I’m not one of them. But don’t inchoate crimes already do that?

It ignores that systemic factors make it much harder for some people to comply
with the law than others. It entrenches the status quo of more cages to threaten punishment by suppressing counternarratives about root causes of crime. It prioritizes feeling safe over being safe.

It felt like deep engagement with the work from folks who read and are trying to improve the piece. What more could a guest ask for?

What a great conversation with a thoughtful group! Thanks for reading and for your helpful comments, Corey.

I’m not a business law person, but Andrew Verstein has a real knack for letting the rest of us in to complex topics in business law.

Interesting. Thanks!

It’s not, but I’m happy to share a draft. I’ll email you.

If I can get title help from my daughter or perhaps my students then it might be. At the moment I’m pondering a new paper about legislative exceptionalism for criminal law bills. Miss Americana?

In this article I examine how criminal process flattens the complex narratives of crime into a simple story of defendants making bad choices. It sometimes coerces defendants into reciting this narrative too.

Congratulations! Send them out by snail mail. That’s my vote.

This looks like a fantastic event, and I think it’s especially well-timed for folks getting early feedback on their summer projects that they haven’t written yet.

Alice Ristroph’s open-source book is fantastic and does cover property crimes. Happy to discuss that or anything else about teaching Crim if I can be helpful.
