I spoke with @theguardian.com about the growing trend of prosecuting parents for harms caused by their children — and the questions these cases raise about punishment, prevention, and family regulation. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

In the @nytimes.com, I discuss how parental liability prosecutions can serve to absolve the state of its own failures. My forthcoming @yalelawjournal.bsky.social article "Guilt by Parenthood" dives deeper. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/05/u...

Happy to share that Developmental Evidence Rules is forthcoming in the California Law Review! What would it mean to take childhood seriously in evidence law? This article takes up that question.

Thrilled to share that 𝐺𝑢𝑖𝑙𝑡 𝑏𝑦 𝑃𝑎𝑟𝑒𝑛𝑡ℎ𝑜𝑜𝑑 has found a home with the Yale Law Journal. This piece examines parental liability regimes and parental rights, and how they are connected by a shared logic that harms children and families. Thank you to all those who read drafts and offered feedback!

My latest article, Policing Children’s Data, is out today. It offers a comprehensive look at how law enforcement accesses children’s digital information and challenges the assumption that parental consent is enough to protect kids’ privacy. 📖 Read more: wustllawreview.org/2025/11/12/p...

My new essay is in the University of Chicago Law Review Online: “Children and the Cars That Watch Them.” Autonomous vehicles promise freedom for kids, but also bring unprecedented surveillance. Parental consent isn’t enough; we need substantive limits. lawreview.uchicago.edu/online-archi...

Proud to be a part of Junior Scholars @umichlaw.bsky.social, get to talk about policing children's data, and meet fellow juniors <3 michigan.law.umich.edu/junior-schol...

Spotlight: Professor @nilabala.bsky.social has published an insightful article titled “Parent-Child Privilege as Resistance”. The article introduces a new framework that views parent-child privilege as a tool that can be used to oppose unjust laws and systems. Read it here:

It's National Public Defender Day y'all!

Policing Children's Data is forthcoming in the Washington University Law Review. Thank you to the many friends who've helped me with this one!

Looking for recommendations on law review articles that work in fiction--examples of how to do this artfully!

Excited to see y'all at AALS, see you at the Crim Pro WIP (super early Saturday) and the Internet and Computer Law WIP (super early Friday)!

My article on parent-child privilege has been published! In a nutshell, I argue that privilege can be a form of resistance against unjust laws and systems, and that the parent-child relationship is worth protecting through evidentiary privilege. bclawreview.bc.edu/articles/10....

Thank you @jotwell.bsky.social and Aníbal Rosario-Lebrón for the wonderful review of my Parent-Child Privilege as Resistance piece! family.jotwell.com/privileging-...
