70 UCLA Law Review 2 (June, 2023) |
The proliferation and use of technology by law enforcement is rooted in the hope that technological tools can improve policing. Improvement, however, is relative.

THE PRIVATE SUPPRESSION OF CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS |

On September 1, 2021, Texas's abortion ban, S.B. 8, went into effect even as the constitutional right to an abortion was under siege at the Supreme Court. It not only prohibited almost all abortions after six weeks but also allowed any private party to sue those who, knowingly or unwittingly, aid or abet such procedures. Texas's law has been... |

THE STRUCTURAL HARMS OF PROVIDING MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES THROUGH THE BIPARTISAN SAFER COMMUNITIES ACT |
102 Nebraska Law Review 52 (2023) |
Many have proclaimed that the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act is the most sweeping gun control legislation to be passed in decades. However, the bill is not primarily a gun control bill--instead, much of the Act seeks to improve mental health services in hopes of preventing gun violence. Such a move is not rooted in established evidence, which... |

Title IX, a law that mandates equality, operates unequally. Title IX prohibits sex discrimination of all forms, including sexual harassment, in public schools. When students assert Title IX sexual harassment claims, one standard exists for determining Title IX's violation. The Supreme Court held that schools violate Title IX when they respond with... |

TWO SIDES TO THE SAME COIN: HOW TENANTS AND ATTORNEYS CAN COMBINE TO WIN HOUSING JUSTICE FOR ALL |
32 Journal of Affordable Housing & Community Development Law 281 (2023) |
One of the most destabilizing events in a person's life is coming home to find a Warrant of Eviction posted on the door. That notice indicates that the tenant's family has only days to be out of their home if they want to avoid being forced out by the eviction marshal. This is an increasing reality for low-income tenants, particularly tenants of... |

WHEN PERMANENCY IS PERMANENT SEPARATION: IN THE FAMILY REGULATION SYSTEM, A TEMPORARY REMOVAL FAST TRACKS TERMINATING PARENTS' RIGHTS |

The Adoption and Safe Families Act (ASFA) is a federal law that creates a mandate for states to move to terminate parents' rights if a child has been in foster care for fifteen out of the twenty-two most recent months. The federal government then pays states for each adoption over a set threshold amount, which has resulted in terminating over two... |

Families, perhaps the most intimate of all social arrangements, depend upon government safety net guarantees to families in need. But the norm of State support to families is a condition that... |
