What an honour it will be to host @pojanowski later this year as the inaugural visiting fellow of Sydney Public Law - a new centre at @SydneyLawSchool dedicated to research, teaching and engagement in all things public law. Keep an eye out for more info!

Save the date for the next conference of the Julius Stone Institute of Jurisprudence on 10 & 11 December 2026 at @SydneyLawSchool

And we’re back! Information about the 2026 JSI conference (featuring Carol Rose of Yale Law School) to follow soon.

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."

Coming soon to all good book stores! The 3rd edition of Public Law and Statutory Interpretation. With thanks to my excellent co-authors @DrNinaBoughey @mariaosulliv Prof Melissa Castan and @federationpress federationpress.com.au/product/public…

‘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 cambridge.org/core/journals/…

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)

📢 Applications are now open for the @ICON__S Winter/Summer School for Junior Scholars, taking place 13–22 May 2026 in Sydney, Australia. Convened by @rosalinddixon15 with partners at @UNSWLaw, @NUS_Law, @HKULaw, @uOttawaLaw, @NorthwesternLaw, @icons_ausnz, and Manos Foundation

This story gets to the heart of my concerns about the Deloitte report: afr.com/politics/feder…

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 legaltheoryblog.com. The Legal Theory Lexicon is at legaltheorylexicon.com. Thanks in advance for you help.

Available at all good book stores!

Well done to my colleague @chrisrudge for bringing this to light abc.net.au/news/2025-10-0… via @ABCaustralia

@chrisrudge And if I may, see also this article - where I discuss the way that complexity drives demand for automation: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…

@chrisrudge Thanks Chris - and well done for bringing the issues with the report to light

If only the authors of the report more carefully read or considered the real academic work of those (mis)cited. For instance, see LBC, 'The problem of complex legislation', Legal Theory 30(1) (2024): 1.

My article ‘The Limits of Judicial Power to Interpret Legislation’ - out now in the Melbourne Uni Law Review law.unimelb.edu.au/__data/assets/…

It gets worse. The Deloitte report suspected of using AI contains a fake quote and erroneous citations to one of the leading cases on Robodebt. afr.com//companies/pro…
