LAW STUDENTS & RECENT GRADS: Interested in a state supreme court clerkship? Join us on March 19 at 3pm ET for a virtual event where you can hear from justices across the country about the application process and what it's like to clerk. Register below! www.brennancenter.org/events/what-...
Full co-sign! I assume that if this were widely known, I would have far fewer requests to turn my e-mail submissions (sent only when explicitly allowed by the journal) into scholastica submissions.
The law review submission process isn’t know for being a joyride, but I have to say, having to pony up your own $$$ to submit as a non-affiliated author makes not hearing back markedly more unpleasant.
Stopping work on the Gateway Tunnel Project is catastrophic for commuters, workers, and our economy. The Trump Admin’s political games are illegal and hurt our bottom line. Proud to stand with Governor Mikie Sherrill, @newyorkstateag.bsky.social, and Governor Kathy Hochul to fight for you.
This is music to my ears! Thank you Bridget.
and, as always, to @yeargain.bsky.social and @adamsopko.bsky.social for being thought partners and encouraging me to write this up.
State supreme court hiring info can be hard to track down, so I’m grateful to the @brennancenter.org and @statecourtreport.org for featuring this post! Thankful as well for the many friends who gave me the inside scoop on their state’s practices,
Grateful to be featured alongside such brilliant thinkers as @yeargain.bsky.social @msmith750.bsky.social @tiffanycli.bsky.social, and deeply appreciative of the students at UGA for putting together this issue!
My latest is out in the #GeorgiaLawReview!
“A Governor’s Duty to Ask” looks at states where the governor has the power to request advisory opinions from the state supreme court, and argues that a healthy respect for the state’s separation of powers requires governors to exercise that authority.
al procedure revolution, and just a few years into the Roberts Court’s full-throated embrace of originalist jurisprudence. Whether many of the protections we have come to know and recognize from the Warren Court—the exclusionary rule, Miranda warnings, and Gideon’s mandate— are subjected to re-evaluation under a “history and tradition”- style analysis and, if so, whether they survive that analysis, remains to be seen. At the same time, state courts and constitutions offer the same hope now as they did at the onset of judicial federalism in the 1970s. Attorneys for criminal defendants sought refuge in the states to vindicate their rights, and they rejuvenated state constitutions as independent sources of liberty that can extend beyond the bare minimums of federal protection. However, while these litigants produced changes in case law, those changes were not frequently accompanied by formal constitutional changes. Few state constitutions were amended to include the core criminal procedure requirements, and few changes were even seriously considered.
I’m pleased that my Georgia Law Review article is now out! I did a content analysis of every state constitutional amendment from 1960 to the present that altered any criminal procedure protection—which revealed how few states even *tried* to ratify the Warren Court’s criminal procedure holdings.
My article, "Pluralism in State Constitutional Law," is now published with the Georgia Law Review! It explores different ways state courts interpret state constitutions and variations in how explicit courts are regarding this interpretive pluralism!

This is the most accurate depiction of the Midwest to date. Wichita has always felt like the last Midwest city while also being the first plains city.
Last year was a blast. The conversation was great, the feedback was generous, and @yeargain.bsky.social was a consummate host.
My latest scholarship roundup up for @statecourtreport.org covers interesting new work on state constitutions, state courts, federalism, and more. (Sorry to report that it’s the back-to-school edition!)

Your warmth, brilliance, and generosity of spirit has been so helpful to me this last year. I'm glad to call you a friend!

Hey Bluesky! Little late to the joining game, but excited to be here. I'm an appellate attorney with an interest in legal scholarship, and my writing focuses on state supreme courts, state constitutions, and judicial selection.
