Brown on the Rise, Risk, and Necessity of Criminal Law Impunity
Darryl K. Brown (University of Virginia School of Law) has posted The Rise, Risk, and Necessity of Criminal Law Impunity on SSRN. Here is the abstract: Despite criminal law’s record of excessive enforcement and mass incarceration, impunity—exemption for the guilty from accountability—remains a critical and routine feature of criminal law administration. All three branches dispense impunity, but foremost are the executive powers of pardons and prosecutorial discretion.

Michael Francus (University of Virginia; University of Notre Dame - Notre Dame Law School) has posted Representing the Mass in Mass Tort Bankruptcy (63 pages) on SSRN. Here is the abstract: In the world of mass torts, judges, scholars, and policymakers have long expressed concerns over how plaintiffs’ attorneys represent mass-tort victims. Their concerns center on how (and how much) those attorneys are paid, what incentives those attorneys have to represent their clients well, and how those attorneys are overseen.
