I have more academic musings as well that have not been published but you may find interesting:

“First Shot or the End of the War?: Zelman v. Simmons-Harris and the
Future of Education in America,” casenote for the Civil Rights Law
Journal.  This paper examines the U.S. Supreme Court’s 2002 school
voucher decision and its implications for the future.

“Rousseau and the Body Politic,” paper for Jurisprudence.  This paper argues that philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau should have acknowledged a fundamental right to property in the body.
