SOMETHING ROTS IN LAW ENFORCEMENT AND IT'S THE SEARCH WARRANT: THE BREONNA TAYLOR CASE |
102 Boston University Law Review 1 (February, 2022) |
When police rammed the door of Breonna Taylor's home and shot her five times in a hail of thirty-two bullets, they lacked legal justification for being there. The affidavit supporting the warrant was perjurious, stale, vague, and lacking in particularity. The killing of Breonna Taylor, however, is not just a story about the illegality of the... |

46 New York University Review of Law and Social Change 224 (2022) |
Police unions are a powerful obstacle to reform and abolition movements alike. This article tracks the (re)emergence of a political strategy targeting police unions as a site of police reform and abolition amid the summer 2020 uprising.

THE CASE AGAINST SUMMARY EVICTION PROCEEDINGS: PROCESS AS RACISM AND OPPRESSION |
53 Seton Hall Law Review 1 (2022) |
The Right to counsel in evictions helps level the playing field, but it's time to revise the rules of the game. Civil government, so far as it is instituted for the security of property, is in reality instituted for the defense of the rich against the poor, or of those who have some property against those who have none at all. --Adam Smith... |

THE DIVERSITY OFFICER: POLICE OFFICERS' AND BLACK WOMEN CIVILIANS' EPISTEMOLOGIES OF RACE AND RACISM IN POLICING |
56 Law and Society Review 477 (September, 2022) |
Diversifying police forces has been suggested to improve police-minority relations amidst national uprisings against police violence. Yet, little research investigates how police and black civilians--two groups invoked in discourse on police-minority relations--understand the function of diversity interventions. We draw on 100 in-depth... |

THE ENFORCED DISAPPEARANCE OF MIGRANTS |
40 Boston University International Law Journal 133 (Spring, 2022) |
The international legal prohibition of enforced disappearances first developed in the context of authoritarianism. In particular, throughout the second half of the 20th century, several Latin American governments used state agents and non-state actors to disappear political opponents and other identity groups. Today, advocates and scholars are... |

THE PLACE OF THE PROSECUTOR IN ABOLITIONIST PRAXIS |
69 UCLA Law Review 164 (March, 2022) |
Progressive prosecutors have been widely hailed as the solution to mass incarceration. This Article argues, to the contrary, that the legal arm of law enforcement can never be the full answer to its problems. While scholars critique police and call to defund and dismantle them, they overlook prosecutors. Building on the work of abolitionist... |

Tell me how you die and I will tell you who you are. [I]n our time all politics is about real estate; and this from the loftiest statecraft to the most petty maneuvering around local advantage. In May 2020, after several bleak months in which Covid-19 took the lives of thousands of New York City's most vulnerable residents, a vigil was held in... |

WARRANT NULLIFICATION |
124 West Virginia Law Review 479 (Winter, 2022) |
Police officers execute thousands of search warrants in the United States every year, often looking for drugs in people's homes. Many search warrants are executed by militarized dynamic entry teams who violently conduct raids late at night with little or no warning, guns drawn. These raids have killed and injured hundreds of people... |

George Floyd couldn't breathe. We can't either. We live in fear. Fear of walking outside. Wearing a hoodie. Going for a jog. Sleeping in our own home. Existing. Every day, a new hashtag. Every hour, a new injustice. Every second, more pain. We don't deserve to live like this--and we continue to fight until white supremacy no longer permeates every... |

A minimal, reasonably uncontroversial demand of any legal system is that it should stabilize a polity against both the chance hazards of ordinary violence and sudden blows of extraordinary, destabilizing misfortune. Law in the contemporary United States, though, has not so far abated the lethal toll of violent crime, the serial mass shootings of... |

WHITE SUPREMACY, POLICE BRUTALITY, AND FAMILY SEPARATION: PREVENTING CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY WITHIN THE UNITED STATES |
2022 University of Illinois Law Review 1475 (2022) |
The United States tends to treat crimes against humanity as a danger that exists only in authoritarian or war-torn states, but in fact, there is a real risk of crimes against humanity occurring within the United States. This risk is illustrated by well-known events such as systemic police brutality against Black Americans, the federal family... |
