Awesome letter of resignation by Hagan Scotten, lead prosecutor in the Eric Adams case. Scotten, BTW, is recipient of two Bronze Stars and former law clerk to Chief Justice Roberts and then-D.C. Circuit judge Kavanaugh. 1/

It's so rewarding to see my scholarship quoted in Danielle Sassoon's fantastic resignation letter. Bruce Green and I have been developing these ideas in a series of articles over the past 8 years in the hope that they would have an impact.

Until today, the word from ppl who talk to Andrew Cuomo & associates was that he wanted @nycmayor Eric Adams OUT before 3/26 to trigger a nonpartisan special election which he thought was favorable to him. Today several of the same ppl say Andrew Cuomo & associates now want

Donald Trump and Pam Bondi have pledged to end the "weaponization" of the justice system. The DOJ's efforts to drop the corruption prosecution of NYC Mayor Eric Adams seems to be having the opposite effect. csmonitor.com/USA/Justice/20…

Interesting that Judge Ho didn’t define Clement’s role. Is he supposed to make the best argument for not allowing dismissal or just give his best interpretation of the law? nytimes.com/2025/02/21/nyr…

In the wake of resignations by attorneys in the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York, Bruce A. Green of Fordham Law and Rebecca Roiphe of @NYlawschool's article about how to best address ethical abuses within the Justice Department received mention.

The Regulatory Review (@theregreview) 's Twitter Profile Photo

In a recent article, Bruce A. Green of Fordham Law and Rebecca Roiphe of New York Law School "consider several alternatives to the inspector general but find that none would be as effective in addressing political abuses of power" in the Department of Justice. buff.ly/8TZ5Bxp

Important to read the statements of the prosecutors whose independence has been compromised. They are not politically motivated. They have worked for different administrations. courthousenews.com/wp-content/upl…

NEW: What happens if the people working as lawyers and judges stop viewing the law as objective—and start treating it as infinitely malleable? Ron Steslow 🌻 talks with legal scholar Rebecca Roiphe of New York Law School Heterodox Academy about how Critical Legal Studies brought “might makes right”

Rebecca Roiphe (@rroiphe) 's Twitter Profile Photo

Enjoyed this conversation with Ron Steslow 🌻 about how the left contributed to the assault on the rule of law. We can recognize how dangerous this moment is and still acknowledge that the critical perspective on the left paved the way for it.

It's dangerous to equate law with power and now, unfortunately, we're experiencing why. My piece in Persuasion persuasion.community/p/law-power

Behavior that once drew serious consequences now seems all too common in our politics. Members of both parties have crossed the line, and the most concerning part is how little concern there seems to be. We need higher standards. When people lose faith in the honesty of public

As Bruce Green and I argue, AGs don’t have the power to remove court appointed US Attorneys. But Bondi did just that with Desiree Leigh Grace denverlawrev.org/_files/ugd/9d4… lawandcrime.com/high-profile/a…

The DOJ met with Ghislaine Maxwell for the second time. Also, the New York Times is reporting President Trump is in a list of contributors in Epstein's "birthday book." Aaron Gilchrist, Rebecca Roiphe and Matthew Goldstein join Katy Tur to discuss more. msnbc.com/katy-tur/watch…
