Procedural Political Economy
When the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure came into being in 1938, a broad political economy discourse was driving significant legal and policy reform efforts.

Having had the pleasure of reading many iterations of this book, I can attest that it’s fabulous! @athenais.bsky.social illuminates many ways the law treats those at the high- and low-end of the wealth spectrum differently and, in doing so, teaches us new things abt the architecture of inequality.

Every year, when I teach civil rights litigation, my students are confronted with & confront me questions about what civil rights suits can actually accomplish. This essay is my answer. It's a very early draft & I'd welcome your suggestions, additions & stories. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

Not a bad first post, I guess: I’m delighted that my fantastic colleagues voted to promote me to professor of law with tenure. The past several years have been deeply rewarding. I’m so grateful for my mentors and friends here, and in the civil procedure, labor & employment, and LPE communities.
