My article "The Nature of a Precedent's Error" is now out in Jurisprudence. In it I set out a theory of "egregiously erroneous" precedents, suggesting that they involve a special sort of moral error. Here it is: https://t.co/0OIiU6Fu1j

Bob Bauer, Sam Issacharoff, and I have launched The Democracy Project at NYU. We begin with a series of 100 essays in 100 days from US and international figures of diverse ideological views and experiences.
Our first 3 essays now live are highly provocative, from Frances Lee, Randy Kennedy, and Nick Bagley.

@alexnunn On the bright side, it seems to really (really!) care about your feedback

Excited to share my new paper, In Defense of Factual Precedents, forthcoming @UChiLRev

When courts determine general facts - like recidivism rates or historical facts - I argue that they should rely on presumptive factual precedents

Our paper--Challenging the State’s Claim to Authority-- is officially published and open access in Law & Philosophy!

@yaromeir and I explore the relationship between states' normative claims and their de-facto power

@alexnunn @ProfRobAnderson Luckily in my case, good things come to those who wait

[Tomer Kenneth @TomerKenneth]

Excited to share my article with the brilliant @yaromeir, forthcoming in Law & Philosophy!

We explore the dynamics of state's authority. We argue that, alongside legitimacy, authority also depends on power--power that is constantly being challenged...

@JoePTomlinson @jed_meers Very cool!
@NeliFrost and @kat_geddes might also be interested in this one

[Yonathan Arbel @ProfArbel]

... It lies, especially, in the particular ways in which administrative competence is executed and expertise in public decision-making is operationalized. Put differently, publicness in this context is more about normativity and less about legality."

[Tomer Kenneth @TomerKenneth]

This is a great piece!

As is usually the case, @NeliFrost she made me think a bit differently - this time about what makes public decision-making public

[Neli Frost @NeliFrost]

My new piece on publicness in public administration and the use of machine learning is finally out! 🧵
Impoverished Publicness of Algorithmic Decision Making https://t.co/gRueke9uyp

[Tomer Kenneth @TomerKenneth]

"Publicness [...]emerges not only as a requirement for publicity (making decisions transparent), nor exclusively as a quality of law or as a demand for standards applicable downstream to the interactions between public decision-makers and those affected by their decisions...
