While we were gone on our two week Yellowstone Road trip, my job market paper was finally published in PRQ! I collected data on all federal criminal jury trials from 2015-2019 in 22 districts to examine jury instructions practices. doi.org/10.1177/1065...

Dooley and I have had our moments in the past (dismissing my Research Design class twice in the same semester) but it was great to have him at the @emorypolisci.bsky.social senior reception yesterday.
Really happy to share @eboldtprof.bsky.social, Jason Byers, Hayley Munir and I's article "Political Change and Federal Prosecutor Communications: Does Rhetoric Match Reality" will be published in the Journal of Law and Courts!
Excited to return to @uga-spia.bsky.social for Grad Student visitation! Hoping to see @jessicaann87.bsky.social @jonathanmking.bsky.social and many others!
Thoroughly enjoyed attending the @emorycollege.bsky.social honors ceremony with my @emorypolisci.bsky.social colleagues last night!

In today’s “One First,” I wrote about #SCOTUS’s 1866 decision in Ex parte Milligan—and the limits on martial law and military rule for which it still stands. (It’s also a good excuse to talk about the first “class photo” of the justices—from February 1867): www.stevevladeck.com/p/111-ex-par...
111. Ex parte Milligan and the Limits of Martial Law
Although it was later narrowed, the Supreme Court's 1866 repudiation of Civil War-era military commissions remains a bulwark against military authority wherever civilian courts are functioning
