In the complicated and technical world of federal drug policy, courts are presented with an ambiguity that requires the court to decide: should a technical definition from other legislation in the area be applied, or should it instead be the dictionary definition supplied by Merriam-Webster?

MASS SURVEILLANCE AS RACIALIZED CONTROL |
71 UCLA Law Review 478 (July, 2024) |
Incarceration has become the norm for those who assert their innocence. A staggering number of defendants are incarcerated prior to the adjudication of their cases--a reality that has become a central paradox of an American criminal justice system which holds axiomatic the presumption of innocence. Recent attempts to address pretrial mass... |

NEIGHBORS WITHOUT NOTICE: THE UNEQUAL TREATMENT OF TENANTS AND HOMEOWNERS IN LAND USE HEARING PROCEDURES |
59 Harvard Civil Rights-Civil Liberties Law Review 339 (Spring, 2024) |
Recent empirical work has suggested that the people who show up at land use hearings tend to be whiter, wealthier, older, and more likely to be homeowners than the surrounding community. They also are more opposed to new housing construction in their communities. Thus, the views of these groups are amplified and the outsized opposition to new... |
