After a rewarding 4 year term, it's time for me to step down to focus on my role as co-rapporteur of the International Law Association's Committee on the Use of Force. Thanks to @pilabuda.bsky.social, Clare Frances Moran & Saeed Bagheri and to our members for making it such an enjoyable experience!

This happened to me when I worked at a law firm - I walked into the boardroom to meet with a new client and before I could introduce myself as the lawyer handling his case, he ordered a cappuccino 🙃

Really enjoyed speaking at DSIT’s Space Horizon Scanning Network yesterday about my work on the use of force in outer space. It’s such a great forum for bringing together space policy leads and analysts from across government. Thanks for having me!

The new nuclear "Basic Principles" just dropped (h/t @dvsteff.bsky.social). The key change is that it's the aggression that "poses critical threat to the sovereignty and/or territorial integrity" instead of "puts the very existence of the state in jeopardy" publication.pravo.gov.ru/document/000...

Hot off the press, expertly edited by @glexareen.bsky.social, @drmitchtravis.bsky.social & Kieran Tranter and with many contributions I'm looking forward to sinking my teeth into (and one by me that I'll let you judge). Also: book launch on Dec 2 in Leeds: www.tickettailor.com/events/schoo...
On a desk, a book entitled 'science fiction as legal imaginary'. The book is edited by Alex Green, Mitchell Travis and Kieran Tranter and published in the TechNomos series by Routledge. Not on the cover, but insider info: the book is "first published 2025", so befitting a book on science fiction, it's doing its own kind of time travel.

I think this moment calls for fresh thinking about law, both domestically (in the US) and internationally. So, for you legal academics: what (or whom) have you read recently that has been fresh and interesting—even changed how or what you think?
