94 Temple Law Review 147 (Fall, 2021) |
[T]he problems of racial injustice and economic injustice cannot be solved without a radical redistribution of political and economic power.

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... |

PROHIBITING THE PUNISHMENT OF POVERTY: THE ABOLITION OF WEALTH-BASED CRIMINAL DISENFRANCHISEMENT |
54 University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform 917 (Summer, 2021) |
The majority of U.S. states disenfranchise formerly incarcerated individuals because of their poverty by conditioning re-enfranchisement on the full payment of legal financial obligations.

PROPERTY TAX PRIVATEERS |
41 Virginia Tax Review 89 (Fall, 2021) |
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... |
