My latest piece discusses a tension inherent in counseling clients as a defender and argues for the benefits of acknowledging that contradiction with clients. The editors were great to work with and solicited an amazing response from @AHoagFordjour on post-conviction counseling.

Grateful to the folks at inquest for letting me share some thoughts about client counseling.

How might a defense lawyer counsel her client not just about an individual criminal case, but about the broader oppression of our system of mass incarceration?

The president does not give us our rights. The courts won't protect them. Even the Constitution fails to safeguard our rights. It's ordinary people supporting and defending each other which has always protected our rights, and no election can take that power away.

Last summer, SCOTUS issued a decision which renders a portion of NY's sentencing laws unconstitutional. The legislature must now take action, and the sensible path forward is to eliminate mandatory minimum sentences once and for all. I shared my thoughts with @NYLawJournal.

As a young lawyer I was shocked at how anti-intellectual judges were. And everywhere I’ve gone since, judges revel in flouting the law. You are often retaliated against for making a correct legal argument or citing a case. It’s a fear every lawyer for the indigent has, every day.

In my 16 years working in the law, a consistent thing in every city is this: judges engage in massive daily violations of the law that are the result of the need of the assembly line to mass-process poor people charged with low-level crimes.

Thank you @samanthaellimax and @Gothamist for covering our new report on New Yorkers' unprotected constitutional rights. This type of reporting is crucial for promoting transparency, democratic engagement, and oversight of the judiciary by the communities it serves.

Black women (and other women, people of color, marginalized people) often hear that they need to work twice as hard to get half the credit. So, when they become successful, it is usually due to their efforts DESPITE being Black and woman, not because of it.

Professor @JameliaNMorgan’s work has been field-defining. Her scholarship has been crucial to my ( and so many others’) understanding of disability law and policing. She’s also a wonderful person. The academy is so lucky to have her. A true gem! I am so angry.

#BULawProf @APetrigh & @elizaorlins: "Transparent scrutiny is not a threat to judicial independence..real threat stems from an unrelenting onslaught of pressure to incarcerate by the powerful NYPD, media, politicians & court admin..pressure that judges are aware of & succumb to."

“No judge has ever lost their job setting bail on someone.”
A NYC judge whispered that. To a public defender. Before depriving their destitute client of freedom. This happens every day. Judges are intimidated to throw poor people in cages.
Thread on a history of intimidation:

This should be a moment for tremendous consciousness building. New Yorkers witnessed that we have an army in our midst, the size of which serves no legitimate safety function and rather is only required to crush popular dissent that threatens the powers that be.
