I've just submitted a new paper out this law review cycle. In Liquidating Reconstruction, I ask what the Reconstruction Amendments can teach us about liquidation and vice versa. The paper is especially timely given that 2027 is the 150th anniversary of the end of Reconstruction.

One could argue about this proposition over coffee, I suppose. But more important than Trump v. U.S.? Or Dobbs v. Marsh? Or the legacy of Shelby County and its progeny and the systematic effort of the Roberts court to destroy the Voting Right Act? Gimme a break!
