Graber on A Constitutional Revolution?
Mark Graber (University of Maryland Francis King Carey School of Law) has posted A Constitutional Revolution? (SCOTUS 2026, Howard Schweber ed., Palgrave Macmillan, forthcoming) on SSRN. Here is the abstract: Americans are talking about a possible constitutional revolution. Many supporters of Donald Trump are hopeful that his two elections are bringing about relatively enduring fundamental changes in the constitutional order of the United States that will align public policy more consistently with eighteenth century principles.

🎊 John #Locke is widely regarded as one of the most influential #philosophers in the empiricist tradition. His ideas on government and toleration are often cited as foundations for modern liberal political thought. His work continues to be studied and debated across philosophy, politics, and beyond.

It's pretty hard to overstate the importance of Wood's scholarship in defining our understanding of the nature of the American constitutional founding. One of the very rare cases where the term "giant" was fully justified.

Lim on Equitable Progress and the Regulation of AI
Daryl Lim (Pennsylvania State University, Dickinson Law; Fordham University - Fordham Intellectual Property Institute) has posted Equitable Progress and the Regulation of AI on SSRN. Here is the abstract: This chapter argues that equitable progress should underpin the regulation of artificial intelligence (AI), ensuring that technological advancements promote justice, inclusivity, and human dignity. Drawing on philosophical traditions, including Rawlsian justice, Habermasian discourse ethics, and Sen's human capability approach, the chapter presents a normative framework for assessing the societal impact of AI.

Barth on Religion, Conscience, and AI at Work
Whittney Barth (Emory University — Center for the Study of Law and Religion) has posted Assessing New Frontiers: When Religion and Conscience Meet AI at Work on SSRN. Here is the abstract: Artificial intelligence presents pressing legal, moral, theological, and ethical questions for the workplace and beyond. Scholars have documented instances of algorithmic discrimination based on protected classes, including religion and several established—and some new—religious groups have issued theological position statements addressing the advent and trajectory of AI.
