COOPTING PRIVACY |
105 Boston University Law Review 765 (April, 2025) |
Privacy law in the United States is sectoral in nature. And at every turn, it privileges the police. On the front end, privacy statutes uniformly exempt law enforcement agencies, allowing police to gather private information when access is denied to other government and private actors. And on the back end, public records laws contain myriad privacy... |

58 University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform 317 (Winter, 2025) |
The first step in any civil lawsuit, long before a court will contemplate awarding relief, is initiating the court matter: a plaintiff must always start by effectively pleading their case. The court system rests upon the presumption that an attorney will create and file the requisite court documents--including complaints, answers, and motions--on... |

CRIMINAL COURT'S DISABILITY |
125 Columbia Law Review 1773 (October, 2025) |
Do criminal courts meaningfully accommodate psychiatric disability? A review of competency proceedings across the United States suggests not. In competency to stand trial (CST) proceedings, criminal courts offer a narrow vision of psychiatric disability that excludes many defendants. Ultimately, the institutional context of criminal court... |

In every state and the District of Columbia, an individual who owes a debt to the state can lose their license to work. Without the ability to make a living, it is much harder to pay off debt. Although using occupational license restrictions as a debt collection tool appears nonsensical, it has never before been the subject of scholarly debate.... |

In New York City, the gang member is feared, vilified, and romanticized.
