I decided to write about at each & every one of the 32 states with supreme court elections this year. Why? On abortion, redistricting, death penalty, & more, these institutions & their elections remain so critical. So here's everything you need to know. NEW from me:

NEW: State judicial selection is complicated! Zoe Merriman and I break down how judges are selected across the country, and address FAQs about impeachment, the role of political parties, and more. statecourtreport.org/our-work/ana...

My latest Article--"Proportional Representation on the Federal Appellate Courts"--has found a home at the Tennessee Law Review! In it, I argue that our long-standing practice of "state representation" on the federal appellate courts doesn't allocate judges according to any identifiable formula,

Interested in a state supreme court clerkship? @statecourtreport.org has a database featuring clerkship opportunities from 25 states and more than 80 justices. We hope it's a good starting point for applicants! statecourtreport.org/state-judici...

I never use AI to write my law review articles. I earn every rejection on my own 😊

LAW STUDENTS & RECENT GRADS: Interested in a state supreme court clerkship? Join us on March 19 at 3pm ET for a virtual event where you can hear from justices across the country about the application process and what it's like to clerk. Register below! www.brennancenter.org/events/what-...

The law review submission process isn’t know for being a joyride, but I have to say, having to pony up your own $$$ to submit as a non-affiliated author makes not hearing back markedly more unpleasant.

Stopping work on the Gateway Tunnel Project is catastrophic for commuters, workers, and our economy. The Trump Admin’s political games are illegal and hurt our bottom line. Proud to stand with Governor Mikie Sherrill, @newyorkstateag.bsky.social, and Governor Kathy Hochul to fight for you.

State supreme court hiring info can be hard to track down, so I’m grateful to the @brennancenter.org and @statecourtreport.org for featuring this post! Thankful as well for the many friends who gave me the inside scoop on their state’s practices,

My latest is out in the #GeorgiaLawReview! “A Governor’s Duty to Ask” looks at states where the governor has the power to request advisory opinions from the state supreme court, and argues that a healthy respect for the state’s separation of powers requires governors to exercise that authority.

I’m pleased that my Georgia Law Review article is now out! I did a content analysis of every state constitutional amendment from 1960 to the present that altered any criminal procedure protection—which revealed how few states even *tried* to ratify the Warren Court’s criminal procedure holdings.

My article, "Pluralism in State Constitutional Law," is now published with the Georgia Law Review! It explores different ways state courts interpret state constitutions and variations in how explicit courts are regarding this interpretive pluralism! georgialawreview.org/wp-content/u...

This is the most accurate depiction of the Midwest to date. Wichita has always felt like the last Midwest city while also being the first plains city.

Last year was a blast. The conversation was great, the feedback was generous, and @yeargain.bsky.social was a consummate host.

My latest scholarship roundup up for @statecourtreport.org covers interesting new work on state constitutions, state courts, federalism, and more. (Sorry to report that it’s the back-to-school edition!) statecourtreport.org/our-work/ana...

Hey Bluesky! Little late to the joining game, but excited to be here. I'm an appellate attorney with an interest in legal scholarship, and my writing focuses on state supreme courts, state constitutions, and judicial selection.
