Professor Nadia Banteka's Recent Article Published in Yale Law Review

Congratulations to Professor Nadia Banteka, whose latest article, Cross-Sovereign Policing and the Constitutional Crisis of Accountability, is forthcoming in the Yale Law Journal. Building on her broader project on police accountability, including articles Police Vigilantism (Virginia Law Review), Police Brutality as Torture (UCLA Law Review), and Unconstitutional Police Pretexts (Wisconsin Law Review), this piece examines how hybrid federal–state policing arrangements have reshaped American law enforcement and weakened the constitutional link between public power and accountability.

Professor Banteka shows where current doctrines—Section 1983, Bivens, and Supremacy Clause immunity—fall short in addressing cross-sovereign policing, creating gaps in remedies for misconduct. The article concludes with a reform framework—doctrinal, statutory, and institutional—to help restore democratic oversight and accountability.
