NEW EPISODE ALERT: wgnradio.com/wgn-plus/legal… Thanks to all our special guests: Angelo Petrigh, Rachel York Colangelo, Noah Henderson, Rebecca Adelman and Max Adelman.

My latest piece discusses a tension inherent in counseling clients as a defender and argues for the benefits of acknowledging that contradiction with clients. The editors were great to work with and solicited an amazing response from @AHoagFordjour on post-conviction counseling.

@AHoagFordjour Thank you so much for the amazing response piece! It was great to read about your experiences with post-conviction clients, and also the way conditions of confinement work tends to be woven up in this aspect of counseling as well.

Grateful to engage with @APetrigh’s work in this response: Client Counseling in Post-Conviction, out now in the BU Law Review bu.edu/bulawreview/fi…

Grateful to the folks at inquest for letting me share some thoughts about client counseling.

How might a defense lawyer counsel her client not just about an individual criminal case, but about the broader oppression of our system of mass incarceration? Former public defender @APetrigh of @BU_Law offers insights. inquest.org/decarceral-cou…

The president does not give us our rights. The courts won't protect them. Even the Constitution fails to safeguard our rights. It's ordinary people supporting and defending each other which has always protected our rights, and no election can take that power away.

Check out @BULawReview's excellent symposium on law and expertise from 11/15-16 🔥 bu.edu/law/engagement…

Last summer, SCOTUS issued a decision which renders a portion of NY's sentencing laws unconstitutional. The legislature must now take action, and the sensible path forward is to eliminate mandatory minimum sentences once and for all. I shared my thoughts with @NYLawJournal.

@ProfRobAnderson Can't wait to fill the gap this article invariably leaves behind in my piece: Gap-ception

Just a reminder to T-14 law reviews, my most manuscript, "Gapfilling" is still available. It fills an important gap.

As a young lawyer I was shocked at how anti-intellectual judges were. And everywhere I’ve gone since, judges revel in flouting the law. You are often retaliated against for making a correct legal argument or citing a case. It’s a fear every lawyer for the indigent has, every day.

Today, in partnership with @PrisonersLegalS, @BU_Law Immigrants' Rights Clinic is proud to release this report revealing a disturbing pattern of abuse & mistreatment of #immigrant detainees at Plymouth Jail over the past 25 years. 1/🧵 full report 👇 bu.edu/law/files/2024…

Thank you @samanthaellimax and @Gothamist for covering our new report on New Yorkers' unprotected constitutional rights. This type of reporting is crucial for promoting transparency, democratic engagement, and oversight of the judiciary by the communities it serves.

Thank you to @WBUR and @sdooling for covering our report on the more than 2 decades of abuses faced by detained #immigrants at Plymouth County Jail. wbur.org/news/2024/09/1…

Tried to briefly articulate the issue with prosecuting parents of school shooters. bu.edu/articles/2024/…

Black women (and other women, people of color, marginalized people) often hear that they need to work twice as hard to get half the credit. So, when they become successful, it is usually due to their efforts DESPITE being Black and woman, not because of it.

Professor @JameliaNMorgan’s work has been field-defining. Her scholarship has been crucial to my ( and so many others’) understanding of disability law and policing. She’s also a wonderful person. The academy is so lucky to have her. A true gem! I am so angry.

@OrinKerr I immediately pull out and dramatically read a portion of Sotamayer's dissent. But I also don't get invited to a lot of parties (for some weird reason?!?) so don't have to worry about these things.

If you're a lawyer hanging out with non-lawyers over beers and burgers on July 4th, how do you explain, in simple terms, why Loper Bright is so important?

I'm no expert but I think this will help greatly.

@kemiller41 @CardozoLaw Woo hoo, congrats!

The sun is in the sky. The wind is in my hair. And the provost just called me to say I’m officially tenured. Damn.Good.Day. @CardozoLaw
