Professor Chin Cited in Sixth Circuit Opinion
In an opinion written by Judge Jeffrey Sutton, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit recently cited an article by Professor Gabriel "Jack" Chin about his work with students persuading the Ohio legislature to ratify the Fourteenth Amendment in 2003.
After ratifying the Fourteenth Amendment in 1867, Ohio voted to undo its ratification in 1868, though it re-ratified the amendment in 2003, as Professor Chin wrote in "Ratifying the Fourteenth Amendment in Ohio," published in the Western New England Law Review in 2006. The article was cited in the Sixth Circuit opinion in Citizens in Charge, Inc. v. Husted.
Gabriel "Jack" Chin, a Martin Luther King, Jr. Professor of Law at King Hall, is a prolific and much-cited criminal and immigration law scholar whose work has addressed many of the most pressing social issues of our time.
