31 Psychology, Public Policy, and Law 295 (August, 2025) |
The strategic use of evidence (SUE) technique is effective in enhancing the differences between innocent and guilty mock suspects.

We examined whether Black and White innocent... |

EQUALITY AND PROTECTION: THE FORGOTTEN MEANING OF THE FOURTEENTH AMENDMENT |
102 Denver Law Review 897 (Summer, 2025) |
At the heart of the Fourteenth Amendment's Equal Protection Clause are two fundamental principles: equality and protection. Tragically, the Supreme Court has read one of these two principles--protection--out of our foundational charter. While the Justices repeatedly invoke the textual promise of equal protection, their precedent turns a blind eye... |
