Mistaken Alliances The Tree and its Root
Summer arrived and the family gathered in the way it gathered in the summers now.Not at one time. In the flowing way of people with dispersed lives and shared roots who found each other when the work allowed.James came for two weekends in June. Bridge and Ground had expanded to twelve people and had a project in New Mexico that required a site visit on the way to New York. He brought photographs of the New Mexico landscape and discussed them with Oliver who found the light in them different from anything he had painted.Nora was in New York the whole summer. She had taken a sabbatical from Columbia to finish the book that was becoming something she had not planned. The third book was a collection of first-person accounts. The fourth was going to be something she was not describing precisely yet.She said to me on a Tuesday in July: It is about continuity.I said: Tell me more.She said: The way the argument builds on itself. Each paper building on the previous. Each case building o

February arrived and the Korean Constitutional Court ruled.Seven to two.Ji-Young called me from Seoul at ten in the morning.She said: Seven to two.I said: More than six.She said: Yes.I said: The shared logic argument.She said: The majority cited the tenth paper in paragraph four. They said the shared constitutional logic argument was the most important contribution to Korean constitutional scholarship in a decade.I said: In paragraph four.She said: Yes.I said: Not a footnote.She said: The foundational section.I said: The same placement as Rosa's two sentences.She said: Yes.I said: Tell me the holding.She read it to me in English.The Korean Constitutional Court held that the right to protection of the law under Article 12 of the Korean Constitution contained an adequacy obligation. That representation in criminal proceedings that fell below the adequacy standard was unconstitutional. That Jang Hyun-soo's proceeding had been constitutionally defective. That a new proceed

December and Kade's second book was submitted to the publisher.He called it: What the Foundation Sees.Not From the Foundation, the title of the first book. That book had been about being the foundation. This one was about what you could see from there.He described it to me the evening he submitted it.He said: The first book was about what the adjacent person did. This one is about what the adjacent person understood.I said: Tell me.He said: The first book described the work. The making of dinner and the asking of questions and the driving of cars and the Saturday moot court sessions.I said: Yes.He said: This book describes what you can see from that position that the builder cannot see. Because the builder is inside the building. The foundation person is outside it looking in. They see the whole structure.I said: What did you see?He said: Everything. I saw everything from outside it.I said: Tell me specifically.He said: I saw you find the argument before you knew you had
Mistaken Alliances Nobody Builds Alone
November seventeenth.The Korean Constitutional Court.The building was different from the Supreme Court in Washington. More modern. The architecture deliberate in a different way. The weight of the institution expressed differently.But a court is a court.The argument is the argument.We were in the gallery.Kade and me. Amara. Josephine. Professor Mensah who had flown from Accra and who sat with the particular gravity of someone who had spent years building the same thing in a different legal tradition and was watching it tested in a third.Ji-Young Park stood at the advocate's position.Twenty-four years old.She began learning Korean. I did not speak Korean. Amara did not speak Korean. Josephine had some Korean. Professor Mensah had none.We had a translated transcript of the brief. We followed along as best we could.But some things do not require language.The way a person stands at a lectern.The way the bench responds to an argument.The way a judge leans forward when somet

August brought a letter I had been half-expecting for two years.It came from Ji-Young Park in Seoul.Not an email. A physical letter. On paper. Written in the careful handwriting of someone who had chosen the medium deliberately.She wrote: I have been reading the access framework since my first year of law school. I have read everything. The papers and the cases and the decisions and Nora's books. I have built the Korean constitutional argument and contributed to the tenth paper. I have been part of the Columbia research team for two years.She wrote: I am writing to tell you that I am going to argue the first Korean adequacy case before the Korean Constitutional Court in November. The case involves a man named Jang Hyun-soo who was in a criminal proceeding where the assigned defense counsel had three hundred and twelve cases that year. The specific inadequacy is documented. The connection to the outcome is arguable.She wrote: I am twenty-four years old. I am not afraid of the roo
Mistaken Alliances The Room
June arrived and on a Tuesday morning at ten-fourteen the decision came.Seven to two.The majority held that adults who had been in family court proceedings as children without independent constitutional representation had standing to seek redress for the ongoing harm that was the direct and documentable consequence of the constitutionally defective proceeding.Seven to two.One more vote than the Fifth Circuit's two to one.Two more votes than the original access case twenty years before.The opinion was Rafael's.Forty-nine pages.The two sentences were in the majority opinion.Not in a footnote. In the foundational section. Paragraph three. Cited as the clearest statement of the constitutional principle.A constitutional violation that is still producing harm has not ended. The obligation to address it has not expired.Rosa's two sentences.From the moot court sessions at the brownstone kitchen table on Saturday mornings.Found by Kade.Said by Rosa.In the Supreme Court majority
Mistaken Alliances We Deal With It Together
It was Kade's mother who figured it out first. We were having lunch at the townhouse, just Eloise and me, a habit that had developed quietly over the past weeks. She fed me and I told her things I didn't tell the twins, not always about them, sometimes just about work or the city or things I wa

By the following Tuesday, the entire office knew. I wasn't sure how it started. Maybe it was the way Killian had greeted me in the hallway that morning, loud and warm in front of everyone, like we were old friends. Maybe it was the way Kade had held the elevator door open for me with a look that
Mistaken Alliances Behind Closed Doors
I did not shake their hands for long. The second I let go, I stepped back and put a smile on my face that I hoped looked more natural than it felt, because on the inside I was absolutely losing it. "What a surprise," I said, and I meant it in the worst possible way. Bendel was beaming betwe
Mistaken Alliances Trapped by the Carters
I woke up the next morning to my head splitting in two from a migraine. I groaned and pushed myself off the bed, dreading the work day ahead of me already. After that dinner with Killian and Kade, well, the train wreck I barely survived, I had headed home and forced myself to go to bed. Unfortunate
