IRRATIONAL COLLATERAL SANCTIONS |
20 Ohio State Journal of Criminal Law 87 (Fall, 2023) |
In the modern era, a criminal sentence is rarely truly over just because someone has served their time. Instead, both legal and social barriers continue to haunt most people who have been convicted of crimes for years. These barriers often persist long past the point of making good sense. While social barriers like stigma are not always easy for... |

JUDGE FRANKEL'S FIFTY-YEAR-OLD INVITATION TO RECONSTRUCT SENTENCING |
2023 Federal Sentencing Reporter 4423988 (4/1/2023) |
America was a different place at the time Judge Marvin Frankel penned his now-famous text Criminal Sentences: Law without Order in 1973. Richard Nixon was the U.S. president. The Vietnam War was ending. The Watergate scandal was unfolding. There was much to grab the public's attention, and criminal sentencing was not a national or international... |

KILLING PRECEDENT: THE SLAUGHTER-HOUSE CONSTITUTION |
123 Columbia Law Review 1135 (May, 2023) |
This Essay offers a revisionist account of the Slaughter-House Cases. It argues that the opinion's primary significance lies not in its gutting of the Privileges or Immunities Clause but in its omission of a people's archive of slavery. Decades before the decision, Black abolitionists began compiling the testimonies of refugees who had fled... |

Regulatory enforcement is only as good as the standards to be enforced.
