The amazing Law and Courts audience stayed engaged and showed up with lots of questions also for the very last panel. Thanks to everyone for a great #ecprgc25 and we hope to see you all for #ecprgc26!
We had a great set of papers on public authorities' compliance with court rulings. @taraldberge.bsky.social presented work on whether states use compliance with ISDS awards to signal commitment to property rights #ecprgc25
Olof Larsson argued that scholarship on compliance with 🇪🇺 law needs to be more attentive to differences between negative and positive integration cases #ecprgc25
Dewy Pistora discussed whether the remedial tools of 🇳🇱 courts are sufficient for achieving compliance in public interest litigation cases and what they may learn from 🇺🇸 courts.
@karinleijon.bsky.social presented novel data on 🇸🇪 municipalities' compliance with lower court judgments #ecprgc25
Andreu Rodilla Lázaro shows that ideological polarization on the Spanish Constitutional Court has increased over time and that this has important consequences for the decision making of the Court! #ecprgc25
👏 👏 👏 Congratulations to @ripplingeralina.bsky.social, who won the best paper award for last year's conference and was handed the 🏆 and diploma by @benjaminengst.bsky.social at the business meeting 👏 👏 👏
How do differences in court-state relationships and the understanding of the separation of power influence how asylum claims are adjudicated? Andreas Lundstedt investigates this question through a comparative study of 🇸🇪 and 🇨🇦 courts #ecprgc25 !
How are judgments of supranational courts implemented at the street level? @hshelland.bsky.social provides interview evidence from the implementation of European Court of Human Rights judgments against 🇳🇴 concerning child protection services #ecprgc25!
What explains variation in trust in child protection services and how does trust influence acceptance of state interventions? @mathealo.bsky.social presents impressive survey data from the OECD countries #ecprgc25
What we lack in terms of projectors and aircondition, we make up for with slides on zoom and great paper presenters. @ripplingeralina.bsky.social, the winner of last year's best paper award, is now presenting her paper on legal resistance!
Is the public able to detect the capture of courts? Amanda Driscoll and coauthors collected novel panel data leveraging recent judicial reforms in Mexico to find out! #ecprgc25
We now have an amazing room for the rest of #ecprgc25! And just now we have an even more amazing presentation by @henrikbentsen.bsky.social on how introducing AI in sentencing decisions influence perceptions of fairness
We continue our #ecprgc25 panel on AI in courts with a great paper by Hartmut Aden on the use of digital evidence in court proceedings!
Ondřej Kadlec with a great #ecprgc25 paper on how digitalization influences judicial governance!
