Peter Hook has an interesting piece on SSRN, in which he maps, using various statistical techniques, the "topic space" of Supreme Court opinions--i.e., mapping the commonalities in the topical categories assigned to each case by West. It's a nice article, but I also like it in part because it gives me an entree to talking about methodology in empirical legal analysis, which I'd like to offer a couple posts on--if only to remind empirical legal scholars that multiple… [read post]

I recently received a free copy of Critical Tax Theory: An Introduction, a collection edited by Profs. Anthony C. Infanti (Pittsburgh) and Bridget Crawford (Pace). The book, at 397 pages, is easily the most comprehensive work on the subject, even including a brief essay that I wrote a few years ago on Women, Poverty, and the Tax Code [perhaps that's why I got the free copy.] Ten, or is it twenty or thirty, years into the critical tax movement it provides an opportunity to take stock of what… [read post]

Carla Fredericks has posted “Plenary Energy,” forthcoming in the West Virginia Law Review, on SSRN.

Nowhere is there more conflict between the trust responsibility and sovereignty than within… [read post]

Evan D. Bernice has posted “Canon Against Conquest” on SSRN. Here is the abstract: The interpretive rules that require judges to read treaties, statutes, and other legal texts in favor of Native nations and people have always been contested. But seldom has the future of the “Indian canon” seemed so uncertain.

Jonelle Walker has published “Wendigocene: A Story of Hunger” with the Turtle Island Journal of Indigenous Health. Highly recommended. The abstract: My mother once told me that if you speak about Wendigos out loud, they will come. They are cannibals, flesh eaters, spirit eaters.
