CIVIL RIGHTS, CRIMINAL PUNISHMENTS: 18 U.S.C. § 242 AND THE FAILURE OF FEDERAL RIGHTS ENFORCEMENT |
58 Columbia Journal of Law and Social Problems 731 (2025) |
While 42 U.S.C. § 1983 is one of the most commonly utilized statutes in federal civil litigation, federal prosecutors hardly afford the statute's criminal counterpart, 18 U.S.C. § 242, the same attention. Since the volume of federal rights-vindicating cases under Section 1983 far outstrips that under Section 242, the people are largely left to... |

COMPENSATING REGULATORY LOSERS |
2025 University of Illinois Law Review 555 (2025) |
Every change in government regulation creates benefits and burdens that fall unequally on the population.

105 Boston University Law Review 1731 (October, 2025) |
Studies consistently show that prosecutors disproportionately use peremptory challenges to strike people of color from juries.
