134 Yale Law Journal Forum 100 (2024-2025) |
November 12, 2024 abstract. The Roberts Court has methodically expanded the scope of Second Amendment rights. But in its first Second Amendment case involving a criminal defendant, United States v.

BEYOND STATUTORY LOOPHOLES, QUALIFIED IMMUNITY, AND INTERNAL INVESTIGATIONS: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF POLICE ACCOUNTABILITY IN THE UNITED STATES AND THE UNITED KINGDOM |
50 Brooklyn Journal of International Law 301 (2025) |
Since its inception, policing in the United States has been riddled with brutality, dysfunction, and public distrust. Public skepticism of the police force is not a new phenomenon as the origins of modern policing trace back to the Slave Patrol of the 1700s. In May 2020, tensions between the public and the police escalated when Derek Chauvin, a... |

BEYOND THE PERPETRATOR PERSPECTIVE ON GOLDEN GHETTOS: DEFENDING FAIR HOUSING REVISIONISM WITH CRITICAL EYES |
77 Stanford Law Review 925 (April, 2025) |
Abstract. Most fair housing advocates maintain that integration is a core aim of the federal Fair Housing Act of 1968 (FHA). They contend that to achieve that integration, affordable housing must be sited in predominantly white, affluent areas. These advocates often cite legislative sponsors such as Senator Edmund Muskie, who declared that the aim... |

BICYCLES, BLOODY KNIVES, AND BLACK BOYS |
105 Massachusetts Law Review 96 (March, 2025) |
In 2020, the Supreme Judicial Court (SJC) called upon the bar to eliminate racial bias in Massachusetts' criminal legal system. But police still disproportionately harass Black Bostonians and, in 2023, even the SJC failed to answer its own charge when it decided Commonwealth v. Robinson-Van Rader. True, and to the court's credit, Robinson-Van Rader... |

BURDENS OF PROOF IN CRIMINAL PROCEDURE |

Even though allocations of the burden of proof often drive litigation outcomes, the Court has... |

For modern progressives, sex criminalization is a conundrum. On the one hand, all criminalization necessarily occurs within our racialized policing and prison system--a system that millions of people protested in 2020. At the present time, liberals are sounding the alarm at the Republican campaign to regulate away the post-sexual revolution liberal... |

CHALLENGING LEGACY DISCRIMINATION: THE PERSISTENCE OF SCHOOL PUSHOUT AS RACIAL SUBORDINATION |
105 Boston University Law Review 641 (March, 2025) |

This Article shows that, in reality, it originated in resistance to school desegregation. The initial rise in exclusionary school discipline in the United States began in the late 1960s, in... |

While 42 U.S.C. § 1983 is one of the most commonly utilized statutes in federal civil litigation, federal prosecutors hardly afford the statute's criminal counterpart, 18 U.S.C. § 242, the same attention. Since the volume of federal rights-vindicating cases under Section 1983 far outstrips that under Section 242, the people are largely left to... |

Lawyers and academics frequently cooperate to shape public policy and outcomes in specific cases, including in the area of racial justice.
