My latest is out! In “Juridical Discourse for Platforms,” I explore how online platforms are exploiting analogies to legal rights & courts. Using Facebook’s @OversightBoard as a case study, I critique how this discourse empowers, legitimizes & obscures. harvardlawreview.org/2022/12/juridi…

I’m pleased that my law library stopped paying for Quimbee for students after the cost quadrupled. From what I’ve seen, it is full of wrong info and actually hinders their understanding.

A bit late to share this, but still very excited! One of my favorite law school professors published two books recently on law/tech/privacy. Honored to have been involved in the early stages of these books. Check out these amazing resources!

Over 250 law professors (on the letter's first day out) stand w our students and see the difference bw free speech and empty lip service to it. If you are a law prof, please join us and sign. docs.google.com/document/u/0/d…

Do better UGA

@PamelaFoohey @UGASchoolofLaw Yay! We are so lucky 😊

Some professional news! This summer I'll be joining the fantastic faculty at @UGASchoolofLaw! I'm thrilled!! I taught my last class at Cardozo Law this past Friday. Much love to my fabulous colleagues and students at Cardozo. You've been fantastic, and I hope to see you often!

Friends: I'm indescribably chuffed to share that my first book is finally done and out shortly! 'The Politics of Platform Regulation' 🔓🔜is my 6+yearlong empirical exploration of how governments worldwide try to shape tech's trust & safety practices... global.oup.com/academic/produ…

@Mehtabkn Thanks, Mehtab! 🙏

@thomaskadri This is great, congrats Thomas!

Delighted to release two new books into the world! *Dilemmas in Digital Abuse* & *Cybercrime Scenarios* feature lots of “dilemmas” & “scenarios” exploring law/tech issues. Download for free on my website, where you’ll also find links for ~$14 paperbacks: thomaskadri.com/research/schol…

Check out these open access books by @thomaskadri touching on privacy, free speech, cybersecurity, and other law and tech issues in criminal law and procedure. Amazing move towards a world where legal education is more affordable and accessible and great supplements for students

@nbanteka Wow, thank you so much, Nadia! I really appreciate you helping to spread the word 😊

Just the art alone is a reason to look through @thomaskadri two brand new open access books, both dealing with dilemmas & scenarios at the intersection of law & tech. But once you delve deeper into them you will find a great launching pad for class activities, exam hypos, & more.

@AsafLubin So kind, Asaf! Thank you! This means a lot, especially given your own devotion to open-access materials 🙏

@bechamilton You are far too kind, dear @bechamilton! You consistently inspire me too. In fact, one of the "dilemmas" was partially provoked by reading your wonderful work in Platform-Enabled Crimes!

Shout out to @thomaskadri who never fails to inspire me with the deep empathy that he brings to all of his scholarship. This is a fantastic open-source initiative - please support!

@hadardanros Cheers, Hadar! I'd love to hear if you end up incorporating any of them into your course 😊

@thomaskadri Sounds incredible, Thomas! Fits my course on alternative justice settings (the section on social media). I'll delve into it. Congrats! 😇

@sarahquinnezz Thanks, Sarah! ❤️

@ItayRavid Thanks so much, Itay! 😊

@thomaskadri Very exciting — congrats Thomas!

@iajunwa Thanks, Ifeoma! 🙏

Finally, one goal of publishing these open-access books for free is to do my small part to make legal education more affordable, accessible & adaptable. In that spirit, since I don’t have a publisher to amplify this work, please help me spread the word by sharing widely!

Please let me know if you have reactions or use the materials in some way. I’m happy to keep you posted about new editions, share more adaptable versions, or just chat about these projects or the issues they raise.
