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!
New draft! Shocking Sentences (forthcoming @IndianaLJ). Check it out here: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.….

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

Had a great time over the past few days at #biolawlapalooza engaging with folks across the biolaw space and talking about how health-related mitigation like addiction & mental illness might influence criminal sentencing. Love this kind & creative group of scholars!

My new article, Modern Sentencing Mitigation, is out in the @NwULRev! It's the first empirical study examining mitigation practices in real noncapital cases. Spoiler: mitigation matters in sentencing, and judges seem to reject the Guidlines' approach.
