29 Psychology, Public Policy, and Law 182 (May, 2023) |
Hate crime legislation is a divisive issue in America. While many Americans agree that hate crime laws are necessary, roughly one-third of Americans do not support such legislation.

PROCESS AS SUFFERING: HOW U.S. IMMIGRATION COURT PROCESS AND CULTURE PREVENT SUBSTANTIVE JUSTICE |
86 Albany Law Review 471 (2022-2023) |
In this article, we argue that there is a form of double punishment unique to the immigration court system that attorneys and their noncitizen clients must navigate throughout changing political contexts.

RACE-ING ANTITRUST |
121 Michigan Law Review 523 (February, 2023) |
Antitrust law has a race problem. To spot an antitrust violation, courts inquire into whether an act has degraded consumer welfare. Since anticompetitive practices are often assumed to enhance consumer welfare, antitrust offenses are rarely found. Key to this framework is that antitrust treats all consumers monolithically; that consumers are... |

ROBERTS'S REVISIONS: A NARRATOLOGICAL READING OF THE AFFIRMATIVE ACTION CASES |

In law, one of the stories told by some scholars is that legal opinions are not stories. The story goes: legal opinions are mere recitations of facts and legal principles applied to those facts; they are the end result of a contest between opposing sides that have brought the parties to an objective truth through a lawsuit. In these scholars' eyes,... |

In the 1850s, a slave woman named Celia was raped by her owner and forced to bear his children. The same situation is playing out in present-day abortion prohibition states thanks to the Supreme Court's decision in Dobbs v. Jackson... |
