Emad Atiq has a terrific new book on general jurisprudence. Published in the Cambridge Elements in Philosophy of Law series, the book offers a concise articulation and defense of legal non-positivism. You can read my review of the book in JOTWELL: juris.jotwell.com/non-frilly-n...

Thanks lsolum.bsky.social for the "Highly recommended"!

My review of Scott Hershovitz's (shershovitz.bsky.social) “Law Is a Moral Practice” just published! You can read the review for my critique of the book. I'll highlight here something that I think the book gets right. It concerns lawyers’ moral expertise.🧵 journals.library.wustl.edu/jurisprudenc...

Thrilled to see "Obstructing Precedent" in print! The article analyzes the Supreme Court's recent treatment of precedent, specifically in cases that seem to disrespect or undermine precedent without overruling it. The article is available here: ssrn.com/abstract=470...

New piece in the Harv. L. Rev. Forum! papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

Great review by @felipejimenez.bsky.social of a great article by @mathieucarpentier.bsky.social! Like many others, I've used the "legal facts" framing of the positivism-antipositivism debate--but am now having to think more carefully about it.

Just joined Bluesky. Hoping to find more law profs and philosophers here.
