BANKRUPTCY BASICS: WHAT THE U.S. CAN LEARN FROM THE U.K. FILING PROCESSES |
32 Duke Journal of Comparative & International Law 441 (Spring, 2022) |
Although filing for bankruptcy is the primary form of economic relief for U.S. consumers in financial distress, pro se debtors lack access to the consumer bankruptcy system. An individual debtor faces many challenges when filing for bankruptcy without an attorney, since the debtor must rely on free access to the information provided by the U.S.... |

53 Loyola University Chicago Law Journal 683 (Summer, 2022) |
State and local governments raise revenue in three primary ways: property, sales, and income taxes. Property and sales taxes tend to impose a higher burden on low-income households. To ensure the fairness and progressivity of their overall revenue system, states need their income tax to be sufficiently progressive. Four states face an apparently... |

COLORBLIND TAX ENFORCEMENT |
97 New York University Law Review 1 (April, 2022) |
The United States Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has repeatedly taken the position that because the IRS does not ask taxpayers to identify their race or ethnicity on submitted tax returns, IRS enforcement actions are not affected by taxpayers' race or ethnicity. This claim, which I call colorblind tax enforcement, has been made by multiple IRS... |

CRITICAL TAX THEORY: COMBATTING RACIAL AND INCOME INEQUALITY IN AMERICA |

FILING WHILE BLACK: THE CASUAL RACISM OF THE TAX LAW |
2022 Utah Law Review 801 (2022) |
The tax law's race-blind approach produces bad tax policy. This Essay uses three very different examples to show how failing to openly and honestly address race generates bias, and how devasting the results can be. Ignoring race does not solve problems; it creates them. ProPublica has shown, for example, that because of the perils of filing income... |

IMPOVERISHMENT BY TAXATION |
170 University of Pennsylvania Law Review 1451 (June, 2022) |
Viewed in the aggregate, the U.S. fiscal system is progressive, reduces inequality, and cuts poverty. The system improves on market outcomes by transferring income from rich to poor. Yet this bird's eye view rings hollow on the ground, where millions of taxpayers across the United States are made poor or poorer by paying their state and federal... |
