Just finished moderating a very generative discussion group on Constitutional Family Law with amazing colleagues, including my dear Richmond Law colleague Julie McConnell. The Family Law Programming team did a great job organizing us. #SEALS2024 @URLawSchool

4. The Skrmetti case is a threat not just to transgender kids, but to the entire body of sex discrimination law and the principle that states cannot enforce traditional rules confining men and women to certain roles, stereotypes, and relationships.

1. I’ve posted an updated version of my article Scrutinizing Sex, now forthcoming January 2025 @UChiLRev. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.…

The Supreme Court just granted cert on transgender health care bans. It should reverse Skrmetti, which is inconsistent with equal protection law and principles. I make the argument in my forthcoming article in the Chicago Law Review: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.…

@LauraLane20 explains that reasonings in many sex-defining cases ignore an essential question, leaving pro-trans cases w/ correct conclusions but flawed reasoning. This article offers a contextual approach that will lead to more doctrinally sound outcomes. californialawreview.org/prin…

My recent Essay in @VirginiaJSPL - about the centrality of violence in pregnancy - emerged from the a-mazing "Centering Family Violence in Family Law Roundtable," at @UVALaw last January - where it was surprisingly (to me!) controversial. vasocialpolicy.org/ 1/x
