89 University of Chicago Law Review 323 (March, 2022) |

43 Cardozo Law Review 1441 (April, 2022) |
Forty-five states have adopted express preemption statutes curtailing or entirely prohibiting local gun regulation, and several jurisdictions now threaten localities with penalties for violating such restrictions.

THE HISTORY WARS AND PROPERTY LAW: CONQUEST AND SLAVERY AS FOUNDATIONAL TO THE FIELD |
131 Yale Law Journal 1062 (February, 2022) |
This Article addresses the stakes of the ongoing fight over competing versions of U.S. history for our understanding of law, with a special focus on property law.

The intermediary immunity created by Section 230 probably protects claims based on the non-legal harms of hate speech and misinformation as well as a European-style proportionality system of content moderation better than a more legalized intermediary liability regime would.

On July 14, 2018, Harith Augustus, a 37-year-old Black man, was walking home from his work at a barbershop on the Southside of Chicago when he was stopped by a police officer.

THE LAW AND ECONOMICS OF ANIMUS |
89 University of Chicago Law Review 581 (May, 2022) |
People sometimes want to harm other people. This truism points to a blind spot in law and economics scholarship, which generally assumes that people are indifferent to the effects of their actions on other people. Diverse areas of the law, such as hate-crime legislation and constitutional equal protection doctrine, reside in this blind spot because... |

THE MODERN SECOND AMENDMENT: A PROGRESSIVE APPROACH TO LIMITING INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS UNDER THE SECOND AMENDMENT |
31 Southern California Interdisciplinary Law Journal 403 (Winter, 2022) |
When a country with less than five percent of the world's population has nearly half of the world's privately owned guns and makes up nearly a third of the world's mass shootings, it's time to stop saying guns make us safer.

THE PLACE OF THE PROSECUTOR IN ABOLITIONIST PRAXIS |
69 UCLA Law Review 164 (March, 2022) |
Progressive prosecutors have been widely hailed as the solution to mass incarceration. This Article argues, to the contrary, that the legal arm of law enforcement can never be the full answer to its problems. While scholars critique police and call to defund and dismantle them, they overlook prosecutors. Building on the work of abolitionist... |

The right to join in peaceful assembly and petition is critical to an effective democracy and is at the core of the First Amendment. The assault of peaceful protestors in the pursuit of racial justice is not a new phenomenon, and legislators at the federal and state levels have drafted anti-riot provisions as a measure to target protestors they... |

THE RACIAL INJUSTICE AND POLITICAL PROCESS FAILURE OF PROSECUTORIAL MALAPPORTIONMENT |
97 New York University Law Review 402 (April, 2022) |
District attorneys are responsible for the vast majority of criminal prosecutions in the United States, and most of them are elected by the public from prosecutorial districts.

Tell me how you die and I will tell you who you are. [I]n our time all politics is about real estate; and this from the loftiest statecraft to the most petty maneuvering around local advantage.

THE RIGHT TO COUNSEL IN A NEOLIBERAL AGE |

Legal scholarship tends to obscure how changes in criminal process relate to broader changes in the political and economic terrain. This Article offers a modest corrective to this tendency. By studying the U.S. Supreme Court's right to counsel jurisprudence, as it has developed since the mid-70s, I show the pervasive impact of the concurrent rise... |

THE RISE AND FALL AND RISE AGAIN OF INFORMAL JUSTICE AND THE DEATH OF ADR |
54 Connecticut Law Review 197 (March, 2022) |
Today, the field of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) is often conceptualized and taught as an apolitical, institutional practice designed to enhance the effective and efficient settlement of legal disputes. But this was not always the case. In the 1970s, scholars imagined mediation as a technique of social and political transformation: a... |

As the Supreme Court sits ready to curtail both abortion rights and gun control laws in its current term, this Note seeks to retheorize the nexus between the constitutional claims to abortion and individual gun ownership. It departs from existing theories, which largely frame the legal arguments or bases of the two rights as parallel, by proposing... |
