“Law is a civilization holding a candle in the dark and calling it a lighthouse.”

— D.M.

Essays on legal philosophy, constitutional analysis, and juvenile justice reform — written not because I have answers, but because I think the questions are worth taking seriously.

I.

Philosophy

On the foundations of legal authority, the relationship between law and morality, and what it means for a rule to be a law at all.

II.

Legal Writing

Close readings of constitutional cases — juvenile justice, compelled speech, and the boundary between regulatory science and legal authority.

III.

Reflections

Personal writing outside the formal disciplines — on memory, place, faith, and the strangeness of being a person in a world.
