    Just posted new article challenging the idea that public defense must choose b/t "vertical" representation (same attny handles a case from initial appearance to disposition) & "horizontal" representation (diff attnys handle diff stages of same case) 🧵/1

    Many thanks to the public defenders at different offices around the country who were willing to speak to me about the structure of their indigent defense delivery systems and to the scholars who gave me feedback on earlier drafts. /8

    RT @OrinKerr: Although asking a person for ID does not trigger a 4th Amendment seizure, an officer telling a person who has refused the request that the officer is making a lawful order requiring the person to hand over the ID *does* trigger a seizure, CA2 holds. #N

    RT @OrinKerr: Divided 4th Circuit: The warrant to search a house was so lacking in probable cause here—as it failed to show a nexus between the drug activity and this home—that the good faith exception does not apply. Per Benjamin w/Gregory; Heytens dissents. #N
