This is the kind of scholarship that I'm here for. The authors take the long-settled criminal legal concepts of felony murder and accomplice liability and expose them for what they are: racist in application and in conception. Quote follows. /1

An important decision from the MA Supreme Judicial Court today. They limit the "horizontal knowledge" doctrine. In determining reasonable suspicion, the knowledge of fellow officers may not be imputed to the officer unless they are in "close and continuous communication."
The doctrine had been criticized as allowing police to create justifications for pretextual arrests after the fact.

Updating this thread to note that the draft is now posted on SSRN.
“Supreme Court Litigators in the Age of Textualism” examines 35 years’ worth of #SupremeCourt briefs to see how litigators’ use of interpretive tools has changed over time and how their practices compare to the Court’s practices.

Abstract:
-
Yesterday I had the privilege of presenting research at a virtual workshop organized by the AALS Legislation section and @jessecross. I discussed an empirical project on #SupremeCourt briefing practices. In particular, I've studied how litigants have changed their approach to arguing statutory cases during the era of the rise of textualism.
We don't have much systematic data on briefs.
A few key findings and figures are in the posts below.

@rbphillipsjr I've settled in here. It takes a little time. Mastodon was already a fully inhabited and functioning social network—with lots of communities—before #AppellateTwitter started to arrive. The folks living here worked on the messy details for years. The complexity of what they built (post visibility levels, the federation system, letting hashtags control which words are searchable) is designed to foster those communities.
Oh, and there's an "edit" button. #Appellate #AppellateMastodon

Re- #Introduction #Introductions I'm a #CriminalLaw #CriminalDefense #lawyer from Massachusetts. I'll be posting about #snitches (jailhouse informants), #prisons, #bail, #appellateMastodon, with occasional detours into #metalcore, #vegan recipes, #SalemMA and pictures of my #dog.
You’re also likely to find me talking about #EVs and #ElectricCars (I have a Bolt). I try to boost #Indigenous voices and not talk over them.
