It’s boom times for legal philosophy, and so I’m especially honored that The Uncertain Judge was named Article of the Year by the #AALS2024 Jurisprudence Section.
And to be honored alongside @FordhamLawNYC colleague and mentor Ben Zipursky who won the career award—just fabulous.

I was incredibly grateful to be part of an amazing panel on “AI in Legal Regulations,” organized by Fordham University’s symposium on Responsible AI. @ProJoeLandau moderated a fascinating session that included @CoxLaw, @Sportslaw1, Aditya Saharia, and IBM’s Adam Pingel.
Thrilled that my latest work-in-progress "Hardwiring Hercules?" comes "highly recommended" by @lsolum.bsky.social
Comments very welcome!

Alma is terrific, this is your chance to have a great colleague!
Excited to be on the job market with a paper about a question I have obsessed over since 2015: what is going on with foreseeability in contract? I argue two distinct ideas are at work, offering guidance for courts and practitioners and a lesson for theory papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.…

Thanks @lsolum for recommending my latest, hot off the press from @PennLRev @pennlaw on how normative uncertainty means judicial opinions are less than forthright if judges behave rationally.
Big implications for AI debates coming soon to a law review queue near you...

"The ward at the Patient’s Friends Benevolent Society hospital is crowded with other skeletal children, some doubled up on the 12 beds. There are only two functioning paediatric teams left in Gaza City, and up to 200 children turn up daily seeking treatment."
An atrocity.

Grateful for the recognition, and for all those who engaged with me on this work. Looking forward to the next piece in this project--stay tuned.

Congrats to @CoxLaw and B. Zipursky on their AALS Jurisprudence Section awards this year!!!
Two Fordham Law professors will be honored and 11 faculty members will speak at the 2024 Association of American Law Schools (@TheAALS) Annual Meeting, held this week in Washington, DC with the theme of “Defending Democracy.” bit.ly/47mmEIo
This was so much fun! Thank you @mollyxbrady, Henry Smith, and your fabulous students and colleagues.
I neglected to celebrate the kickoff of @Harvard_Law's Private Law Workshop last week, ft. Carol Rose. While I am a poor substitute for typical co-leader John Goldberg, Henry Smith and I have a stellar lineup this semester (inc. @kevin_tobia, @nirrvala, @CoxLaw, @JamesYStern).

Had a fantastic time presenting The Uncertain Judge (& Its Implications!) at the @CCJ_UdG Seminar yesterday. Excellent questions and conversations as I work on the next in this series. Gràcies, @jferrerbeltran & @Mauricio_019 for the invitation and being such wonderful hosts!!!
¿Existe un conflicto entre lo que un juez racionalmente debe hacer y lo que judicialmente debe hacer?
Mañana en la @CCJ_UdG tendremos el gusto de contar con Courtney Cox, quien expondrá su paper: “The uncertain judge”, en el que se aborda esta pregunta.
