2022 Law Faculty Scholarship Report


ALABAMA LAW
A COMMUNITY OF SCHOLARS

One of the genuine joys of life in a strong law school is the opportunity to participate in a vibrant community of scholars who wrestle with serious issues related to law, policy, and society while approaching these challenges from a variety of perspectives. In short, ideological and methodological diversity is a true source of strength in a well-functioning scholarly community. These have long been hallmarks of the faculty at the University of Alabama School of Law.
Faculty scholarship today at Alabama Law is as vibrant and influential as it has ever been. Members of our faculty are engaging a wide range of issues that are at the heart of debates over substantive and procedural law, public policy, historical understandings, and philosophical values. Their efforts have helped to elevate us into the Top 25 of law schools in the nation – Top 10 among publicly supported law schools – through their excellent work that distinguishes our shared institution.
To provide just a small sample, my colleagues – including Deepa Das Acevedo, Russell Gold, Daniel Joyner, Ronald Krotoszynski, and Fredrick Vars – have recently published (or will soon publish) books with distinguished academic publishers, such as Oxford University Press, Cambridge University Press, and Harvard University Press (to name just a few). In addition, several colleagues are publishing new casebooks or updated editions of existing casebooks that will have an impact on the transmission of knowledge to law students across the nation (and world).
Our academic vigor redounds to the benefit of our students, not only in the classroom but also as they enter the profession. Recent employment data indicate that Alabama Law is ranked in the Top 10 nationally for the percentage of graduates who secure federal judicial clerkships. And employment numbers for our graduates across the board continue to be a solid marker of the quality of our students and of the education they are receiving here. Additionally, our students are graduating with the lowest average graduate debt-load among all public law schools in the Top 25—which helps us to draw talented and diverse students while reducing the financial burden they carry.
The highlights in the pages that follow present only a snapshot of the excellent work that is being done at Alabama Law. I hope you’ll see that the scholarship of our faculty is cogent, insightful, and illuminating.
All good wishes,

Enduring Exclusion, Mich. L. Rev. (Forthcoming 2022).
Economic justice has long been a part of the civil rights agenda, and minimum labor standards statutes play a crucial role in eradicating the exploitation and subordination of historically marginalized workers. While statutes establishing labor standards are characterized as “universal,” their effect has been anything but. Through legislative maneuvering dating back to the New Deal, Congress carved out many female workers and workers of color from core protections of minimum labor standards legislation. Due to the vigorous advocacy of civil rights groups, amendments to these statutes expanded coverage, making these statutes more inclusive of marginalized workers. Nevertheless, the exclusionary legacy of these New Deal era-laws lingers. Black, Latinx, and female workers are more likely to be retaliated against for asserting rights or reporting employer misconduct pursuant to these statutes.


Tracing the racial and gendered origins of exemptions to labor standards statutes from the early twentieth century to the present, this Essay argues that, despite expanded coverage, female workers and workers of color remain largely excluded from “universal” workplace protections. Although antiworker forces previously sought to thwart creation of legal rights for marginalized workers, contemporary antiworker campaigns

seek to gut marginalized workers’ protections through actual and threatened retaliation. Examination of the traditional rationales for employer retaliation reveals that the retaliation disparity is incongruent with these conventional motivations. This Essay argues that antiretaliation reform should be integral parts of the civil rights agenda.

BeyondBristol-Myers:PersonalJurisdictionOverClass Actions , 97 N.Y.U. L. Rev.(forthcomingOctober 2022).
The Supreme Court’s 2017 decision in Bristol-Myers Squibb v. Superior Court threatens a sea change in the relationship between personal jurisdiction and aggregate litigation. One crucial concern has been what the decision means for class actions. Must a court subject the claims of every unnamed class member to separate jurisdictional scrutiny? If so, it could be impossible for a plaintiff who sues in her home state to represent class members outside that state; instead, the Constitution would permit multi-state or nationwide class actions only in states where the defendant is subject to general jurisdiction. For claims against a foreign defendant, no such state may exist. This Article argues for a clean solution that coheres with existing case law while retaining the vitality of class actions to provide meaningful remedies in cases where systemic wrongs have nationwide consequences. On this approach, specific jurisdiction would be proper in any case where (a) there is specific jurisdiction over the named

plaintiff’s claim against the defendant; and (b) a class action led by that plaintiff would satisfy the certification requirements of Rule 23.

JENNY CARROLL
BeyondBail, 73 Fla. L. Rev.143(2021).
Beyond Bail confronts pretrial detention in the wake of criminal legal reform movements to eradicate monetary bail. As such movements alter the landscape of pretrial detention, the emerging reality of a post-money-bail world has been largely ignored by legal scholars. With bail an unavailable or disfavored option, courts have come to rely increasingly on non-monetary conditions of release. These non-monetary conditions can be problematic for many of the same reasons that bail is problematic and can inject additional bias into pretrial systems.
In theory, non-monetary conditions offer increased opportunities for release over bail and can be narrowly tailored to accomplish specific goals. Yet the proposition that such non-monetary conditions accomplish their purported goals is untested and unsettled. Pretrial release conditions are often imposed at the conclusion of a brief pretrial hearing and in near rote fashion, with little or no evidence that the condition is necessary to avoid the risk or risks that fuel them. Defendants—many of whom are unrepresented—may be ill-equipped financially or otherwise to comply with such conditions. Noncompliance may place defendants at risk of either additional criminal charges or future pretrial detention.

Even as pretrial detention reform movements have sought to reduce the disparate impact of bail on marginalized people by removing the financial burden associated with pretrial release, they have, in reality, shifted the burden of release from paying money bail to paying fees for a laundry list of pretrial release conditions. Beyond Bail concludes that if pretrial detention reform is to achieve meaningful results, it must address not just the most apparent barrier to release—the fee charged in the form of bail—but all barriers that promote pretrial incarceration and impose unjustified burdens on defendants awaiting trial.

DANIEL H. JOYNER
The Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons in its Context within International Nuclear Arms Control, (Oxford University Press, forthcoming 2023).
During the Cold War, the United States and the Soviet Union created a web of bilateral treaties that were designed to stop the dangerous nuclear arms race, and facilitate a reciprocally coordinated implementation of agreed limits on the number of strategic nuclear weapons and delivery systems deployed by the two countries. However, over the past two decades these treaties have gradually disappeared through termination and withdrawal, until now there is only one bilateral nuclear arms control treaty left between the United States and Russia. The New START treaty is itself scheduled to terminate in February 2026. If that happens, there will be no nuclear arms control treaty in effect between the U.S. and Russia for the first time since 1972.
In his book The Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons in its Context within International Nuclear Arms Control, Professor Dan Joyner examines this history and uses it to contextualize the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW), a disarmament treaty that was adopted by the United Nations in 2017. Professor Joyner argues that while well meaning, the TPNW will likely play only a minor diplomatic role in the future of nuclear weapons

regulation in international law, and that what is needed is an urgent renaissance of attention to creating a new generation of carefully negotiated nuclear arms control treaties among the United States, Russia, and China. This new treaty regime will need to be adapted to the current tripolar nuclear reality, as well as to the full range of nuclear weapons in arsenals, and to related emerging conventional technologies including hypersonic delivery vehicles and artificial intelligence.
