110 California Law Review 1597 (October, 2022) |

LEMONADE: A RACIAL JUSTICE REFRAMING OF THE ROBERTS COURT'S CRIMINAL JURISPRUDENCE |
110 California Law Review 681 (June, 2022) |
The saying goes, when life gives you lemons, make lemonade. When it comes to the Supreme Court's criminal jurisprudence and its relationship to racial (in)equity, progressive scholars often focus on the tartness of the lemons. In particular, they have studied how the Court often ignores race in its criminal decisions, a move that in turn reifies a... |

LOVE IN THE TIME OF ICE: HOW PARENTS WITHOUT PAPERS ARE STRIPPED OF THE RIGHT TO RAISE THEIR CHILDREN IN A SAFE AND HEALTHY ENVIRONMENT |
36 Georgetown Immigration Law Journal 875 (Spring, 2022) |
This Article analyzes narratives around immigrant reproduction and traces the construction of immigrants as bad and unfit parents. It seeks to connect these perceptions, which are driven by nativist and racist beliefs, to the formulation of laws and policies that are designed to unleash violence and fear on undocumented people and their families.... |

MANUFACTURING STATELESSNESS |
116 American Journal of International Law 237 (April, 2022) |
Having recently emerged from its unenviable status as the runt of international law, the phenomenon of statelessness nonetheless eludes traditional international legal instruments. Confronted with questions of nationality that typically fall within the domain of sovereignty, international and regional human rights bodies struggle to rein in the... |

MARY LOU GRAVES, NOLEN BREEDLOVE, AND THE NINETEENTH AMENDMENT |
20 Georgetown Journal of Law & Public Policy 59 (Winter, 2022) |
This close examination of two cases is part of a larger ongoing project to provide a distinct account of the Nineteenth Amendment. In 1921, the Alabama Supreme Court held the Nineteenth Amendment required that any poll tax be imposed equally on men and women. Sixteen years later, the Supreme Court disagreed. Juxtaposing these two cases, and telling... |

NONPROFIT BOARD COMPOSITION |
83 Ohio State Law Journal 357 (2022) |
This Article addresses a critical gap in the literature and current debates about the composition of nonprofit boards. The law of fiduciary duties and nonprofit governance best practices do not provide sufficient guidance on how to compose boards to empower the communities they serve. And even as the corporate sector is seizing on current important... |

ON LENITY: WHAT JUSTICE GORSUCH DIDN'T SAY |
108 Virginia Law Review 1289 (September, 2022) |
Facially neutral doctrines create racially disparate outcomes. Increasingly, legal academia and mainstream commentators recognize that this is by design. The rise of this colorblind racism in Supreme Court jurisprudence parallels the rise of the War on Drugs as a political response to the Civil Rights Movement. But, to date, no member of the... |

ON TERRORISTS AND FREEDOM FIGHTERS |
136 Harvard Law Review Forum 1 (20-Oct-22) |
The Russian invasion of Ukraine in late March of 2022 ushered in a new chapter of war on the European continent. For a Russian regime intent on actualizing its imperial vison and an accosted Ukranian community fighting in the name of self-determination, this war is far more than a theater of war. Ukraine evolved into real-time drama for racial... |

OPTIONAL LEGISLATION |
107 Minnesota Law Review 297 (November, 2022) |
Not since the nineteenth century has partisanship been this intense. The only thing that Democrats and Republicans can agree upon, it seems, is that Washington is broken. Indeed, for years now, Congress has been unable to pass legislation on issues that pose serious risk to the nation and on which there is broad consensus for a federal solution... |

POLICING THE POLITY |
131 Yale Law Journal 1794 (April, 2022) |
The era of Chinese Exclusion left a legacy of race-based deportation. Yet it also had an impact that reached well beyond removal. In a seminal decision, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld a law that required people of Chinese descent living in the United States to display a certificate of residence on demand or risk arrest, detention, and possible... |

There exists a substantial body of literature on racism and brutality in policing, police reform and abolition, the militarization of the police, and the relationship of the police to the State and its citizenry.

RACE TO PROPERTY: RACIAL DISTORTIONS OF PROPERTY LAW, 1634 TO TODAY |
64 Arizona Law Review 619 (Fall, 2022) |
Race shaped property law for everyone in the United States, and we are all the poorer for it. This transformation began in the colonial era, when demands for Indian land annexation and a slave-based economy created new legal innovations in recording, foreclosure, and commodification of property. It continued in the antebellum era, when these same... |

Although over a decade has passed since Padilla, astonishingly little is known about how... |
