Cannot physically do another LinkedIn post, as every time I write one I feel like a fairy loses its wings and I did 3 recently... but I am SO excited to be teaching a module of my own design next year: www.drps.ed.ac.uk/current/dpt/...

Incredible scenes in the High Court: on how not to use ChatGPT (see paras 57-66) - though I still stand by it that we should teach students HOW to use it, not prohibiting it outright thttps://www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWHC/Admin/2025/1040.html

Ah just in time for my WTO seminar on Article XXI GATT in 56 minutes (and yes, scraping the barrel for silver linings in the news these days 🙃)

Remarkable. (Guardian)

🚨🚨The press briefing yesterday between Pres Zelenskyy, JD Vance & Trump was absolutely devastating and to my mind the lowest point of American diplomacy in modern history. @kyivindependent.com editorial is a must-read acutely summarising this excruciating event.🧵 kyivindependent.com/editorial-a-...

Trump’s enthusiasm for “reciprocal tariffs” reflects a flawed understanding of reciprocity and fairness in international trade. PETER-TOBIAS STOLL on how to respond to this assault on a multilateral, rules-based system of international trade. verfassungsblog.de/reciprocity-...

Welcome to the official Bluesky account of SIEL! 🌍⚖️ We’re excited to grow our community here and continue fostering discussions on international economic law. Follow us for updates, insights, and upcoming events! #IntlEconLaw #SIEL

#Omnibus proposal of @ec.europa.eu deletes rules on civil liability in #CSDDD and leaves determination of applicable law to Member States. This is a major setback for access to remedies and will lead to divergent national laws. @europarl.europa.eu should reject it. ec.europa.eu/commission/p...

I would have never thought, before the war, that it would be Zizek – of all – who will have the most lucid takes on what is wrong with many leftist views of this war.

An insightful afternoon listening to the Polish Ambassador to the UK, Piotr Wilczek, as Poland takes on the presidency of the Council of the EU. Also, a note for anyone in charge of catering of similar events: (Haggis) pierogi >>> canapés.

All international lawyers this week be like

This is scandalous & shameful. The leader of the biggest party, part of the ruling coalition, announcing a visit to #Netanyahu, because they're friends. We are the ICC HOST COUNTRY. NL has helped build (and paid for!!!) the #ICC for the past 3 decades. #Nederland #Israel #PVV nos.nl/artikel/2545...

Was hoping to have a nice day and then got to listen to a Uni of Exeter student talk about immigration at Reform UK national conference @theguardian.com 😣 open.spotify.com/episode/6aik...

The European Society of International Law is not (yet) on the blue skies but we are looking for several (paid) ESIL assistants, esp. graduate and postgraduate students in IL, to support us in communication and outreach efforts (you would work with me & the lovely Secretariat team 💚) please share!

I am just a girl, standing in front of an elephant, beginning the centralised timetable system to hold firm against the critics who fail to see the logic of law seminars being held in the medical school

This should be assigned listening to everyone who is contemplating, starting and advising on a career in international law - even in non-Australian contexts

every academic you meet is fighting their own battle. Make it worse by asking them how the writing is going

Today: the WTO is back at work. What are the prospects for early 2024? Talking point 1 of 6 from 2023’s last General Council meeting. 1. Deadlock persists, even on how to break the deadlocks Rescuing talks by starting small? This is getting nasty. tradebetablog.wordpress.com/2023/12/21/s...

Work hard. Weihnachtsmarkt harder. Final PhD seminar to round up what was truly quite a year! 🤓🎄

Finally some good news - thank you Poland www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-e...

Ares on campus today, contemplating why I am always so stressed out, seeing as being a PhD (a perfect and handsome dog) is not that hard

Very excited to attend this event on Monday!

Manifesting an invitation to lecture at a winter school outside of central Europe🤞 It's for a friend who has not seen the sun in 5 days and is beginning to strongly identify with that part of Taylor Swift's "Is it Over Now?" where she talks about 'tall somethings'. I am the friend.

ditto

The number of immigrants complaining about too many immigrants continues to amaze me. Hearing a person with an incredibly strong foreign accent yell "foreigners out" is both horrible and a stunning sign of the confusion of modern identities.

The UKAEL Young Researchers Workshop on EU Law is taking place on Tuesday 28 November at City Law School. Stellar line-up of presenters and commentators. Observers are welcome, so reach out if interested!

“Perfect writing weather” she whispers to herself whilst clicking ‘add to basket’ on a SAD lamp 😭

I am so incredibly excited about the third, and final webinar in our series "Climate Change and International Economic Law" happening tomorrow. This webinar will tackle one of my favourite issues: dispute settlement 🥰 For more info and to register: www.uni-goettingen.de/de/document/...

“To travel is to live and to live is to suffer” ~ Deutsche Bahn

The adult version of uno reverse is when someone emails you, gets your automatic out of office reply and you, despite the said reply, email them back AND THEN receive their automatic out of office reply… academic madness.

Between 3-8 November, in a collaborative initiative between the University of Göttingen, WTI, and USI, we are convening a series of webinars under the title "Climate Change and International Economic Law: Where are we headed?" Learn more and register: www.uni-goettingen.de/de/document/...

One more (5th?) ECT case brought against Germany, this time by Azienda Elettrica Ticinese (AET) - ICSID lists "coal power plant" as the subject of the dispute Luther, counsel for RWE (v. The Netherlands) and for Vattenfall is listed as representing the claimant icsid.worldbank.org/cases/case-d...

Für das internationale Publikum klingt Scholz' Aussage noch viel krasser.

🇵🇱🗳️⚖️Now that the dust is settling after the Polish elections and conversations about restoring the rule of law are no longer purely hypothetical, you can read the entire Democracy Reporting International x @verfassungsblog.de (powered by Stiftung Mercator) symposium on the topic:

I’m really happy to tell you that the manuscript of my book on the Battle of Kyiv has just passed the copyediting process. People from Amazon are pretty excited about this, and the publishing company refers to the books as “something really special”. I hope that’s not just them being nice to me 😁😁

Girls be like: ✨did a thing✨ and that's the thing (it will be fully available soon but I am just too excited... and also terrified)

Things to look forward to 🇪🇺🇺🇸 www.atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/energy...

🇵🇱🗳️Final Results: PiS: 35.38% KO: 30.70% Third Way: 14.40% Left: 8.61% Confederation: 7.16% Turnout: 74.38%

The side effect of following Polish news all day? I will be falling asleep with "Przed użyciem zapoznaj się z treścią ulotki dołączonej do opakowania bądź skonsultuj się z lekarzem lub farmaceutą" ringing in my ears

It’s just villages and small cities. She whispers to herself.

If this woman (Monika Olejnik) told me to jump, I would ask how high 😍

Sunday activity: (hopefully) voting PiS out // remembering not to participate in the referendum ✅✅ Ares approves this message 🇵🇱🗳️
