UNFULFILLED PROMISES OF THE FINTECH REVOLUTION |
111 California Law Review 801 (June, 2023) |
While financial technology (fintech) has the potential to make financial services more accessible and affordable, hope that technology alone can solve the complex issue of wealth inequality is misplaced. After all, fintech companies are still subject to the same market forces as traditional financial institutions, with little incentive to address... |

WOULD JUSTICE SCALIA THINK BLACK GUNS MATTER? |
47 New York University Review of Law and Social Change 1 (2023) |

A COMMISSION ON RECOGNITION AND RECONSTRUCTION FOR THE UNITED STATES: ILLUSORY OR INSPIRATIONAL? |
66 New York Law School Law Review 359 (2021/2022) |
The United States remains a deeply divided society, with the fault line continuing to be that of race and racism. Of course, this is not new, as W. E. B. Du Bois famously noted more than a century ago that the problem of the color line would be the central issue of the United States in the twentieth century. And so it remains today. The statistics... |
