I’m thrilled to share that my article, Cross-Sovereign Policing and the Constitutional Crisis of Accountability, will be forthcoming in the @YaleLJournal! Especially excited this piece is coming together as I go up for tenure this fall.

@pjaicomo I know you all are litigating some of these issues so would love to get your thoughts if you have bandwidth!

Hi Folks! I wanted to share a 🧵about my JMP in @YaleLawJournal (now on SSRN). It reconstructs the law of officeholding in early US, arguing that it is inconsistent with the unitary executive theory. (1/

@VirginiaLawRev @UCLALawReview The draft will be on SSRN soon but happy to send to you earlier if you shoot me an email. I look forward to comments & feedback from folks working on and thinking about these issues!

@VirginiaLawRev @UCLALawReview At stake is the core premise of constitutional democracy: accountability must travel with power. Cross-sovereign policing inverts federalism’s promise of “double security,” turning it into a shield for impunity.

@VirginiaLawRev @UCLALawReview I advance what I label the Accountability Federalism Framework: Functional attribution under §1983; a new federal cause of action; narrowed Supremacy Clause immunity; Fiduciary disclosure, registries, state remedies, & interstate compacts.

@VirginiaLawRev @UCLALawReview Internal accountability fails too. Civilian review boards, local reforms, & departmental discipline often don’t apply to cross-sovereign officers.

@VirginiaLawRev @UCLALawReview Doctrinal silos magnify the problem: §1983 claims are dismissed as “too federal,” Bivens claims rejected as “too novel,” and Supremacy Clause immunity invoked to bar state prosecutions. Remedies collapse at the precise moment they’re most needed.

@VirginiaLawRev @UCLALawReview The Article shows how cross-sovereign policing has quietly transformed American law enforcement, unraveling the constitutional link between public power and legal accountability.

This piece continues my broader project on police accountability, building on Police Vigilantism (@VirginiaLawRev) and Police Brutality as Torture (@UCLALawReview).

Great news for our faculty and students at @FSUCollegeofLaw! Most of all, great news that Florida’s two flagship schools are among the t30s Law Schools in the nation. Go public education! So proud we can provide excellent legal education at a very low cost for our students

Orin is extremely generous with his feedback especially to junior folks and I too have benefited from his generosity

Very excited that my new article "Policing as Injustice" is forthcoming with @AmCrimLRev. It's my first attempt at a paper with a more crit-based legal theory bent to it so I would greatly welcome any comments you might have! On ssrn but can also email it: https://t.co/eoirTn2kZC

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 who committed homicides influenced by domestic abuse. Coming soon on @SSRN.

Seeking thoughts on legal academic norms: if your paper is an invited symposium piece, is it normal to simply list that on your cv as ___ L rev ___ ? Or to add a parenthetical (symposium) or (invited).
