CONSUMER BANKRUPTCY AND RACE: CURRENT CONCERNS AND A PROPOSED SOLUTION |
33 Loyola Consumer Law Review 328 (2021) |
A series of studies have identified a persistent feature of our consumer bankruptcy system: a disproportionate number of African American debtors choose to file Chapter 13 bankruptcy instead of Chapter 7. This would not be a problem if other attributes of African American debtors meant that Chapter 13 was actually the better choice. But for reasons... |

DYNAMIC PROPERTY TAXES AND RACIAL GENTRIFICATION |
96 Notre Dame Law Review 1517 (March, 2021) |
Many jurisdictions determine real property taxes based on a combination of current market values and the recent history of market values, introducing a dynamic aspect to property taxes.

The link between debt inequality and the wealth gap, however, remains less thoroughly explored, particularly in light of new credit products and debt-like... |

MAY THE ODDS BE EVER IN YOUR FAVOR: HOW THE TAX CUTS AND JOBS ACT FORTIFIED THE GREAT WEALTH DIVIDE |

Have Americans become so desensitized to inequality that we have morphed into a state of dystopia, and vast inequalities have become normalized?

POLITICAL JUSTICE AND TAX POLICY: THE SOCIAL WELFARE ORGANIZATION CASE |
8 Texas A&M Law Review 271 (Winter, 2021) |
In addition to valuing whether a tax policy is equitable, efficient, and administrable, I argue we should ask if a tax policy is politically just. Others have made a similar case for valuing political justice as democracy in implementing just tax policy. I join that call and highlight why it matters in one arena--tax exemption. I also further that... |

PROPERTY TAX PRIVATEERS |

Many states permit local governments to sell third parties the right to collect overdue property taxes, together with interest and fees. We call these third-party investors property tax privateers, because they are empowered to pursue claims that are essentially the state's, in search of a sizable bounty. Privateers are often anonymous LLCs with... |
