New paper alert!

My latest - "Brady's Shadow" - is now on SSRN: https://t.co/PYGtFRLXFK

Still a work in progress—would love your thoughts.

It's about how one spectacularly failed doctrine somehow cannibalized other, more promising avenues for criminal discovery.🧵

Here's my conversation with @pdefenselesspod@ about criminal discovery and the "shadow" (👻👻!) cast by the moribund constitutional Brady doctrine.

Now forthcoming in @VirginiaLawRev, my latest work rethinks how information should get shared in criminal cases, and why we need to look beyond the celebrated Brady doctrine if we are serious about improving the fairness of criminal discovery. 🧵🔽

@brianlfrye Hooray congrats Brian!

I've never seen a more brutal opening in a book review.

[Carissa Byrne Hessick @CBHessick]

Those people who claim to care about constitutional values or the original meaning of the Constitution must be prepared to live with the fact that grand juries have the power to refuse to allow criminal cases to proceed.
It’s a structural limitation on government power.

@nbanteka @YaleLJournal This is so cool Nadia. I’m really excited to take a look.

Hey #Teachers twitter, what are some good tools for providing real-time feedback, during class, on students' writing?

As in, apps that efficiently compile students' written work in one place & enable me to display it, mark it up, highlight parts we're discussing, etc? Thanks!

Thanks, Larry, for recommending "Brady's Shadow" -- a work-in-progress now up on ssrn in which I argue that Brady v. Maryland occupies far too much space in the legal consciousness and needs to be knocked down a few pegs to make room for other ideas on criminal discovery...

Murray on Brady's Shadow, https://t.co/GndJasNl6T - Justin Murray (New York Law School) has posted Brady's Shadow on SSRN.

[Bryan W. Van Norden @BryanVanNorden]

Is it a bad thing that students read more contemporary authors who directly address issues like race, gender, and ideology that are particularly relevant to them? (BTW just found out I am blocked by Pinker, despite never having interacted with him.)

So many people on here are doing amazing work that helped inspire or inform this project. Thanks & kudos to @CBHessick @ProfRGold @BellinJ @KayLevine12 @AndrewMCrespo

After 60 years, here's the goal: make Brady irrelevant. Build discovery systems so open that constitutional minimums become meaningless.

When prosecutors routinely disclose everything, Brady's shadow finally lifts.

Time to stop tinkering. Time to build something new.
