SHOULD VICTIMS' VIEWS INFLUENCE PROSECUTORS' DECISIONS? |
87 Brooklyn Law Review 1127 (Summer, 2022) |
When prosecutors make discretionary decisions in criminal cases, how should they take account of individual victims' views of the fair and just outcome? No doubt, many crime victims have views, including about whether the person who harmed them should be prosecuted, diverted from the criminal process, or entirely left alone. But little is written... |

THE IMAGINARY IMMIGRATION CLAUSE |
120 Michigan Law Review 1419 (May, 2022) |
For the past century, the Supreme Court has skeptically scrutinized Congress's power to enact healthcare laws and other domestic legislation, insisting that nothing in the Constitution gives Congress a general power to regulate an individual from cradle to grave. Yet when Congress regulates immigrants, the Court has contradictorily assumed that... |

THE MANDATE FOR CRITICAL RACE THEORY IN THIS TIME |
69 UCLA Law Review Discourse 4 (2022) |
A necessary conclusion from Critical Race Theory (CRT) is that Black people cannot look to the law for justice because racism is baked into the law. As a result, the movement for Black liberation cannot rely on the law for just outcomes. This result does not, however, mean that we have to abandon legal interventions altogether. Instead, for those... |

THE UNEXAMINED LAW OF DEPORTATION |

"BY ACCIDENT OF BIRTH": THE BATTLE OVER BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP AFTER UNITED STATES v. WONG KIM ARK |

In theory, birthright citizenship has been well established in U.S. law since 1898, when the Supreme Court held in United States v. Wong Kim Ark that all born on U.S. soil are U.S. citizens. The experience of immigrants and their families over the last 120 years tells a different story, however. This article draws on government records documenting... |

Family separation has the dubious distinction of being the most odious measure amongst Donald Trump's draconian anti-immigrant immigration policies.
