Can plea strikes happen? What would it take for them to succeed?
Been wanting to write this piece for a long time. Excited to share it and the broader project it's a part of, which @premaldharia and I are building @endmassinc_org.

For any of my CrimPro students watching at home, these are basically the bookends to our semester starting next week. We'll be talking about Rule 41(g) (and Weeks v. United States) the first day of class. And we'll spend a lot of time with Wong Sun at the start of the last week.
This is striking. If you're a defense lawyer anticipating a search of your client's house and trying to stop it, you make the strongest case you can in a letter like this.
Trump's lawyers never claim he actually declassified the documents. That is very telling.
DOJ has asked to unseal the warrant and "Attachments A & B." Best I can tell from examples of recent federal search warrants, these attachments will describe the "property to be searched" and the "particular items to be seized" but will NOT include the affidavit of probable cause

Always the definitive cheat sheet for any election night.
Just out: my cheatsheet for tomorrow's mega-primaries.
I've laid out 36 races to watch, with blockbusters for governor, SoS, Senate, county exec, DA, & much more in Michigan, Missouri, Arizona, Washington. And then there's the critical Kansas referendum. boltsmag.org/whats-on-the-ba…

I couldn't be happier to welcome Prof @rddoerfler to the faculty @Harvard_Law. A brilliant scholar and philosopher, Ryan will be the first Chicano ever to hold a tenured position at our school, where he joins a small but growing Latino faculty. ¡Enhorabuena, Ryan!
