I have a new piece up at @msnownews.bsky.social, on the recent NJ supreme court case banning shaking baby syndrome evidence, using it to discuss both the generally shoddy nature of all forensic evidence but also the legal profession's on-going refusal to confront our current data-driven world.

Such a well-deserved recognition of Professor @maybell.bsky.social ‘s groundbreaking work! Huge congratulations, Dean Romero! 🎉🎉

I am just thrilled to have my new article Third-Party Accommodations officially out @michlawreview.bsky.social! The MLR editors were a pleasure to work with and sharing the same volume as @kovarsky.bsky.social & Daniel Fryer is the cherry on top. Read it: repository.law.umich.edu/mlr/vol124/i...

Professor @buchhandler.bsky.social spoke with @pennlive.com about the evidentiary challenges in prosecuting rape cases. She explained that PA law limits the use of other sexual assault evidence, though it can sometimes be admitted to show intent, plan, or lack of mistake. tinyurl.com/2jcrdw9v

"Legal Moralism in Disguise in Child Custody Cases" is forthcoming in Family Law Quarterly (FLQ). Morality hasn’t disappeared from family courts but has taken on new rhetorical forms with courts judging parents’ choices on moral grounds w/o evidence of harm to child. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

It’s sooooooo good, y’all! If I were a law review editor I’d really want to snap this up for publication.

Had a terrific time presenting my new project "A Reasonable Fear Defense in Failure-to-Protect prosecutions" at #CrimFest. I advocate for legislatures to adopt an affirmative defense for defendants charged with homicide-by-omission when they reasonably feared escalation of harm if they intervened.

Second that!!! It was so great to see you, Ben!

An amazing honor and recognition for a brave survivor. A role model for all rape and sexual assault survivors. Her courageous choice to waive her anonymity has changed the legal landscape for many survivors of gender-based violence. #StopSexualViolence #MeToo www.bbc.com/news/article...

Congratulations, @profnroemer.bsky.social !

Thank you, @SSRN for highlighting my work. Check it out in the link 👇

Excited to share our latest article (with the amazing @jonpenny.bsky.social and @shoreingber.bsky.social) “The Chilling Effects of Dobbs” in Florida Law Review.

SCOTUS to hear oral arguments in the Braidwood v. Becerra case on Monday. Want to know more about Section 1557, the preventive health mandate of the ACA, and how stereotypes re prevention creeped into earlier decisions? Read my article Penalizing Prevention: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

Loved reading this great paper!

Please join us on Friday, April 4 for our Law Review Symposium on addressing gender-based violence. I’ll present my recent WIP, Compassionate Undercharging, forthcoming in @ucdavislaw.bsky.social!

I study IPV and this post is an important reminder that guns are not the only tool that is used by abusers to kill their partners. Strangulation only takes the use of one’s bare hands.

This panel sounds fascinating! 🔥🔥🔥

Thrilled to share that my latest project, Compassionate Undercharging is now forthcoming @UCDavisLRev I argue that prosecutors should refrain from pursuing murder charges against victimized offenders—individuals who committed homicides influenced by domestic abuse—and instead pursue lesser charges.

It’s also the law.

Important comment on a pending amendment to Federal Rule of Evidence 801(d)(1)(A) from Colin Miller, a leading expert on wrongful convictions.

In light of the news that DOJ leadership is forcing career prosecutors to either dismiss the criminal case against Eric Adams or be fired, it seems like a good time to remind everyone that the judge can refuse to dismiss. That rule exists precisely in order to prevent corrupt dismissals.

You’d have to ask my students about *could*, but I’m a con law prof who *does* teach legal writing. The crossover has made me more effective and more thoughtful in both, IMO.

Sounds fascinating! On my ‘to read list’!
