Now that our 16th Legal Theory Festival is officially over, we would like to take a moment to thank all of our speakers, attendees, and organisers for making this possible. It truly was a terrific event, and we really enjoyed the lively discussions and excellent contributions!

Looking forward to discussing my new paper next week with friends SurreyLaw&Philosophy!

Good luck to our legal theory PhD students Aina Arif, Sara Canduzzi, Aytac Cura, and George Dick who are presenting their projects either via a poster or the ‘3-minute Thesis Competition’ at the Edinburgh Law School Research Celebration tomorrow.

My new article co-written with Mojca M. Plesničar is out in Pravni Zapisi, a fab Serbian law journal. TLDR: it explores the old Yugoslav model of suspended sentences which (mostly) survives in Slovenia and Serbia 🧵
