Just Theory

In this episode, we speak with Dr Raquel Barradas de Freitas, who currently works as a Law Clerk to the President of the Portuguese Constitutional Court and as Lecturer in Jurisprudence at Trinity College, Oxford. Raquel’s primary research interests are in general jurisprudence with a focus on interpretation, practical and theoretical reasoning, judicial decision making and, in particular, the justification of judicial decisions.
In this episode we talk about the validity of tech-powered predictive analytics in constitutional courts, judicial authority and the role of trust in modern constitutional order.

In this episode, we speak with Alison Young, Sir David Williams Professor of Public Law at Cambridge University, and a Fellow of Robinson College. Professor Young's main interest is in constitutional theory, particularly dialogue theory, where she draws comparisons between different means of protecting human rights.
We discuss the importance of popular legal education as well as Professor Young’s current research project in legal methodology. We talk about the model-theoretic approach in constitutional law and the need for constant readiness to revise our own assumptions.
We are grateful to Professor Young for her time and engagement, and we hugely support her work leading the Constitutional Law Matters initiative: https://constitutionallawmatters.org

In this episode, we are speaking with Professor Linda Zerilli, the Charles E. Merriam Distinguished Service Professor of Political Science at Chicago University, where she writes on subjects ranging from feminist thought to the politics of language, democratic theory, and Continental philosophy.
We discuss her reflections on Volume I of Hannah Arendt’s The Life of the Mind as well as the interplay between thinking, knowing and judging. We ask why opinions matter, wonder about the role of individuals in assessing the legal system and learn from feminist historiography.
Massive thanks to Professor Zerilli for her time and engagement: we look forward to seeing the published papers!

In this episode, we are speaking with Salomé Viljoen, an Assistant Professor of Law at the University of Michigan Law School, where she studies the information economy, particularly data about people and the automated systems that are trained on such data.
Salomé is interested in how information law structures inequality and how alternative legal arrangements might address that inequality.
We discuss the concept of privacy, creating a cohesive data framework and legal interests in the data landscape.
