I'm so grateful to the excellent editors at @stanlrev.bsky.social for quickly publishing this essay on an important tension in Fourth Amendment law.

I've posted a draft essay, titled "The Emerging Firearms Hypocrisy of Terry," which is forthcoming in @stanlrev.bsky.social. It discusses this summer's decision in U.S. v. Wilson and problematic privileging of 2A rights in 4A analysis. Comments are welcome! papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

Happy to share my new article in the Illinois Law Review: "Policing Bias Without Intent" illinoislawreview.org/uncategorize...

It is gratifying to see people rely on my work in practice and to be cited alongside scholars whose work I deeply admire.

Professor Aliza Hochman Bloom @ahochmanbloom.bsky.social presents her work-in-progress, ”Reexamining the Exclusionary Rule at Revocation,“ this morning at the 2025 CrimFest, hosted by @penncareylaw.bsky.social! #NUSLPride www.law.upenn.edu/calendar/eve...

Felony murder convictions should not rest on underlying felonies that lack an intent requirement. On Friday, along with Professor Caitlin Glass of @bulaw.bsky.social and @sentencingproject.bsky.social, we filed an amicus brief in Jewell v. Florida. www.macarthurjustice.org/case/rhonda-...

The MA SJC, despite recognizing that "blading" lacks a consistent definition, again relied on this ambiguous behavior to find reasonable suspicion. We must challenge judicial deference to this and other vague conduct. www.californialawreview.org/print/whack-...

Tonight at @nusl.bsky.social, our students were so fortunate to watch The Strike, and to speak with its creators and protagonist. It is a powerful documentary about resisting the use of solitary confinement in prison. bit.ly/3X3mH9R

"Suspicion by Association" explores four troubling policing contexts in which individuals become the subject of criminal suspicion based on the company they keep. It's forthcoming in Arizona Law Review, and I welcome all feedback. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

Appreciate ABC7 giving me and my UChicago Fed Crim Justice Clinic the chance to highlight an example of the judiciary having the courage to do what the law requires and be the bulwark against incursions on our constitutional & statutorily protected rights & liberties

Loved having the chance to meet new Federal Public Defenders from across the country at the Baby Defender orientation seminar last week and train them on zealously litigating pretrial release using our @uchicagolaw.bsky.social Federal Crim Justice Clinic’s study: freedomdenied.law.uchicago.edu

Thank you, @inquest.bsky.social, for publishing this short essay on the disappointing outcome in Comm. v. Gelin, and the urgent need to rethink policing realities and constitutional protection for those serving community supervision.

I was privileged to partner with @caitlinlglass.bsky.social and @robertchang.bsky.social on this amicus brief. We are hopeful to shed light on the biased injustice that is felony murder liability.

Thrilled to see this in your amazing and growing repository for advocates. Than you.

Kate Weisburd and I have a new empirical paper out in the Northwestern University Law Review! We ask: what do ordinary Americans believe about how Miranda rights are invoked? t.co/fjpjlJ4vUY 1/4
