THE CIVILIZATION CANON: COMMON LAW, LEGISLATION, AND THE CASE OF HAWAIIAN ADOPTION |
71 UCLA Law Review 128 (January, 2024) |
Recently, scholars have uncovered many ways in which our traditional understandings of the U.S. Constitution have failed to grapple with American empire and colonialism. This work has shown that the nation's history of mistreating Indigenous peoples is constitutive of its legal order. In this Article, I provide evidence of a similar kind of... |

THE COLOR OF SOCIAL SECURITY: RACE AND UNEQUAL PROTECTION IN THE CROWN JEWEL OF THE AMERICAN WELFARE STATE |
35 Stanford Law and Policy Review 104 (February, 2024) |
The Social Security Act is undoubtedly one of the nation's most important accomplishments in addressing Americans' economic insecurity, poverty and human suffering. However, since its enactment in 1935, it has fallen short in delivering on the promise of equitable economic protection for African Americans and similarly situated persons of color.... |

21 Rutgers Journal of Law & Public Policy 346 (Spring, 2024) |
The 1954 Supreme Court decision Brown v. Board of Education dramatically altered the American public education system and, subsequently, the overall status of race relations in the United States.

This Article examines the 1948 Displaced Persons Act which provided for the ability of certain European refugees to immigrate to the United States following World War II. The 1948 Act discriminated against Jewish survivors of the Holocaust and imprinted Nazi racial laws and ideology upon U.S. law. Moreover, in debates over passage of such a law, a... |

THE EQUAL PROTECTION CASE AGAINST DISPARATE U.S. HUMANITARIAN PAROLE POLICIES FOR AFGHANS COMPARED TO UKRAINIANS |
93 Fordham Law Review 993 (December, 2024) |
The disparities between the U.S. government's use of humanitarian parole in response to the humanitarian crises in Afghanistan and Ukraine are indicative of discrimination and violate the Equal Protection Clause. As such, U.S.-based relatives of Afghans should prevail in seeking accountability for the thousands of Afghans who continue to wait for... |

THE FIRST AMENDMENT AND CONSTITUTIVE RHETORIC: A POLICY PROPOSAL |
99 New York University Law Review 1338 (October, 2024) |
First Amendment law is heavily influenced by a familiar set of policy considerations. Courts often defend their First Amendment rulings by referencing speech's place within a marketplace of ideas. They consider whether speech facilitates self-governance or furthers society's search for truth. They weigh the relative value of certain types of... |

This article considers the steps taken on the international level in the 1920s and 30s to define the terms through which freedom and unfreedom in the context of labor might be understood, the manner in which understandings of forced labor have subsequently evolved, and the parameters and potentials of the concept today.

THE INVENTION OF IMMIGRATION EXCEPTIONALISM |
134 Yale Law Journal 329 (November, 2024) |
American immigration law is a domain where ordinary constitutional rules have never applied. At least, that is the conventional wisdom. Immigration law's exceptionalism is widely believed to flow directly from the Supreme Court's invention, in the late nineteenth century, of the so-called plenary power doctrine. On the standard account, that... |

THE LAW OF GEOGRAPHIC LABOR MARKET INEQUALITY |
172 University of Pennsylvania Law Review 1183 (April, 2024) |
How the law contributes to economic inequality is the subject of renewed attention, but the legal dimensions of geographic inequality have received much less scrutiny. At its core, geographic inequality is a function of how the national income gets spatially divided between capital and labor. While labor's share of national income has generally... |

THE LIMITS OF IMMIGRANT RESILIENCE |
33 Southern California Interdisciplinary Law Journal 509 (Spring, 2024) |
Economists have identified important adaptations that immigrant workers have made to weather economic crises. During times of economic contraction, immigrant workers have moved across industries or geographical locations, downshifted to part-time work, and accepted lower wages to stay employed. Evidence from the Great Recession (2007-2009) shows... |

THE POST-RACIAL DECEPTION OF THE ROBERTS COURT |
77 SMU Law Review 7 (Winter, 2024) |
Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard/UNC (SFFA) is a post-racial deception unmoored from precedent and societal reality. SFFA deceives the polity and signals an all out assault on anti-discrimination law. To preserve its institutional legitimacy, the Roberts Court promotes doctrinal and conceptual distortions--post-racial deceptions of... |

THE RIGHT TO INEQUALITY: CONSERVATIVE POLITICS AND PRECEDENT COLLIDE |
57 Connecticut Law Review 57 (December, 2024) |
The end of affirmative action is the beginning of this story. In Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard (SFFA), the Supreme Court struck a near fatal blow to race-consciousness. Many institutions have since pivoted to race neutral alternatives. This is a natural turn. But one that faces immediate headwinds. The same entities that demanded... |

In The Free White Person Clause of the Naturalization Act of 1790 as Super-Statute, Gabriel Jack Chin and Paul Finkelman argue that racist results in naturalization have arisen despite, or maybe because of, the race neutral interpretation.

THE SUBFEDERAL IN IMMIGRATION POLARIZATION |

The framing of subfederal immigration regulation as a red-blue divide is conventional wisdom. As more states, cities, and counties have engaged in the regulation of immigrants within their jurisdictions, it is not particularly surprising to see deep-red states like Texas enacting laws that restrict the rights of immigrants in their jurisdictions... |
