A new piece of mine is now out on Verfassungsblog, where I examine the newest abortion-related ECtHR judgment in A.R. v. Poland. The case shows how women become the primary victims of legal instability, bearing the highest costs of the rule of law crisis.

Quote from the published article by our author Kim Lane Scheppele: "The US is no clearly on an autocratic path, paved by law."
The situation in the US 🇺🇸 is serious, with the constitutional and political order rapidly changing.
KIM LANE SCHEPPELE (kimlanelaw.bsky.social) explains in our editorial what has happened in the past few weeks and what is at stake.

What, and who is EU law for?
A special issue on critical approaches to EU law that I edited has just been published, with short essays from a wonderful group of scholars.

We are thrilled to make this research accessible to a wider audience. Read the full article here: www.cambridge.org/core/service...
This article sheds light on the complex intersection of populism, law, and non-state actors, offering insights into how these dynamics are transforming the legal-political landscape.
The article examines how right-wing actors (especially NGOs) in Europe are strategically engaging with legal systems to advance their agendas. Far from rejecting the rule of law, they are leveraging it - often in collaboration with populists - to challenge liberal norms and human rights.
📢 Excited to share that my and @mstambulski.bsky.social latest article "Populism, Non-State Actors, and Right-Wing Legal Mobilization in Europe," has been published in the International Journal of Law in Context and is now freely available to everyone www.cambridge.org/core/journal...
My few thoughts on the Polish rule of law restoration.
“It seems that the sovereign, when it comes to the rule of law, is the one who determines who is a judge.”
🔥 It's out! 🔥
