Legal citation
Shipman’s scholarship on race and the reasonable-person standard was cited in a 2025 amicus curiae brief filed in the Wisconsin Supreme Court in State v. Stetzer. The brief cited the article for the proposition that Black and white Americans may have materially different experiences with law enforcement, making an allegedly universal reasonable-person perspective incomplete.
