TO HAVE OR HAVE NOT: THE LIMITS OF COMPLY-OR-EXPLAIN GOVERNANCE IN AN AMERICAN EXCHANGE |
72 Emory Law Journal 1485 (2023) |
In 2020, the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations (Nasdaq) proposed a comply-or-explain governance rule to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), aimed at increasing diversity in companies listed on its exchange. The resulting listing rule--approved by the SEC in 2021--was met with a mixed chorus of cheers and... |

UNFULFILLED PROMISES OF THE FINTECH REVOLUTION |
111 California Law Review 801 (June, 2023) |
While financial technology (fintech) has the potential to make financial services more accessible and affordable, hope that technology alone can solve the complex issue of wealth inequality is misplaced. After all, fintech companies are still subject to the same market forces as traditional financial institutions, with little incentive to address... |

UNIVERSAL MANDATORY REPORTING POLICIES SHOW NULL EFFECTS IN A STATEWIDE COLLEGE SAMPLE |
47 Law and Human Behavior 686 (December, 2023) |
Objective: It is widely assumed that universal mandatory reporting policies (MRPs) for sexual misconduct are important for campus safety, but there is little evidence to support these assumptions. Hypotheses: Given the exploratory nature of this research, no formal hypotheses were tested. We did not expect universal MRPs to be significantly... |

The crypto boom and crash of 2020-22 demonstrated that (i) cryptocurrencies with fluctuating values are extremely risky and highly volatile assets and (ii) cryptocurrencies known as stablecoins are vulnerable to systemic runs whenever there are substantial doubts about the adequacy of reserves backing those stablecoins. Crypto firms amplified the... |

WELFARE v. WEALTHFARE: THE ILLUSION OF EQUALITY IN TAX POLICY |
20 Pittsburgh Tax Review 363 (Spring, 2023) |
Tax laws and policies may be perceived as race-neutral because race data is not used to determine tax liability. Similarly, the rate structure may be perceived as progressive because tax rates increase as income increases. Nonetheless, history has demonstrated that tax laws and policies are biased against race and class and the tax system is not... |

WHAT DO LAW PROFESSORS BELIEVE ABOUT LAW AND THE LEGAL ACADEMY? |

Legal scholarship is replete with debates about competing legal theories: textualism or purposivism; formalism or realism; natural law or positivism; prison reform or abolition; universal or culturally specific human rights? Despite voluminous literature about these debates, great uncertainty remains about which views experts endorse. This Article... |

WHAT DO WE DO WITH YOU: HOW THE UNITED STATES USES RACIAL-GENDERED IMMIGRANT LABOR TO INFORM ITS IMMIGRANT INCLUSION-EXCLUSION CYCLE |
92 University of Cincinnati Law Review 206 (10/20/2023) |
The United States has constructed and continues to enforce gender, race, and labor assumptions through the Immigration and Nationality Act's (INA) deportation rules. The United States crafted its immigration laws to be flexible enough to lean on and vilify immigrant labor depending on the nation's labor needs. Modern enforcement of the INA's... |

WHEN PERMANENCY IS PERMANENT SEPARATION: IN THE FAMILY REGULATION SYSTEM, A TEMPORARY REMOVAL FAST TRACKS TERMINATING PARENTS' RIGHTS |
31 Journal of Law & Policy 197 (2023) |
The Adoption and Safe Families Act (ASFA) is a federal law that creates a mandate for states to move to terminate parents' rights if a child has been in foster care for fifteen out of the twenty-two most recent months. The federal government then pays states for each adoption over a set threshold amount, which has resulted in terminating over two... |

47-JUN Champion 5 (June, 2023) |
Seldom do the policies of prosecutors' offices come to light. As defense lawyers in state courts, we hear over counsel table what plea offer is being extended, but seldom is the reasoning behind the plea offer explained. There is claimed discretion by line prosecutors, but we know there is an entire structure of internal controls in place designed... |

WHITE MOCK JURORS' MORAL EMOTIONAL RESPONSES TO VIEWING FEMALE VICTIM PHOTOGRAPHS DEPEND ON THE VICTIM'S RACE |
47 Law and Human Behavior 666 (December, 2023) |
Objective: Jurors often see both premortem photographs of female murder victims before death and postmortem photographs after death. Postmortem photographs are often probative but might prejudicially heighten jurors' other-condemning emotions, such as anger and disgust. Premortem photographs are often not probative and might prejudicially heighten... |

WHITE SUPREMACY FROM THE BENCH |

Judges make important decisions in millions of cases a year across the country. Unlike other institutional players and unlike parties and their attorneys, judges are the only players in our adversarial legal system that are by design ostensibly neutral, impartial, and without bias. Unfortunately, that legal fiction is not fact. Some judges do hold... |

WHITEWASHING THE FOURTH AMENDMENT |
111 Georgetown Law Journal 923 (May, 2023) |
A conventional critical race critique of the Supreme Court and its Fourth Amendment jurisprudence is that it erases race. Scholars argue that by erasing race, the Court has crafted doctrine that is oblivious to people of color's lived experiences with policing in America. This Article complicates this critique by asking whether it is solely the... |

WHOSE CHILD IS THIS? EDUCATION, PROPERTY, AND BELONGING |
123 Columbia Law Review 1201 (June, 2023) |
Previous work suggests that excludability is the main attribute of educational property and residence is the lynchpin of that exclusion. Once a child is non-excludable, the story goes, he should have complete access to the benefits of educational property. This Essay suggests a challenge to the idea that exclusion is the main attribute of... |

The opinion appears to tell two stories. One elevates white gun holders through three white paradigms: the colonial revolutionary, the frontiersman, and the hunter. The second... |

Under slavery, criminal law explicitly provided a means to ensure White dominion over Blacks and require Black submission to White authority.

This is especially true for antisocial and psychopathic personality disorder labels. Because there are common mechanisms underlying both processes, it... |
