It was a big weekend for me @law.wisc.edu. I had the great pleasure of being in conversation with Prof. Melissa Murray for both the Wisconsin Law Review Symposium on the Shadow Carceral State and my Care and Carcerality conference the next day.

Really can't downplay the seriousness of this for all of higher ed. But at the same time you wonder how putting powerful enemies into an unmistakably existential crisis will pay off for a regime still consolidating power
Breaking news: The Trump administration revoked Harvard’s ability to enroll foreign students, saying it allowed anti-American agitators.
Existing foreign students must transfer or risk losing their legal status, DHS said.

Pretty great to see this in print. It was a joy to work with the editors at the Yale Law Journal. Now what to do with all of these copies?

Grateful to receive the #AALS2025 Section on Family and Juvenile Law Emerging Scholars Award. The picture feels right since I wrote Time and Punishment while pregnant and submitted it during the early postpartum period.

Such good news!
Thrilled to share that our client, Manuel Cucuta, was released yesterday after serving nearly three decades in prison. Just in time for his first Thanksgiving with family in 27 years.
