I'm excited to be publishing "An Unreliable Reporter" with the Georgetown Law Journal Online! In it, I discuss how govt lawyers may be pressured to violate their ethical obligations by pursuing unwarranted sanctions against adversaries. Feedback welcome! SSRN:

I did have someone reach out to me on here asking why in this upcoming article I would focus on sexual misconduct in legal academia rather than "everything on fire."
This is why. It's a fire in our own house. And it keeps young women scholars, especially, from being able to do their critical work.

This exactly why I tell people to fight misogyny and child abuse if they want to fight authoritarianism. Those are pillars of fascism that so many people think are “normal” parts of a “democratic” society. News flash: they have no place in a democratic society.
Watching these videos of ICE attacking children, I can’t help but think about how many of these men first practiced their violence in their own homes.
Domestic violence teaches our oppressors to dehumanize the most vulnerable among us.

Law Profs: I want to give a shout out to the Wash. & Lee Law Review editors. I just received final edits on my forthcoming piece, Sanctioning Lawyer-Criminals (coming soon!). At this stage in my career, I prioritize the quality of the pub experience when selecting journals--and they are excellent!

Excited to announce that my book, REVOLUTION IN REDLINE, is finally out! I compile key docs leading to the Founding, then present the Founding Docs in "redline," visually tracking the drafters' edits to show how the text evolved. (The Founders didn't start from scratch, and they disagreed often.)1/6

I greatly enjoyed working with the @georgetownlj.bsky.social editors on this government ethics piece!
In March, the Trump Admin issued a presidential memo aimed at holding lawyers accountable for certain types of misconduct. @jonleelawprof.bsky.social explains it may put government attorneys in a bind, forcing them to choose between retaliation or disciplinary sanctions. bit.ly/unreliablere...
