For those interested in #LegalTheory or #AfricanLaw, I recommend this piece just out, by Angi Porter, a former post-doc fellow I had the pleasure of advising.
“Africana Legal Studies: A New Theoretical Approach to Law & Protocol”, published in the Michigan Journal of Race & Law.

This article was one of the last I read in 2022 and has really stuck in my mind. "The Folk Concept of Law: #Law Is Intrinsically Moral" (Flanagan and Hannikainen). While we (legal scholars, broadly) may think of "what the law is" in abstract terms, it's important to consider how law is popularly understood.

It's also worth questioning if popular understandings of the law change what the law is - or how it is understood and related to. #legaltheory #morals #philosophy

This is such a good summary of metalinguistic negotiation. The internet is full of these types of arguments, especially if lawyers are also involved.
