📚📚New book by @cbambrick.bsky.social "Constitutionalizing the Private Sphere: A Comparative Inquiry" with @cambridgeup.bsky.social. The book examines when courts understand private actors, such as private individuals, businesses, schools, and hospitals, to be responsible for constitutional rights.

It's that time yet again! Join our writing groups! If you (1) study law and courts; (2) identify as female or non-binary; and (3) are post-PhD/pre-tenure, come hang! The research is erudite, the conversation perfect, and the vibes immaculate :)

And I argue that this has important consequences for how we think about civil legal system reform efforts that seek to improve access to courts and access to justice. In some states, reformers might have more success targeting individual jurisdictions than in others. 7/🧵

For the average court user, this means that the experience of navigating court processes in one jurisdiction may look very different from another. 6/🧵

Alyx Mark @alyxmark.bsky.social · 28/01/2025

The consequence of this is that, especially in more administratively decentralized states, directives from high courts and state court administrators take on features of encouragement and suggestion as opposed to of mandate. 5/🧵

Alyx Mark @alyxmark.bsky.social · 28/01/2025

It looks different because the tools of court administration may not be controlled from the top down — control over things like court personnel, facilities, data processing, and records management — may be concentrated in individual jurisdictions. 4/🧵

Alyx Mark @alyxmark.bsky.social · 28/01/2025

Even though state supreme courts tend to have administrative authority assigned to them by their states’ constitutions (and sometimes via statute), the ability to exercise this power looks really different across the states. 3/🧵

Alyx Mark @alyxmark.bsky.social · 28/01/2025

In the book, I examine state courts’ responses to the COVID-19 pandemic, but do so with an eye to bigger questions about the distribution of the power to make decisions about court operations. 2/🧵
