This frontispiece in my book just made me laugh a lot. Is this Buddhist reincarnation, or some other form of afterlife?

I have posted on SSRN a note forthcoming in the LQR, entitled 'Injunctions Contra Mundum, Jurisdiction, and Standing'. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.... Abstract and link to judgment below.

The issue at stake in 1686 was whether the king was bound by the law. How are we back here again?

Reed is brilliant at this role. What was needed after the froth of the Brexit litigation was a grey man, of impeccable judgement. (He is much less grey than the impression he creates). He is also, imo, the best judge on the court, and has been from the day of his appointment. /1

I am a consequentialist by which I mean that a lot of people should have to face consequences for the shit they have gotten up to

Found this old York sign again which apparently bans cycling while allowing you to injure young and old alike by way of recompense. The good management of municipal facilities is all about give and take.

I’ve written something on punishment and its scope within private law. It’s open access. Link: academic.oup.com/ojls/advance...

Write every day for 1 hour. If you miss a writing day add 1 hour to the next. It’s incredible! Tomorrow I’m writing for 7 years.

Thrilled to announce I wrote a paragraph, deleted half of it, re-wrote the paragraph, then deleted all of it.

This one qualifies in all three ways for me. Enjoy it for yourself at (1993) 13 Oxford Journal of Legal Studies 18. (Unless like me you are an advocate of - even modest - limits on legislative power, in which case it will haunt you. Forever.)

November 12, 1973 --- The day Philosophy & Public Affairs started treating Rawls like Jesus.

I can assure you that this is the genuine SpinningHugo account. Would a bot express such deep hatred for the UKSC's carpeting and decor?

I wonder how the academic labour market has adapted to the collapse of the railway system. When I was doing it full time a lot of people were commuting long distances, maybe staying overnight, and then back. How is that possible now when you have to turn up for 300 students at 11am no messing?

To help you get on your horse. Apparently.
