This casebook is a work in progress. I am heavily indebted to material from Sam Kamins, Jeannie Suk Gersen, David Ball & Michelle Oberman, Jocelyn Simonson, Elizabeth Tanaka, and Alice Ristroph (the first five on H20 and Ristroph from an open source CALI eLangdell book https://www.cali.org/criminal-law-ristroph). I am also grateful to research and other assistance from Samantha Mintz-Agnello, Jimmy Nguyen, Amina Rana, Maria Raneri, and Marva Skeene. All mistakes are my own, and feedback is welcome at any time.
Warning: This casebook contains depictions of individual and state violence, particularly against people of color, women, and queer and trans people. Please engage in self-care when reading.
