Please help me get the word out about the new websites for Legal Theory Blog and the Legal Theory Lexicon. Reposting here and on other social media sites is great. It would be especially helpful if law school faculty members could send an email to their colleagues with the new addresses.

My latest piece in Global Constitutionalism. While it contributes to a somewhat niche debate, it might interest you if you are keen on the debates on the Basic Structure Doctrine or the Unconstitutional Constitutional Amendments Doctrine. Open Access Link: www.cambridge.org/core/journal...
