Professor Borgen’s research considers how international law concerning statehood, sovereignty, and self-determination affects conflict resolution and, conversely, how the strategic interests of states affect those states’ interpretation of these areas of international law. His forthcoming book, BEFORE AND AFTER CRIMEA: INTERNATIONAL LAW AND POWER POLITICS IN EURASIA (Oxford University Press, forthcoming 2021), explores various aspects of these issues. Professor Borgen is also Co-Rapporteur of the International Law Association’s Committee on Recognition and Non-recognition under International Law.

Inst., Emerging Threat Series (Oct. 2018) The New Governors: The People, Rules, and Processes Governing Online Speech, 131 Harv. L. Rev. 1598 (2018)
Professor Klonick’s research centers on law and technology, specifically the development of private governance in the areas of online speech. Her most recent article, Inventing Global Governance for Online Speech: The Development of Facebook’s Oversight Board, 129 YALE L.J. (forthcoming 2020), documents through weeks of embedded research the process through which Facebook has worked to create an independent, external, oversight board to hear user appeals on removed content and advise on platform policy. Another recent article, Facebook v. Sullivan: Public Figures and Newsworthiness in Online Speech, 93 S. CAL. L. REV. (forthcoming 2019) uses similar qualitative data gathering to compare Facebook’s rules excepting takedown of speech from public figures or because of newsworthiness to the development of that doctrine in U.S. tort and First Amendment law. Both articles draw from work done in her previous article, The New Governors: The People, Rules, and Processes Governing Online Speech, 131 HARV. L. REV. 1598 (2018), which provided the first analysis based on empirical evidence of how three major online platforms—Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube—developed private systems of governance to moderate online speech under a regulatory and First Amendment framework. 14

Rev. 825 (2017) Dueling Canons, 65 Duke L.J. 909 (2016) The Sherlock Holmes Canon, 84 Geo. Wash. L. Rev. 1 (2016)
Professor Krishnakumar’s scholarship focuses on statutory interpretation and the legislative process, and she is an expert on Congress and the statutory jurisprudence of the Roberts Court. Her most recent article, Backdoor Purposivism, 69 DUKE L.J. (forthcoming 2020), describes the role of purposive analysis in statutory interpretation cases decided by the modern Roberts Court, arguing both that traditional purposivism is alive and well among the Court’s non-textualist Justices and that the Court’s textualist Justices quietly have been engaging in a form of purposive analysis that has gone largely unnoticed. Another recent article, Passive Avoidance, 71 STAN. L. REV. 513 (2019), illuminates an underappreciated shift in the Roberts Court’s approach to the canon of constitutional avoidance. The Article argues that in recent years the Roberts Court has adopted a “passive” rather than aggressive form of avoidance, in which it effectively avoids deciding controversial, unresolved constitutional questions—but without invoking avoidance and without openly admitting to rewriting or straining the statute’s text.

Rev. 125 (2016) (with Michael Simons)
Professor McGuinness’s scholarship focuses on the international law practice of the United States and U.S. engagement with international human rights. Her most recent book chapter, Non-Recognition and State Immunities: Toward a Functional Theory, in UNRECOGNIZED SUBJECTS IN INTERNATIONAL LAW (Scholar Publishing House, Czapliñski & Kleczkowska eds., 2019) examines state practice, including the practice of U.S. courts, with regard to judicial grants of immunity to non-recognized entities. Another recent book chapter, Treaties, Federalism, and the Contested Legacy of Missouri v. Holland, in SUPREME LAW OF THE LAND?: DEBATING THE CONTEMPORARY EFFECTS OF TREATIES WITHIN THE UNITED STATES LEGAL SYSTEM (Cambridge Univ. Press, Fox, Dubinsky, Roth eds., 2018), examines the effects of federalism on the making and enforcement of treaties in the United States. The chapter argues that while federalism has restrained the behavior of the political branches with regard to treaty making and implementation, federalism’s effect on treaty practice tends to strengthen, rather than weaken, democratic governance in international law making.

Professor Perino’s scholarship examines securities laws through both empirical and historical lenses. His article, The Lost History of Insider Trading, 2019 U. ILL. L. REV. 951 (2019), challenges common conceptions about the history of insider trading norms in the United States. Specifically, the article demonstrates that the conventional wisdom that SEC enforcement efforts in the early 1960s swayed public opinion to condemn what had previously been considered a natural and unobjectionable market feature is inaccurate and incomplete. Rather, the shift in insider trading norms began earlier than has previously been supposed and substantially preceded governmental enforcement efforts. Professor Perino is also engaged in a long-term empirical project that examines insider trading enforcement in civil, criminal, and administrative actions.

