During the coronavirus pandemic, movements for penal abolition and racial justice achieved dramatic growth and increased visibility.

AFTER THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM |
98 Washington Law Review 899 (October, 2023) |
Abstract: Since the 1960s, the criminal justice system has operated as the common label for a vast web of actors and institutions.

AFTER THE LAW OF APOLITICAL ECONOMY: RECLAIMING THE NORMATIVE STAKES OF LABOR UNIONS |
132 Yale Law Journal 1391 (March, 2023) |
It is a consequential moment for American labor unions. Over the past decade, public support for labor unions has skyrocketed. Yet even in this moment of renewed public interest, I argue that the American conversation about unions remains constrained by the legacy of past legal decisions. Within the post-New Deal constitutional framework, unions... |

BEYOND COLOR-BLIND INTERNATIONAL ECONOMIC LAW |
117 AJIL Unbound 61 (2023) |
This essay makes three claims. First, that the central role of race in international economic law has been erased and much more needs to be done to recover its large footprints in the discipline as well as in the policies and practices that constitute it. Second, that rules of international economic law formally embed racially constructed... |

Working in and around the law for the past several years, we became acutely aware of--have felt in our bones--a certain paradox in the law: how legal resources and opportunities to shape the law are completely unavailable to the vast majority of people in the United States, and yet legal structures exert an enormous, tsunami-like force on those... |

This Note explores the relationship between contractual parties in the credit market, as shaped by debt capitalism, through a brief history of slavery, peonage, and credit/debt legislation.

The lack of resources available to assist low-income litigants as they navigate the legal system has been widely documented.

What do you think of our turban-heads' (women de chantou)? the taxi driver wondered, nodding out the window at a Uyghur pedestrian. I stared at him blankly. Not waiting for my response, he continued, wanting to get my thoughts on how the United States's war in Iraq was going. He had heard that it was going to affect the oil prices. It was 2010,... |

DISASTER DISCORDANCE: LOCAL COURT IMPLEMENTATION OF STATE AND FEDERAL EVICTION PREVENTION POLICIES DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC |
30 Georgetown Journal on Poverty Law and Policy 545 (Spring, 2023) |
Eviction sits at the nexus of property rights and the basic human need for shelter--the former benefits from a strong framework of legal protection while the latter does not. In most eviction courts across the country, therefore, the right to housing is unrecognized, while landlords' economic interests in property are consistently vindicated. The... |

53 Environmental Law 169 (Spring, 2023) |
The legalization of cannabis in the United States has focused on creating regulated, for-profit commercial markets modeled on alcohol to replace the prohibition regime that held sway for most of the 20th Century.

While much is written about racialization of street criminals in the American media, racial dimensions of the media framing of white-collar crime remain underexplored. To address this issue, we analyze the coverage of bribery, electoral fraud, tax evasion, and insider trading in five national newspapers between 1950 and 2010. Drawing on John... |

Key to this framework is that antitrust treats all consumers monolithically; that consumers are... |
