Diverse Juries More Reliable, Less Likely in Alabama Death Penalty
Accurate representation among juries can reduce wrongful convictions.
Where the death penalty remains active, increasing jury diversity can increase reliability and help reduce the risk of wrongful convictions.

My latest is out in BU Law Rev. It argues that the tension inherent in counseling clients as a defender is a testament to the power of the counseling space and urges ways to turn that contradiction into a strength. Check it out and the thoughtful response from @ahoagfordjour.bsky.social

This is why immigration lawyers and advocates are begging people to PLEASE verify things first. The constant fear of ICE operations is doing real harm in and of itself.

Relatedly: it is impossible to fight every fight as a lawyer, an advocate, a human. Do what you can and do it well, and take care of yourself along the way.

Voting rights groups are concerned about priorities shifting under Trump's Justice Department
The Justice Department appears poised to take a very different approach to investigating voting and elections.
I’ve been so fixated on work and trying to predict how Trump’s DOJ will enforce his death penalty EO, I hadn’t even thought of the new regime’s impact on voting rights. Yet another reason I am so grateful for the folks out here educating and fighting for our rights in different areas of law!

Restoring The Death Penalty And Protecting Public Safety – The White House
By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered: Section 1.
Read these orders carefully, our opposition has to be just as aggressive: “The AG shall take all appropriate action to seek the overruling of Supreme Court precedents that limit the authority of State & Federal governments to impose capital punishment.”
