NEW EPISODE ALERT: wgnradio.com/wgn-plus/legal-…
Thanks to all our special guests: Angelo Petrigh, Rachel York Colangelo, Noah Henderson, Rebecca Adelman and Max Adelman.
My latest piece discusses a tension inherent in counseling clients as a defender and argues for the benefits of acknowledging that contradiction with clients. The editors were great to work with and solicited an amazing response from @AHoagFordjour on post-conviction counseling.
We're pleased to share our December 2024 book, available here: bu.edu/bulawreview/2025/02/0…
Thank you to @APetrigh @AHoagFordjour @prgugliuzza @jjonasanderson @UFLawDean @cynthia_godsoe Ndjuoh MecChu, Arthur D. Hellman, and Lumen N. Mulligan, as well as BULR's own @alejan_droperez!
Grateful to the folks at inquest for letting me share some thoughts about client counseling.
How might a defense lawyer counsel her client not just about an individual criminal case, but about the broader oppression of our system of mass incarceration?

The president does not give us our rights. The courts won't protect them. Even the Constitution fails to safeguard our rights. It's ordinary people supporting and defending each other which has always protected our rights, and no election can take that power away.

Last summer, SCOTUS issued a decision which renders a portion of NY's sentencing laws unconstitutional. The legislature must now take action, and the sensible path forward is to eliminate mandatory minimum sentences once and for all. I shared my thoughts with @NYLawJournal.

As a young lawyer I was shocked at how anti-intellectual judges were. And everywhere I’ve gone since, judges revel in flouting the law. You are often retaliated against for making a correct legal argument or citing a case. It’s a fear every lawyer for the indigent has, every day.

Thank you @samanthaellimax and @Gothamist for covering our new report on New Yorkers' unprotected constitutional rights. This type of reporting is crucial for promoting transparency, democratic engagement, and oversight of the judiciary by the communities it serves.

Black women (and other women, people of color, marginalized people) often hear that they need to work twice as hard to get half the credit. So, when they become successful, it is usually due to their efforts DESPITE being Black and woman, not because of it.

Professor @JameliaNMorgan’s work has been field-defining. Her scholarship has been crucial to my ( and so many others’) understanding of disability law and policing. She’s also a wonderful person. The academy is so lucky to have her. A true gem! I am so angry.

#BULawProf @APetrigh & @elizaorlins: "Transparent scrutiny is not a threat to judicial independence..real threat stems from an unrelenting onslaught of pressure to incarcerate by the powerful NYPD, media, politicians & court admin..pressure that judges are aware of & succumb to."
This should be a moment for tremendous consciousness building. New Yorkers witnessed that we have an army in our midst, the size of which serves no legitimate safety function and rather is only required to crush popular dissent that threatens the powers that be.
