Sharing here a few working papers! First, "The Possibilities of Constitutional Education," an account of what constitutional education can teach us about constitutional order papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

From @jeromeacohen’s fabulous and long awaited memoirs, a funny anecdote concerning his decision at 30 to study Chinese law

As always, comments and suggestions would be greatly welcome!

Third, "China's Constitutional Moment," another forthcoming book chapter, this one about how the period following Xi's ascension to power was twenty-first century China's sole constitutional moment, understand here as punctuation of an earlier equilibrium papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

Next, "Interpreting Authoritarian Law," a forthcoming book chapter on how various common-law courts have addressed interpretive problems raised by authoritarian legal systems papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

With his permission, I'm sharing Dean Treanor's response to Ed Martin's letter:

century, and that near exclusive resort to Cold War analogies represents a failure of imagination today.

This talk of how a Ukraine peace deal will usher in a new Sino-Russian split, the counter-argument that the actual split is now between the US and the EU, and so on, is mostly just evidence that geopolitical dynamics in a new age of multipolarity are more complex than last

Thank you for the profile!

Here is my latest, High Theory in Chinese Law, just published in the Texas Law Review

This is really good. In breadth, depth, and rigor, LPE Blog is one of the best legal blogs out there today

Thank you to @chinafile.bsky.social for publishing my interview with Samm Sacks about my forthcoming article on China's turn to privacy law. I was glad to have a chance to talk more about the paper. www.chinafile.com/reporting-op...

The article is a much shorter version of my forthcoming NYU Law Review article, available here: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

My first article for @lawfare.bsky.social on how U.S.-China conflict is changing American law. I document familiar patterns involving civil rights, civil liberties, and constitutional structure.

Great idea for a series! I assigned portions of the one you did on Israel in my Law and Authoritarianism seminar. May do the same re: India.

India’s Justice System Is No Longer Independent: Part I Part I outlines the constitutional framework of India’s justice system and how the Modi government has sought to exploit the system’s weaknesses.

In the first of a 3-part series, @saraphin.bsky.social looks at the erosion of judicial independence and democratic values in Modi’s India. The first piece out today explains the judicial system and when it started to lose its independence: www.lawfaremedia.org/article/indi...

I kind of like it here
