Sungjoon Cho WHY DO NATIONS OBEY CUSTOM? 56 New York University Journal of International Law & Politics 475 (Winter, 2024) Why do nations obey custom?

Scott Aronin ADDRESSING THE DELIBERATIVE DEFICIT: A PROPOSAL TO IMPROVE THE BALLOT-INITIATIVE PROCESS 34 Stanford Law and Policy Review 181 (2023) The ballot initiative, a form of direct democracy practiced across the country, is often held up as a model of implementing the people's will and, therefore, achieving democracy's most fundamental aim.

Amy F. Kimpel ALIENATING CRIMINAL PROCEDURE 37 Georgetown Immigration Law Journal 237 (Winter, 2023) The paradigmatic federal criminal case is not the prosecution of Elizabeth Holmes or John Gotti, but rather that of a poor immigrant of color for a low-level border offense.

Daniel I. Morales AN IMMIGRATION LAW FOR ABOLITIONISTS (AND REACTIONARIES) 13 UC Irvine Law Review 1291 (November, 2023) Immigration law gets most things wrong and satisfies no one--not immigrants, not moderates, not restrictionists, and not abolitionists (the #AbolishICE crowd).
