A huge thanks to Lucas and Martin for the opportunity to talk about my work! They put a ton of thought into their original questions and dug deeply into my answers. Look at their other interviews as well - they cumulatively give a good sense of the pulse of current phil of law.

One of my favourite philosophical minds, and truly one of the kindest and most supportive players in this whole game. Read about the wonderful Leah Trueblood of @OxfordLawFac and her groundbreaking new book on referendums on the @LegalPhiBlog.

If you are working on questions about originalism, textualism, purposivism, etc., you’ve probably noticed the surge of work in ‘experimental jurisprudence‘ This webpage provides quick summaries of all new this experimental stuff on legal interpretation campuspress.yale.edu/joshuak…
Martin's thesis is a fabulous and important piece of research and careful argument, engaging with theory and the doctrinal material with ease and lucidity. This interview gives a flavour of some of his arguments.
