PEDAGOGIES OF REFUSAL AS RACIAL REALIST PRAXIS |
20 Seattle Journal for Social Justice 1019 (Summer, 2022) |
As educators in an undergraduate legal program with a social justice mission, we understand our pedagogical practice and responsibility as one that reflects Derrick Bell's Racial Realism.

POWER OVER PROCEDURE |
57 Wake Forest Law Review 51 (2022) |
American law should better protect people's bodies from being caged than it should protect people's money. And yet in so many ways it does the opposite. Instead of calibrating protections for defendants to the importance of the interest at stake, disparities between pretrial protections in federal civil and criminal procedure instead track... |

PROCEDURAL LOSSES AND THE PYRRHIC VICTORY OF ABOLISHING QUALIFIED IMMUNITY |
99 Washington University Law Review 1459 (2022) |
Who decides? Failing to consider this simple question could turn attempts to abolish qualified immunity into a Pyrrhic victory.
