COMBATING THE RACIAL WEALTH GAP: A GOVERNMENT AND CORPORATE-CENTRIC APPROACH |
19 University of Saint Thomas Law Journal 180 (Spring, 2023) |
This paper calls attention to the ever-present racial wealth gap in America and illuminates how capitalism, despite its ardent proponents, continues to exacerbate that gap. On its face, the supposed free market that drives America's capitalistic society is race-neutral. An ever-changing shift of supply and demand drives the market. Although... |

98 Tulane Law Review 1 (November, 2023) |
In 2022, Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization overturned both Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey thereby giving the states carte blanche to do as they wish regarding abortion access.

In late 2018, a jury in Missouri awarded twenty-two plaintiffs $4.69 billion after they allegedly developed ovarian cancer from Johnson's Baby Powder.

FAKE NEWS AND THE TAX LAW |
80 Washington and Lee Law Review 803 (Spring, 2023) |
The public misunderstands many aspects of the tax system. For example, people frequently misunderstand how marginal tax rates work, misperceive their own average tax rates, and believe they benefit from tax deductions for which they are ineligible. Such confusion is understandable given the complexity of our tax laws. Unfortunately, research... |

INTERNATIONAL TAX REFORM: WHO GETS A SEAT AT THE TABLE? |
44 University of Pennsylvania Journal of International Law 1007 (Summer, 2023) |
The international tax framework relies on early-twentieth-century principles and favors the interests of the Global North, which created it. It bases taxing rights on a corporation's physical presence and mostly allocates profits to the country of residence. Moreover, it has been slow to adapt to modern business practices. In the digital economy,... |

Courts have long struggled to bridge the access-to-justice gap associated with in-person hearings, which makes the recent adoption of online legal proceedings potentially beneficial.

Taxpayers who take advantage of the Code's exclusions, deductions, and preferential rates implicitly vote on the shape of American society.

POWER TO THE PEOPLE: HOW WORKERS CAN FIGHT TAX INEQUITY |
49 Human Rights 38 (October, 2023) |
One of the most glaring problems facing workers today is tax inequity. The preferential treatment of capital gains (income from wealth) over wage income in both federal and state tax codes is a prime example. The wealthy's income has vastly risen over the past few decades, while workers have fared much worse by comparison. While tax policy alone... |

PUNISHMENT EXTERNALITIES AND THE PRISON TAX |
111 California Law Review 683 (June, 2023) |
Punishment as a social institution has failed to live up to the quixotic ideals of theory and has descended into the practice of mass incarceration, which is one of the defining failures of modern times. Scholars have traditionally studied punishment and incarceration as parts of a social transaction between the criminal offender, whose crime... |
