Lemuel Shaw Reconsidered: Race and Reasonable Doubt in the
Howard Law Journal 68 (2024) 103-138. The author argues that "the magnitude of [the eminent nineteenth-century jurist Lemuel Shaw's] errors, particularly in the related areas of race discrimination and the burden of proof in criminal cases, requires removal of [him] from his pedestal in the pantheon of American law.
