Abstract

This collection of essays provides extended commentary from multiple law professors on David Pozen’s 2024 book, The Constitution of the War on Drugs. Pozen’s book provides a rich and astute perspective on a wide array of dynamic legal, political, and social stories at the intersection of constitutional jurisprudence and drug policy. The work is the first book in Oxford University Press’s Inalienable Rights series to be fully open access. Yale Law Professor Jack Balkin, recognizing the book engaged many historical and cutting-edge issues in the fields of constitutional law, criminal law and health law, invited professors in these fields to contribute to an online symposium on The Constitution of the War on Drugs hosted on his blog, Balkinization. The group of commentators are Rachel Barkow, Paul Butler, Jennifer Oliva, Shaun Ossei-Owusu, Kimani Paul-Emile, Louis Michael Seidman, and Katherine Shaw. Pozen also provided an extended response to these commentators. This publication is a collection of these commentaries, with an introduction by Douglas A. Berman, Newton D. Baker-Baker & Hostetler Chair in Law and executive director of the Drug Enforcement and Policy Center at The Ohio State University Moritz College of Law.
