  2. "We show that #climate litigation can lead to the implementation of significant policy changes. The paper concludes by arguing that with each successful climate case taken against a state, the corpus of international jurisprudence grows and reverberates, creating a ‘domino effect’ in climate litigation. Each judgment adds to the resource base of case law that can be cited in the future, serving to intensify the pressure on policymakers."

  5. 'Three syntactic patterns appear consistently:
    • Passive constructions, such as “Data shall be retained,” which avoid naming the actor.
    • Nominalizations, such as “submission,” which replace verbs like “submit” to obscure who acts.
    • Instruction templates without subjects, such as “Confirm identity before approval,” which issue commands without specifying any agent.

    'Each of these forms is grammatically acceptable and often institutionally adopted. What unites them is that they structurally remove the subject, the speaker, and the agent.

  10. Risk tools come to still improve our chances. A study shows:
    ➤ Risk assessment reduces the likelihood of incarceration for relatively affluent defendants,
    ➤ Risk assessment increases the likelihood of incarceration for relatively poor defendants.

    It’s a super exciting space and more PhD students can only make it better!

  17. UK Public law question for you on new year's day:

    If you could get your MP to pass a single law in 2023 that would impact the constitution or another important public or administrative law area, what would that law be?

    Please comment.

  18. I think we academics overestimate our importance if we insist that we meet in person for a conference restricting remote options & in a place most only reach with a huge #climate footprint🌏 (+if privileged🛂💰). I consider it would be unethical for me to attend such events. Some of us in #internationallaw #lawprof #publiclaw received an invitation today. #staygrounded #climateemergency @StayGrounded_net @PIL

  19. Hello (again).
    I'm Adam. I'm a constitutional lawyer at the University of Liverpool.

    I'm particularly interested in
    - the limits of parliament's law-making power (yes, I think there are some)
    - the scrutiny of delegated legislation (I think it's not done well enough)
    - the future of the monarchy (I am sceptical).

  20. *grits teeth* ok so I'm a legal academic at Durham. My research is broadly #sociolegal and #qualitative, and my area is #publiclaw / #constitutionallaw. I focus much more on the non-judicial branches of the state, the #executivebranch and #legislativebranch / #legislatures/ #Parliaments. I'm *particularly* interested in the role of #officials / #civilservice/ #bureaucracy, and the maintenance of ideals in the grubbiness of organisation. I think I've used up my hashtags quota for the year....

    The hearing will be live streamed - you *should* be able watch it here 📺 👉 judiciary.uk/the-court-of-appe

    (This is one of the (many!) cases I worked on as Legal Director at #GoodLawProject - it feels very strange not to be there today!

    It's probably a relief for our lawyers not to have me frantically passing them notes every 5 minutes!

    Good luck to them all - they're an incredible team 💪)
