England beat Croatia 4-2 today in a rematch of their 2018 semi-final! Sky Sports used my World Cup data (WorldCups.ai) in their analysis of England’s chances in this year’s tournament. www.skysports.com/football/new...

if you work on or with European Union law, here is a bit of hot-off-the-digital-press, open-access research. I look at the gaps between Curia and Eur-Lex to understand how much of a problem using only one is, especially in English. tldr: it's not trivial doi.org/10.1017/elo....

This great new research note by @movadek.bsky.social discusses the pitfalls of working with CJEU decisions from the EU’s official sources — EUR-Lex and InfoCuria — and how we’re trying to solve these problems with the IUROPA database. www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

🚨🚨 Inspired by fellow EU nerds, I did a first attempt in creating a starter pack on European law and politics (defined in a broad sense) collecting some of the people I really think you should follow in this area. More names will be added but a bit exhausted by this work. go.bsky.app/E5ByTCJ

I've seen so many great starter packs, but I've yet to encounter one on int'l organizations and cooperation. So, I made one. It is no doubt incomplete, but I hope you find it helpful nonetheless. Feel free to circulate and, if you have suggestions on who to add, send them my way! go.bsky.app/RbHqH38

The panel "Quantifying Judicial Impact: Selection, Process, and Authority" is chaired by @benjaminengst.bsky.social and @louisabo.bsky.social and welcomes quantitative analysis of judicial appointments, decisions-making and more!

Panel 1 Quantifying Judicial Impact: Selection, Process, and Authority (Chairs: Benjamin Engst and Louisa Boulaziz)
This panel addresses critical questions on judicial power and legitimacy: Why are some individuals appointed to the bench while others are not? To what extent do judicial procedures influence judicial outcomes? Why is judicial authority often overwhelmingly perceived as legitimate? We invite papers that examine these topics quantitatively and comparatively. Addressing these issues is essential to understanding the often unquestioned acceptance of judicial decisions and court’s societal influence.

Fueled by the hope that X will finally sink, here is my first attempt at a starter pack on (all things) international courts and dispute settlement. It is certainly a work in progress, so please hit me up with suggestions for who to add!

go.bsky.app/KE77aRL new starter pack for ECRs in international law, EU law, IHRL and legal theory! 🫡 I guess it might be useful for many (Disclaimer: I added people according to *my* sense of who an early career researcher is - of course, feel free to join if you consider yourself an ECR!)
