Thanks to @publiclaw.bsky.social for publishing my article on decision making under the Prevent and Channel duties. So long in the writing that the Prevent Duty guidance and definition of extremism were updated and a review of Prevent was published, which didn't slow things down further at all.

Vital from @sandraduffy.bsky.social on the consequences of the FWS judgment. The process of obtaining a GRC in the UK has long been recognised as being particularly arduous, with long delays resultant from inadequate public resources, and many benefits have now been removed:

New year, new me: today is my first day as Tilburg University’s newest Assistant Professor of Constitutional and Administrative Law. I’m genuinely so excited to be back in the Netherlands to work with fantastic colleagues and students, and even a few old friends (hi @juanauz !).

Many of you asked me what I think of George Letsas’s argument that KlimaSeniorinnen was not an actio popularis because (and only because) the association represented future generations. So I did a blogpost (after a very enjoyable exchange with George himself!): www.ejiltalk.org?mailpoet_rou...

This is a very important contribution on the MA and others judgment. On Monday, the Grand Chamber will decide on whether to hear the case again - this piece makes some very good arguments as to why it should.

Every morning, I choose academia over easier industry paths in AI/DS because I believe in universities as spaces for questioning, not conformity. Yet, Dutch austerity threatens this mission. Education isn’t just expense—it’s principle. Let’s defend it. 🧵 #woinactie

What retired judges do really matters Lord Dyson draws the line at a return to advocacy. But he says there is nothing improper about former judges giving legal advice.

UK competition for ECtHR Judge is being rerun – not enough candidates of sufficient quality! I applaud the emphasis on “ability to master unfamiliar areas of law“: the Court needs first-rate, impartial judges more than it does human rights activists. judicialappointments.gov.uk/applications...

It was a joy organising a joint Durham - Strathclyde virtual session for students working on the ECHR with Dr Webster and Dr Jack from the Centre for the Study of Human Rights at Strathclyde law school. A great opportunity for our students to meet their counterparts in Scotland

Blatantly cross-posting from the bad place because this piece just came out over at the Human Rights Law Review. I‘ve been working on this one since 2021 but unfortunately it‘s never seemed more relevant than now
