Stephen Macedo After the Backlash: Populism and the Politics and Ethics of Migration 14 Law & Ethics of Human Rights 153 (November, 2020) Abstract: In the U.S., and elsewhere, populism has been democracy's way of shaking elites up. We can view populism in part as a revolt of the losers, or perceived losers, of globalization. Yet elites have often paid too little heed to the domestic distributive impact of high immigration and globalized trade. Immigration and globalization are also... 2020

Mehwish Shaukat American Muslim Women: Who We Are and What We Demand from Feminist Jurisprudence 31 Hastings Women's Law Journal 155 (Summer, 2020) It is time for feminist jurisprudence to recognize American Muslim women (AMW) as a distinct and agentic group.

Monica C. Bell Anti-segregation Policing 95 New York University Law Review 650 (June, 2020) Conversations about police reform in lawmaking and legal scholarship typically take a narrow view of the multiple, complex roles that policing plays in American society, focusing primarily on their techniques of crime control.

Richard Delgado , Jean Stefancic Borders by Consent: a Proposal for Reducing Two Kinds of Violence in Immigration Practice 52 Arizona State Law Journal 337 (Summer, 2020) We describe a new consensual theory of borders and immigration that reverses Peter Schuck's and Rogers Smith's notion of citizenship by consent and posits that borders are legitimate--and make sense--only if they are products of consent on the part of both countries on opposite sides of them. Our approach, in turn, leads to differential borders... 2020
