IDENTIFYING AND MEASURING EXCESSIVE AND DISCRIMINATORY POLICING |
89 University of Chicago Law Review 441 (March, 2022) |
We describe and apply three empirical approaches to identify superfluous police activity, unjustified racially disparate impacts, and limits to regulatory interventions. First, using cost-benefit analysis, we show that traffic and pedestrian stops in Nashville and New York City disproportionately impacted communities of color without achieving... |

JOHN LEWIS AND THE DURABILITY OF TRANSCENDENT RACE POLITICS |
37 Journal of Law and Religion 55 (January, 2022) |
John Lewis's civil rights activism in the 1960s often obscures the fact that he won elective office as a racially moderate politician. Scholars have long noted the efficacy of using deracialized, or racially transcendent, campaign strategies to get elected, despite normative concerns. These strategies were critical to electing Black governors,... |

When activists use the law to promote social change, how does the branch of law (criminal law, civil law, etc.) matter for movement outcomes?

LEMONADE: A RACIAL JUSTICE REFRAMING OF THE ROBERTS COURT'S CRIMINAL JURISPRUDENCE |
110 California Law Review 681 (June, 2022) |
The saying goes, when life gives you lemons, make lemonade. When it comes to the Supreme Court's criminal jurisprudence and its relationship to racial (in)equity, progressive scholars often focus on the tartness of the lemons. In particular, they have studied how the Court often ignores race in its criminal decisions, a move that in turn reifies a... |
