🚩Old article alert🚩 (new to SSRN): Curing the Mass Tort Settlement Malaise @LoyolaLaLRev. I argue that the Vioxx settlement, which was between plaintiffs lawyers (not pls) and Merck, will be a model for future mass tort settlements--and this is bad. 1/8 papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.…

MDLs and bankruptcy have played a larger role in mass tort resolution than I anticipated in this piece, but Harrington v. Purdue Pharma may invigorate these sorts of extrajudicial alternative structures for mass torts. 7/8

This was my 1st law review article. It went from seminar paper -> SLR note -> article, and I wrote this largely as a student. I'm still amazed by how generous professors were in offering feedback to a 3L on this piece, incl. @HowardErichson, who I had never met before asking. 8/8

🚨New Article! (I'm back to Professoring) Tribal Representation and Assimilative Colonialism. Link: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.… 🧵Ever wondered why tribal governments--despite being entirely separate from states--don't get to send their own representatives to Congress? 1/8

It was an honor to have been an equality law scholar and to have met so many prior-year scholars at the 5th Annual Equality Law Scholars Forum @BULaw this month. @aonwuachi, @lmsaucedo, & Tristin Green have done amazingly building a supportive & thoughtful community. 1/7

There are too many people to individually thank for the feedback I got on my own WIP, "The Racialized Right to Travel." But I do want to single out the three senior commentators who gave it special (and such helpful!) attention: @VinayHarpalani,@NgoziOkidegbe, & @inGerri. 6/7

Finally, I want to highlight how remarkable this workshop is. BU flew us out, put us up, fed us (really well!), and we spent >90 minutes on each scholar's piece. It was clear that everyone (not just the assigned commentators) read everything -- and really carefully. 7/7

Some important texture for this decision: law enforcement sprayed #NoDAPL folks with water for hours in 23-degree temperatures. This isn't my case, but I touch on it @OhioStateLJ in Funding the Police: moritzlaw.osu.edu/sites/defa…

There's currently a circuit split on whether an order to leave an area is a 4th Amendment "seizure." Here, CA8 rules in a civil case that it wasn't clearly established in 2016 that an order for a crowd to disperse was a seizure, thus QI applies. ecf.ca8.uscourts.gov/opndir/… #N
