Meera Deo's book Unequal Profession: Race and Gender in Legal Academia provides the empirical data for what legal academics of color have professed for decades. We knew it was so, and Deo now proves it is so--it being the slights, the biases, the inequity in treatment, the invisibility (or, in my case, hypervisibility) of women of color academics... |

MISDEMEANOR DECLINATION: A THEORY OF INTERNAL SEPARATION OF POWERS |

Millions of times every year, American prosecutors make the all-important decision whether to decline or file formal criminal charges after police have made an arrest. This declination decision determines whether an arrest will become a full-fledged criminal case and thus whether an individual arrestee will become a defendant. It establishes the... |

MULTIPARENTHOOD |
99 New York University Law Review 1242 (October, 2024) |
Family law conventionally treats parenthood as binary: A child has two, and only two, parents. These two parents possess all parental rights and responsibilities, which cannot be shared with others. Their status as parents remains fixed throughout the child's life. Today, legislatures are explicitly challenging this view. Ten jurisdictions now have... |

NEIGHBORS WITHOUT NOTICE: THE UNEQUAL TREATMENT OF TENANTS AND HOMEOWNERS IN LAND USE HEARING PROCEDURES |
59 Harvard Civil Rights-Civil Liberties Law Review 339 (Spring, 2024) |
Recent empirical work has suggested that the people who show up at land use hearings tend to be whiter, wealthier, older, and more likely to be homeowners than the surrounding community. They also are more opposed to new housing construction in their communities. Thus, the views of these groups are amplified and the outsized opposition to new... |

A caseworker makes a home visit to a poor Black family under the guise of protecting the children in the household from suspected neglect. The caseworker investigates.

OUR TROUBLING FAILURES IN SOLVING CRIMES: RETHINKING LEGAL LIMITS ON CRIME INVESTIGATION |

Justice is failing in America. Clearance rates--the rate at which police identify a crime's perpetrator--are tragically low for most crimes, even serious offenses. In 2022, there were around 20,000 criminal homicides in America, with a clearance rate of 52.3 percent. Yet murder has by far the highest clearance rate for serious offenses. Even worse,... |
