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 🧵

📢 We have just launched our new (and much requested!) Mentoring Programme!
The Collective’s mentoring programme aims to support women working in legal philosophy in enhancing their skills, navigating professional challenges, and progressing their careers.
Amalia Amaya, the Director of our Centre, has published a blogpost ‘Subjective Justice’ on the Cardiff University ‘Open For Debate’ blog: blogs.cardiff.ac.uk/openford…

📢 5. Filipa Paes (@oxfordjdg) shared the *wild* insight that there ARE women in legal philosophy.
Soon, we will be releasing:
1⃣ A reading list of works by women to complement the standard jurisprudence reading list
2⃣ A list of women in legal phil according to AOS & AOC
