It's not everyday to have a world leader drop by one's class. It was a privilege and pleasure to welcome the 29th Prime Minister of Australia, Malcolm Turnbull, to my Jurisprudence seminar today on The Rule of Law and its Value at The University of Sydney Law School. An inspiring discussion.

Omg buying this immediately
I am just a girl standing in front of you asking all my fellow critical legal scholars to perform a concrete analysis of a concrete situation rather than keep writing things whose citations are 90% from the 1990s and early 2000s.
I’ve been looking out for this book. It looks like a fun topic. #RomanLaw
Including a chapter of mine I wrote in large part for the last footnote: "Dissent in Terminello v. Chicago, 337 US 37 (1949)."
Very pleased that my book The Rule of Law in Ancient Rome, co-edited with colleagues in classical studies, and for which I contributed the opening chapter, will be published this week by Oxford. A splendid interdisciplinary endeavor.

The recent arrest of a Wisconsin judge by the Trump administration may be what William Scheuerman calls a politically motivated "official rule departure", a form of civil disobedience that may strengthen the rule of law. More in the new Routledge Handbook of the Rule of Law:

Aziz Huq's chapter on this is excellent! Thanks.
Very fortunate to have had Mark's contribution for the Routledge Handbook of the Rule of Law. It's an astute and valuable response to (among other things) Jeremy Waldron's latest views on the rule of law. I summarize all the chapters of the handbook here:

My former colleague Emma Borg has a new book out, defending "common sense" belief desire psychology against recent challenges (including claims of systematic irrationality and accounts of "behavior reading"). I read an early version and it's fantastic—
