The Purpose of Legal Education, 111 California Law Review 1 (2023).
This Article argues that the anti-racist, democratic, and movement lawyering principles advocated by progressive legal scholars should not be viewed merely as aspirational ideals for social justice law courses. Rather, querying whether legal systems and political institutions further racism, economic oppression, or social injustice must be viewed as endemic to the fundamental purpose of legal education.

For Their Own Good: Girls, Sexuality, and State Violence in the Name of Safety, 59 Cal. W. L. Rev. 1 (2023).
This Article argues that today’s status offense system grew from raced, gendered, classed, and ableist roots. This Article demonstrates that the status offense system inflicts state violence on Black girls and must be abolished.

The Clinic as a Site of Grounded Pedagogy, 29 Clin. L. Rev. 405 (2023).
This Article describes the law school clinic as a site of grounded pedagogy: a teaching method that centers the connection between local history and the present to help students understand their individual clients’ situations and the wider struggle for justice.

Brackeen and the “Domestic Supply of Infants," Family Law Quarterly, Volume 56, 2023.
In November 2022, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in Brackeen v. Haaland. The case concerns the constitutionality of the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA). The Act restricts the unjustified removal of native children from their families and helps to ensure that when removals do occur, significant attempts will be made to place Indian children with relatives (native or non-native), with their tribe, or in other Indian homes before considering non-Indian placements. Preferring Indian placements over non-Indian ones has long been controversial. Come spring, this provision, and possibly the entire ICWA, may be found unconstitutional. Such a ruling would contradict longstanding federal Indian law jurisprudence but closely aligns with the Court’s recent adoption-related discussions in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization and Fulton v. City of Philadelphia. Using Dobbs and Fulton, this article shows that a majority of justices of the current Court have expressed strong support for policies that increase the supply of adoptable children as well as an inclination to aid adoptive families the legal system deems deserving and desirable. It then argues that because Brackeen gives the Court the opportunity to do both, there is every reason to believe that it will.
