2021 Law Faculty Scholarship Report
ALABAMA LAW’S 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 offer true sources of strength in a well-functioning scholarly community. These have been hallmarks of the faculty at the University of Alabama School of Law for nearly 150 years.
Faculty scholarship today at Alabama Law is as vibrant and influential as it has ever been. Our professors 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. My colleagues 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).
Recently, Tara Leigh Grove was appointed to be a member of the Presidential Commission on the Supreme Court of the United States. As the Charles E. Tweedy Chairholder in Law at Alabama, she is also directing and strengthening our already impressive presence in constitutional studies. She is a renowned scholar who has made significant contributions to our understanding of the federal judiciary and of constitutional doctrines pertaining to the separation of powers.
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 indicates that Alabama Law is ranked in the Top 10 nationally for the percentage of student 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.
These highlights present only a snapshot of the excellent work that is being done at Alabama Law. In the pages that follow, I hope you’ll see that the scholarship of our faculty is cogent, insightful, and illuminating.
All good wishes,
Mark E. Brandon, Dean

AbdicationThroughEnforcement, 96 Ind. L. J. 1325 (2021).
Presidential abdication in immigration law has long been synonymous with the perceived nonenforcement of certain provisions of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). President Obama’s never-implemented policy of deferred action, Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents (DAPA), serves as the prime example in the literature. In contrast to prevailing characterizations of abdication as “nonenforcement,” Abdication Through Enforcement argues that the President might abdicate the duty of faithful execution in immigration law even when enforcing the letter of the INA against deportable noncitizens. Every leading theory of the presidency recognizes the President’s role as supervisor of the bureaucracy. When the President fails to establish meaningful

In so doing, the President abdicates this supervisory role, producing abdication through enforcement.

Which Textualism? 134 Harv. L. Rev. 265 (2020).
Scholars of interpretive theory have long engaged with the battle between textualism and purposivism. But this emphasis has obscured important divisions within textualism—divisions that were on full display in the Supreme Court’s recent decision in Bostock v. Clayton County. In holding that Title VII’s prohibition on sex discrimination bars the disparate treatment of gay, lesbian, and transgender individuals, the Court applied what this Comment calls “formalistic textualism”—an approach that instructs interpreters to carefully parse the statutory text, focusing on semantic context and downplaying other concerns. But the dissenting opinions responded with their own brand of textualism. The dissents’ more “flexible textualism” allows interpreters to make sense of a statutory text by looking at social context and practical consequences. This Comment explores these competing textualisms and—drawing

on principles of judicial legitimacy—offers a theoretical case for preferring the formalistic version. But whether or not one accepts that bottom line, interpretive theorists should begin to explore the fact that judges apply not simply textualism, but textualisms.

StealingOrgans?, 97 Ind. L.J. (2022).
Because the need for organ transplants far outstrips the number of available organs, the policies governing organ allocation in the United States are critically important and highly contentious. Stealing Organs engages with the debate over whether national or local patients should receive priority under organ allocation systems. Focusing on liver allocation, it provides an innovative empirical analysis of the primary arguments and evidence that those in favor of national allocation policies have used to support their preferred policies—that the sickest patients should receive donated organs first, regardless of their location.
An analysis of a dataset containing every patient waitlisted for a liver between 2002 and 2017 reveals evidence that transplant professionals have routinely manipulated the waitlist priority of their patients, making some patients appear sicker. Moreover, this manipulation occurs more often in areas of the country that argue most vehemently

in favor of national allocation policies. Stealing Organs argues that the recent policy changes favoring greater national organ sharing are extensions of the manipulative tactics revealed by the empirical analysis. Given the results of the empirical analysis, the time has come to formalize local priority in organ allocation policy by amending the National Organ Transplant Act.

RUSSELL GOLD
PayingforPretrialDetention,98N.C.L.Rev. 1255(2020)
American criminal law vastly overuses pretrial detention even as it purports to presume defendants innocent. This Article compares the underlying financial incentives in pretrial detention to those in civil preliminary injunctions. Both are procedures where a party seeks relief before judgment. And yet, these two procedures employ financial incentives in opposite ways. Civil procedure discourages interim relief by requiring plaintiffs to bear financial risk to obtain a preliminary injunction. Criminal law encourages interim relief by requiring defendants to pay to avoid pretrial detention. The reasons that civil procedure relies on financial incentives to discourage requests for interim relief—to avoid undue settlement pressure and compensate for losses inflicted on defendants because of hasty procedure— apply with at least as much force in criminal law. Thus, this Article contends that employing diametrically opposed approaches to interim relief

in the two systems is not justifiable. These disparate financial incentives troublingly protect the property rights of the wealthy more than the liberty rights of the poor. So too do they track predictable disparities in race, wealth, and power between the civil and criminal systems, furthering the widespread concern that criminal law is racist and classist.
