Jee Won Park (Hallym University) & Sungmi Park (Hallym University) have posted When Correct Isn't Enough: Deconstructing Legal Causal Reasoning Capability in Large Language Models on SSRN. Here is the abstract: Knowledge-based systems powered by Large Language Models (LLMs) require process validity as much as output correctness. In legal AI-- a highly regulated domain--this translates to a mandatory requirement for transparent and causally justified decision-making.

Eisler on “Populist Primacy” as the Democratic Theory of the Roberts Court
Jacob Eisler (Florida State University College of Law) has posted Populist Primacy (Brooklyn Law Review, Forthcoming 2025) on SSRN. Here is the abstract: Critics of the Roberts Court assert that the conservative justices are remaking American democracy to implement a corrupt Republican agenda. Conversely, the justices claim to be following originalism, with democratic transformation as an incidental side effect. These views share no common ground, and there is little space left for fruitful dialogue.

Lee on Incomplete Attempt
Youngjae Lee (Fordham University School of Law) has posted Reconceptualizing Incomplete Attempt (Criminal Law Forum) on SSRN. Here is the abstract: Incomplete attempt laws are typically explained as laws that exist to justify timely law enforcement intervention. Such explanations may well provide good reasons for the laws based on harm prevention rationales, but they do not address the question whether a person who has, say, “cocked and aimed the pistol” has actually attempted to kill and is blameworthy for having done so.

Legal Theory Lexicon: Context and Meaning
Introduction One of the most important tasks performed by lawyers and judges is the "interpretation" of legal texts, including constitutions, statutes, regulations, rules, contracts, and the list goes on. One aspect of communication involves the linguistic meaning the words and phrases that make up the text: this aspect of meaning is sometimes called "semantics." The bare semantic meaning of a legal text is sometimes called the "literal meaning." But the whole meaning of a text almost always is richer than the literal meaning.

The Legal Theory Bookworm recommends The Conscience of Care: Navigating Health in the Culture Wars by Dov Fox. Here is a description: Amid historic restrictions on abortion, puberty blockers, and assisted suicide, a health-law expert exposes America’s broken system of medical conscience, which shields clinicians who refuse evidence-based care yet offers no protections to those who provide prohibited treatment. Pitched battles over abortion, puberty blockers, and assisted suicide have turned American healthcare into a legal minefield.

Download of the Week: “Keeping it Real in Constitutional Theory” by Kavanagh
The Download of the Week is Keeping it Real in Constitutional Theory by Aileen Kavanagh. Here is the abstract: In constitutional theory, we are familiar with the claim that a good theory must fit and justify constitutional practice. However, the criterion of 'fit' sometimes gets lost in the quest to provide a bold normative theory about what constitutional should be. Using the debate about the legitimacy of constitutional judicial review as an example, this article warns against a problematic disjuncture between theory and practice in the domain of constitutional law.

Here is the abstract: Election administration in the United States is fragmented. Instead of having one uniform system, each state governs elections under distinct rules and hierarchies. Yet, one feature remains consistent among the fifty systems: Each is led by a "chief election official." Though some states rely on boards, most vest this authority in a single person---what this Article calls a "unitary chief election official."
