Check out some of my thoughts on the increase in consumer bankruptcy cases in Newsweek, here: newsweek.com/bankruptcy-fili…
How do landlords decide who to rent to? Barbara Kiviat, Hesu Yoon, & I interviewed landlords, property managers, rental company executives, and tenant-screening company executives to help answer this question. Now in Duke Law Journal: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.…
In the paper, we show how landlords of all sizes operate with these broadly shared cultural understandings about the morality of various types of negative records, but with different conceptions of what it means to make rental decisions legally and fairly.
We leveraged comparisons across record type and organization size and found that access to housing largely depends on cultural understandings of the morality of different types of negative records.
Landlords have access to more information than ever. Including negative records such as criminal records, debts in collections, and evictions. We wanted to understand how landlords process and think about these records.

Hard to see the letters I’m typing through the tears streaming down my face though.

This election isn’t about partisanship, it’s about fellowship. @KamalaHarris and @JoshStein_ must be elected.

Price gouging after natural disasters is a real problem. See what I think about it here:

NBC News covered a study I, Barak Richman, and others conducted about hospitals suing patients/putting liens on their homes. Now, Atrium Health, a big player, forgave debt and dropped liens on the homes of 11,500 people: nbcnews.com/investigations/n….
This is why I do what I do.
And the NBC News coverage is here:

The end of an era. Such a great visionary and attorney. I’ve had the pleasure of personally seeing this man use his influence to step in and save hundreds of folks in Durham from being evicted through all sorts of crises for the past 7 years. #Legend

So thankful to be awarded the Katharine T. Bartlett Distinguished Professorship at Duke. Kate is brilliant scholar, an extraordinary teacher, dean, and mentor. She also chaired the hiring committee the year I was hired. I am honored my distinguished professorship bears her name.
Congratulations to Duke's 44 newest distinguished professors! 👏👏
These faculty members are “shaping our understanding of the world, and advancing opportunities, solutions, and inventions to improve the human condition,” said President Price. duke.is/54z9s

See our report in Politico: "Hospitals in the state filed nearly 6,000 lawsuits against 7,517 patients and won a total of $57.3 million in judgments. The average judgment was $16,623."

Every state treasurer should undertake this kind of investigation. A truly national view of hospital lawsuits would be invaluable. Thanks to @SaraJSGreene @Barakrichman and the team at Duke School of Law for the hard work of searching the court records and interviewing patients.
