134 Yale Law Journal 1763 (March, 2025) |
The war on drugs is widely viewed as a policy failure. Despite massive government intrusions on personal liberty, drug addiction, overdoses, and drug-related violence have only increased since the war was declared in 1971. David Pozen's new book, The Constitution of the War on Drugs, reveals a constitutional failure as well. Pozen chronicles a host... |

RACE, UNCONSCIONABILITY, AND CONTRACTUAL EQUALITY |
60 Harvard Civil Rights-Civil Liberties Law Review 159 (Winter, 2025) |
Racially discriminatory contracts should be paradigmatically unconscionable in contract law. The unconscionability doctrine permits a court to refuse to enforce an unfair contract. Classically interpreted, the doctrine narrowly conceptualizes an unfair contract as an extremely nonstandard contract obtained by manipulating or circumventing the... |

Three Strikes laws sit at the fulcrum of racial disparities and mass incarceration. Despite clarity across decades that such laws have served to disproportionately punish Black Americans, legislatures have blessed them, courts permit them, prosecutors charge them, and juries convict based on them.
