3 tys. zł za 8 ml krwi ciężarnej. Tak Polki chronią się przed wyrokiem TK Po wyroku Trybunału Konstytucyjnego w sprawie aborcji Polska przeżywa boom na komercyjne testy genetyczne, które wykrywają wady płodu. Wiele kobiet woli zrobić test za 2-3 tys. zł, zanim odwiedzi leka...

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.

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.

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.”
