Very excited to be joining @UCLA_Law as a Law & Philosophy Fellow; teaching Legal Philosophy this fall! Finished my JSD at Yale Law School in May. Very grateful to my supervisor Gideon Yaffe and to the friends and colleagues who made those years what they were.

By the same standard, no paternity case was ever decided before DNA; courts settled them on circumstantial evidence for centuries because that's how inference works outside of math. Abductive inference is how grown-ups reason.

Replying to @JohnCarreyrou
Stylometry is interesting, but not proof. The contemporaneous emails between Satoshi and Adam Back suggest they were distinct individuals. Until someone signs with Satoshi’s keys, every theory is just narrative.

Mañana a las 16hs Joaquín Casalia estará presentando su paper 'El peso de los derechos' en UTDT. Defiende la tesis controversial de que los derechos pueden ser malos en sí mismos para sus poseedores. Seguro la discusión será interesante. Para registrarse: bit.ly/3NBQ9P9

Owen dice que ni él, ni Bo Burt ni Carlos Nino imaginaron iba a ser el SELA. Puede ser, pero lo prefiguraron en sus obras y en sus vidas: ejemplos de cómo hacer academia jurídica con excelencia y vocación pública. Eso les debemos.

Recomiendo este texto de @martinbohmer publicado en @LANACION 👇 lanacion.com.ar/politica/el-…

El DNU de Milei y el espíritu de la libertad

Gobernar por decreto es decidir sin deliberar con los demás y asumirse infalible; limitar el uso de los DNU a lo estrictamente necesario y urgente consolidaría el sistema político

My paper 'Are There Any Conventional Obligations?' is now out in Legal Theory! I argue for a novel non-reductionist account of how conventions bind us. I'm really proud of this one, since I am exploring somewhat new territory. Still a lot to be done! bit.ly/3QL9LTB
