It’s finally out! After years of work, I’m very glad to announce that my #book Algorithmic Rule by Law is now published @CambridgeUP. If you’re interested in the intersection of #law, #technology and #government - with some philosophical twists - this book is for you.

I’m not criticising the weather warnings that we’re all over the media … just no idea why every phone went off to “warn” us on Thursday night about something we knew was coming and then on Friday about something that was already happening

Had the pleasure of reading a draft of this piece. It is excellent, and you can see the impact of the arguments in the arguments on legislative interpretation which were made in the For Women Scotland (no 2) case in the Supreme Court

I don’t know where the truth lies - but the evidence of the Maltese eye-witness was the least reliable eye witness evidence I have come across in 40 years in the profession - and I formed that view before I learned that he had taken a bung! Very doubtful basis for a conviction
A brilliant and emotional watch. Well done to all cast and crew involved. Jim Squire et al. keep on fighting for the truth! #Lockerbie #LockerbieASearchForTruth

Replying to @GavWard @elonmusk
(2 of 2) …in Parliament, it’s the role of the @Conservatives now to give @UKLabour a really hard time in vociferous debate. Much in same way as in your country @elonmusk where @TheDemocrats battled The Republicans @HouseGOP @SenateGOP. Gettysburg instructive. #housedivided ⚖️🐅

(1 of 2) Wish I could recall more of the legal systems principles from first year of law school here. Professor Mullen worth listening to. Having spent 10K+ hours learning about law in the UK + beyond since, there is far more to all of this than snap judgments. Eg in Parliament…
