Looking forward to today's session of "Law & Inequality" (@PennLaw, w/ Shaun Ossei Owusu)! We're talking about how non-citizen immigrants access social welfare programs, esp. healthcare, and the complex role of federalism. Prof. Medha D. Makhlouf will join us to talk about her terrific work.

Time to re-cap last week's session of "Law & Inequality," a 1L elective @PennLaw (w/ Shaun Ossei Owusu). This session focused on noncitizen access to social welfare protections, esp. healthcare. We designed it around the work of Prof. Medha D. Makhlouf, who generously joined us. 🧵(1/x)

"This notable new Inquest essay by Shaun Ossei Owusu should perhaps lead every criminal law professor to give some thought to whether and how we are just 'Making Penal Bureaucrats.'"

Justice Alito complained about the plight of blue-collar workers (minorities)—who face gauntlets of armed criminals on late-night trains. His questions sounded like those of a man whose primary experience with the NYC train came from watching Grandmaster Flash’s “The Message.”

Words are truly inadequate to express the full measure of Prof Ogletree. It is hard to believe that one person did so much and touched so many. He really did make the world a better place. We will treasure and honor all that he has bequeathed to us. His work will live on.
