New draft! Shocking Sentences (forthcoming @IndianaLJ). Check it out here: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.….
I argue that recidivist penalties are unjust in part because they're totally unexpected—indeed, shocking—to the defendants who face them. And psychology explains why! A brief🧵
I had a great time presenting at Northwestern Law's first alumni in academia conference! Thanks @PaulGowder and @HariOsofsky for putting on such a great event. Awesome to see old friends and meet a new group of JD/PhD students who are doing amazing work!
🚨Cool conference alert🚨 I had a blast at the first "Law &" conference in Hong Kong, exploring interdisciplinary legal studies across domains. Thanks @ryanwhalen for putting together an amazing group of scholars!

Delighted to release two new books into the world!
*Dilemmas in Digital Abuse* & *Cybercrime Scenarios* feature lots of “dilemmas” & “scenarios” exploring law/tech issues.

I think this is normatively bad, for a number of reasons. It undermines due process and predictability in the law, limits any potential deterrence of recidivist sentencing penalties, and harms defendants for no real crime-control benefit. 8/
This is a great conference for junior profs and folks getting ready to go on the job market. Join us next year!

Had an awesome time presenting a new sentencing paper this week at the Juniors Scholars Conference. Awesome work putting this together @david__simon!

This is a really thoughtful thread (& blog post) on how we, as academics, should think about our commentary in the general media. I've been thinking about this as well when fielding requests following the Trump GA indictment, and tend to think Anthony has the right balance here.

Super helpful thread for aspiring law profs. Most important takeaway, IMO: so much of the process is out of your control. Do your best, but know that the market is not a referendum on your self-worth!
