Delighted to share my latest article, "The Jailhouse Bar." It's about how prisons regulate jailhouse lawyers, and the bar's surprising response. It's headed to @StanLRev
in 2027 and will be my job talk paper this fall. Here's a recent draft: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.….

In his Article, @jdssound explores the extensive written and unwritten barriers to evidence gathering in prison for incarcerated plaintiffs. Through a 200-case study, he reveals courts’ central role in both perpetuating—and potentially resolving—the prison discovery crisis.

So excited to share that my newest article is now out in @YaleLJournal. It is a deep dive into how difficult it is to evidence civil claims while litigating from prison, and courts' roles in both perpetuating and resolving the problem: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.….

A huge thanks to the many people generous enough to lend their thoughts or time to this project, both in interviews and by reading earlier drafts. And then, to the tireless and amazing editors at @YaleLJournal, for whom I am deeply indebted.

Here's a great, far-reaching article on UPL and A2J in @MotherJones, which, along the way, discusses my and Nora Engstrom's recent @YaleLJournal piece on how auto clubs fit into all of it.
Criminal defendants are guaranteed a lawyer. But most people with civil legal problems can’t afford one thanks to protectionist state laws.
An unusual coalition now aims to bust the monopoly. motherjones.com/politics/202…

I've posted Governing the Company Town (revised), which contextualizes contemporary enclaves—like Elon Musk's TX municipal incorporations, Disney's FL special district & global private city movements—within a longer history of capital-governed communities: bit.ly/4hi449O

Highly recommend. An important story that explores how--once upon a time--people overcame the access-to-justice gap by relying on lawyers made available through their auto club memberships, in cases ranging from car accidents to even criminal violations.
My and Nora Engstrom's Feature, "Auto Clubs and the Lost Origins of the Access-to-Justice Crisis," is now officially out in @YaleLJournal! So excited to share this long-forgotten, important story. You can read it here:

What is the purpose of evidence law? My answer has now been published in the @NotreDameLRev!
And I’m particularly excited to share the issue with one of my closest mentors and friends, @seanbseymore!
In "The Incoherence of Evidence Law," @alexnunn argues that evidence law currently rests on a faulty foundation and introduces two frameworks to bring clarity and tangible improvements to the field. ndlawreview.org/2024/08/the-…
