and articulates a... |

LYING AT PLEA BARGAINING |
38 Georgia State University Law Review 673 (Spring, 2022) |
This Article describes the regular use of lying during plea bargaining by criminal justice stakeholders and the paradox it presents for those who care about creating a fairer criminal legal system. The paradox is this: lying at plea bargaining allows defendants the opportunity to negotiate fair resolutions to their cases in the face of a deeply... |

MAKING VICTIMS WHOLE AGAIN: USING RESTORATIVE JUSTICE TO HEAL HATE CRIME VICTIMS, REFORM OFFENDERS, AND STRENGTHEN COMMUNITIES |
37 Temple International and Comparative Law Journal 161 (Fall, 2022) |
The traditional framework for addressing hate crime in the United States centers on punishing offenders. These punitive measures tend to expose offenders, as well as victims and their communities, to more policing and to funnel offenders into the system of mass incarceration--all while failing to address the root causes of hate crime. Although the... |

MANAGING THE POLICE EMERGENCY |
100 North Carolina Law Review 1209 (May, 2022) |
There is a policing emergency in the United States. Police across the country cause massive, widespread, and unpredictable physical harm--killings, beatings; psychological harm--negative stress-related birth and educational outcomes, general worsened mental health; and sociological harm--advancing the racial, gender, and economic hierarchies that... |

MEASURING POLICE BODY CAMERA INFRASTRUCTURE |
62 Santa Clara Law Review 273 (2022) |
Police body cameras have been in ascendancy since at least the 2014 deaths of Eric Garner and Michael Brown, and body cameras are poised to play an increasing role in law enforcement following the more recent deaths of George Floyd, Daunte Wright, and others. Indeed, President Biden, himself, has repeatedly called for the passage of the George... |

MEDICAL MARTIAL LAW: TOWARDS A MORE EFFECTIVE PANDEMIC POLICY |

In early 2020, prophylactic actions and draconian proposals targeted the confinement of COVID-19 virus contagion vectors.

MEDITATIONS ON TEACHING WHAT ISN'T: THEORIZING THE INVISIBLE IN LAW AND LAW SCHOOL |
66 New York Law School Law Review 387 (2021/2022) |
Make an effort to remember. Or, failing that, invent. The hardest thing to comprehend is what is not visible. Because, of course, not visible does not mean not present. It simply means not capable of being seen. This essay is an effort to weave together disparate thoughts about what in law may be not visible, not seen, and yet, not... |

MOVEMENT CONSTITUTIONALISM |
75 Oklahoma Law Review 89 (Autumn, 2022) |
The white supremacy at the heart of the American criminal legal system works to control Black, Brown, and poor people through mass incarceration. Poverty and incarceration act in a vicious circle, with reactionaries mounting a desperate defense against any attempt to mitigate economic exploitation or carceral violence. Ending the cycle will require... |

MOVEMENT JUDGES |

Judges matter. The opinions of a few impact the lives of many. Judges romanticize their own impartiality, but apathy in the face of systems of oppression favors the status quo and clears the way for conservative agendas to take root. The lifetime appointments of federal judges, the deliberate weaponization of the bench by reactionary opponents of... |

NAME AND SHAME: HOW INTERNATIONAL PRESSURE ALLOWS CIVIL RIGHTS ACTIVISTS TO INCORPORATE HUMAN RIGHTS NORMS INTO AMERICAN JURISPRUDENCE |
17 Duke Journal of Constitutional Law & Public Policy Sidebar 303 (4/8/2022) |
The United States has ratified international human rights treaties sparingly. Where it has ratified, it has provided such a large number of reservations that the treaties' domestic effects are effectively nullified. Even though international human rights law has not been directly incorporated into American jurisprudence, however, international... |
