Happy to share that my most recent paper, "Excusing Abused Parents," is forthcoming in the @OhioStateLJ. I argue that failure-to-protect laws ignore the domestic victimization of abused parents & propose an affirmative defense to excuse these parents. https://t.co/JpgRQimt9s

Yesterday was one of those rare days as a lawyer and scholar when the law offered a glimmer of hope.
