Per ChatGPT: "Originalists would generally disagree that the absence of listed qualifications for judges means non-humans could constitutionally serve. They believe the founding-era meaning of 'officer' inherently required being human."

‘The people are rarely asked to change the Australian Constitution, and when they are, they rarely say yes.’ How, then, should the High Court interpret the Constitution? Here’s an article I actually did write, out now in the Federal Law Review https://t.co/OovRqlsjJY

Very belatedly--sharing a pic from the end of a wonderful workshop (the 1st of its kind!) on comparative statutory interpretation in Sydney, in preparation for the Cambridge Handbook edited by brilliant @dr_lbc & @DrNinaBoughey (and a lucky co-editor)

[Mark P. Mancini @MarkPMancini]

This was a joy. It is wonderful to be a part of this Cambridge Hanbook project on comparative statutory interpretation. I am writing a chapter on Canada and the recent "textual turn" in the cases. Thanks for all of your work @dr_lbc @DrNinaBoughey @OrentaOren.

Please help me get the word out about the new websites for Legal Theory Blog and the Legal Theory Lexicon. Reposting here and on other social media sites is great. It would be especially helpful if law school faculty members could send an email to their colleagues with the new addresses. Legal Theory Blog is at https://t.co/D2xkWnXYwX. The Legal Theory Lexicon is at https://t.co/v7ihNBHjIo. Thanks in advance for you help.
