Incredible substance here from @chrischirp.bsky.social. The 2nd wave of COVID-19 in the UK was a) devastating and b) avoidable. Take time to play the clip of Prof Kevin Fong who breaks down when describing the scale of death and its impact on ICU staff. christinapagel.substack.com/p/the-uk-cov...

Jiménez on New Legal Anti-Positivism

Felipe Jiménez (USC Gould School of Law) has posted Truly General Jurisprudence (Forthcoming in Legal Theory) on SSRN. Here is the abstract: There has been a recent turn towards a new form of nonpositivism in Anglo-American jurisprudence. This paper focuses on the theories articulated by Mark Greenberg and Scott Hershovitz (I label their views as the "New Legal Anti-Positivism" or NLAP).
