The Supreme Court of the United States recognizes Congress\u2019 power to establish federal agencies under Article I of the Constitution, along with the powers, duties, and functions of those agencies.[1] In 1984,\u00a0Chevron U.S.A., Inc. v.

That person\u2019s specific context\u2014whether incarcerated or in the free world\u2014dictates exactly which rights are implicated, but the claim exists both behind bars and outside of prison walls.&nbsp; While working at Rights Behind Bars, I served as lead counsel on the\u2026 <a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/journals.law.harvard.edu\/jlg\/2025\/11\/inordinate-delay-as-denial-lessons-from-seeking-gender-affirmation-surgery-in-prisons\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Read more<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">: Inordinate Delay as Denial: Lessons from Seeking Gender-Affirmation Surgery in Prisons<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/li>\n<li><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/journals.law.harvard.edu\/jlg\/2024\/07\/criminal-justice-for-survivors-lessons-from-online-reporting\/\">CRIMINAL JUSTICE FOR SURVIVORS: LESSONS FROM ONLINE REPORTING<\/a><div class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-excerpt\">Deborah Tuerkheimer* In Online Shaming and the Power of Informal Justice,[1] Hadar Dancig-Rosenberg and Anat Peleg examine a dynamic that has become ubiquitous since #MeToo sparked a global reckoning with sexual abuse.[2] Notwithstanding several high profile instances of both criminal[3] and civil[4] accountability, the #MeToo movement\u2014as reflected in the hashtag\u2014has been largely driven by the practice of \u201conline shaming,\u201d a type of unofficial reporting that names the alleged perpetrator.[5] While survivors\u2019[6] motivations for turning to informal (mostly online[7]) reporting channels vary considerably, these motivations are best understood against a backdrop of massive system failure, particularly on the criminal side, as\u2026 <a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/journals.law.harvard.edu\/jlg\/2024\/07\/criminal-justice-for-survivors-lessons-from-online-reporting\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Read more<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">: CRIMINAL JUSTICE FOR SURVIVORS: LESSONS FROM ONLINE REPORTING<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:38px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About the Harvard Journal of Law and Gender Founded in 1977 and currently on the 49th volume, the\u00a0Harvard Journal of Law and Gender\u00a0(originally the\u00a0Harvard Women\u2019s Law Journal) is the nation\u2019s oldest continuously publishing feminist law journal.