Professor Roberts’ scholarship focuses on assumptions and stereotypes that contribute to, and are fueled by, criminal records. Her most recent article, Convictions as Guilt, 88 FORDHAM L. REV. (forthcoming 2020), identifies a disconnect between the processes that frequently lead up to convictions and the weight and meaning that legal scholars often appear to give to those convictions. The article points out first that legal scholarship has laid bare facets of the criminal process that jeopardize the extent to which convictions track actual crime commission: the pressure to plead guilty, for example, and the substandard provision of defense counsel; it then contrasts the pervasive influence of these facets with the apparent tendency of much legal scholarship, once a conviction is imposed, to assume that the person with the conviction committed the crime in question. Her earlier article, Arrests as Guilt, 60 ALA. L. REV. 987 (2019), examined the widespread tendency to treat arrest and guilt—concepts that are factually and legally distinct—as rough equivalents. The article argued that efforts at criminal justice reform, whether focused on prosecution or defense, police or bail, require a robust understanding of the differences between arrest and guilt; if they run counter to an implicit fusion of the two, they will inevitably falter.

Professor Salomone’s scholarship broadly examines equal educational opportunity, minority rights, and governance from an international perspective. Her earlier books, TRUE AMERICAN: LANGUAGE, IDENTITY, AND THE EDUCATION OF IMMIGRANT CHILDREN (Harvard University Press, 2010) and VISIONS OF SCHOOLING: CONSCIENCE, COMMUNITY, AND COMMON EDUCATION (Yale University Press, 2000), focus on religion and parental rights, gender equality, and the rights of linguistic minorities. Her current book project with Oxford University Press looks at English as the dominant lingua franca worldwide and its effects on educational access, freedom of expression, institutional autonomy, and economic mobility in Western Europe, the global South, and the United States.

Professor Sheff’s recent article, Legal Sets, 40 CARDOZO L. REV. 2029 (2019), investigates the logical structure of legal systems using the tools of set theory. His forthcoming book, VALUING PROGRESS: A PLURALIST APPROACH TO KNOWLEDGE GOVERNANCE (Cambridge University Press, forthcoming 2020), explores how we collectively use social institutions—especially legal institutions—to generate and distribute new knowledge, as well as how we justify those institutions. Individual chapters will discuss the incommensurability of values at stake in knowledge governance, the relevance of luck and agency to our weighing of those values, the widening of our moral concern regarding the burdens and benefits of knowledge creation to encompass socially remote persons, and the role of value pluralism in shaping political institutions and ethical norms to reconcile these values when they inevitably conflict.

Existential Copyright and Professional Photography, 95 Notre Dame L. Rev. (forthcoming 2020) (with Peter DiCola & Jessica Silbey) The Fine Art of Rummaging: Successors and the Life Cycle of Copyright, in The Research Handbook on Art and Law (Jani McCutcheon & Fiona McGaughey eds., Edward Alger, forthcoming 2020) Artistic Control After Death, 92 Wash. L. Rev. 253 (2017) The Author Was Not an Author: The Copyright Interests of Photographic Subjects from Wilde to Garcia, 39 Colum. J.L. & Arts 449 (2016)
Professor Subotnik’s scholarship focuses on issues of artistic intent that arise in the realm of copyright law and policy. Most recently, she has explored the intersection of two bodies of law—copyright and trusts and estates. Her article, Artistic Control After Death, 92 WASH. L. REV. 253 (2017), provides the first comprehensive look at the author as testator or trust settlor rather than merely as creator. She has also considered this intersection from the perspective of copyright successors in her book chapter, The Fine Art of Rummaging: Successors and the Life Cycle of Copyright, in THE RESEARCH HANDBOOK ON ART AND LAW (Jani McCutcheon & Fiona McGaughey eds., Edward Elgar, forthcoming 2020). Professor Subotnik also focuses on particular intellectual property issues relating to photography. Her article Existential Copyright and Professional Photography, 95 NOTRE DAME L. REV. (forthcoming 2020) (co-authored with Jessica Silbey & Peter DiCola), provides a first-of-its-kind empirical investigation into the evolving nature of photography as a professional and artistic endeavor in the digital age.

Professor Wade’s scholarship explores the many ways corporate governance matters intersect with social justice issues. Her forthcoming book, PREDATORY LENDING AND THE DESTRUCTION OF THE AFRICAN AMERICAN DREAM (Cambridge University Press, forthcoming 2020), coauthored with Dr. Janis Sarra, presents years of research on the foreclosure crisis and the history of the economic exploitation of African Americans. A recent book chapter titled, Critical Race Theory and the Corporation, in THE OXFORD HANDBOOK OF RACE AND LAW IN THE UNITED STATES (Oxford University Press, forthcoming, 2020) illustrates how race intersects with American law and corporate institutions. Professor Wade is also working on a book chapter to appear in FEMINIST JUDGMENTS: REWRITTEN CORPORATE LAW OPINIONS (Cambridge University Press, forthcoming 2021) that will reimagine corporate law using feminist methods and feminist legal theory.
