Here’s last night’s story about police stings, why they can seem like they’re creating more crime than they’re stopping, and why, legally speaking, you are not allowed to be afraid of a six foot tall Donald Duck. youtu.be/LqwJFuntco4

Grateful for the opportunity to speak about my Federal Criminal Justice Clinic's Freedom Denied project and how we use transformative advocacy to effect systemic change at @UChicagoLaw's first-ever Endowed Chair Lecture: www.law.uchicago.edu/news/alison-...

Appreciate ABC7 giving me and my UChicago Fed Crim Justice Clinic the chance to highlight an example of the judiciary having the courage to do what the law requires and be the bulwark against incursions on our constitutional & statutorily protected rights & liberties

“This man has to be released unless the prosecutor can actually prove that there is a, quote, ‘serious risk’ that he will flee the jurisdiction if he's released and they would need to prove that by what we call a preponderance of the evidence,” Clinical Prof. @alisonsiegler.bsky.social told ABC7.

Loved having the chance to meet new Federal Public Defenders from across the country at the Baby Defender orientation seminar last week and train them on zealously litigating pretrial release using our @uchicagolaw.bsky.social Federal Crim Justice Clinic’s study: freedomdenied.law.uchicago.edu

I'm happy to welcome the University of Chicago Law School, @uchicagolaw.bsky.social, to Bluesky! To celebrate the arrival of our official account, here is a starter pack with my faculty colleagues. go.bsky.app/L81ZCoX

Yesterday I had the privilege of participating in the USSC’s Drug Sentencing Roundtable. Forty years into the failed War on Drugs, it is past time to rethink the drug Guidelines. Thankful to the Commission for hosting this conversation. 1/2
