Per ChatGPT: "Originalists would generally disagree that the absence of listed qualifications for judges means non-humans could constitutionally serve. They believe the founding-era meaning of 'officer' inherently required being human."

@lsolum24 Nov 2025
The Constitution specifies qualifications for President, Vice President, and members of Congress. These qualifications arguably imply that these offices can only be held by humans. But this is not the case with judges and Justices of the Supreme Court.

‘The people are rarely asked to change the Australian Constitution, and when they are, they rarely say yes.’ How, then, should the High Court interpret the Constitution? Here’s an article I actually did write, out now in the Federal Law Review cambridge.org/core/journals/…

This was a joy. It is wonderful to be a part of this Cambridge Hanbook project on comparative statutory interpretation. I am writing a chapter on Canada and the recent "textual turn" in the cases. Thanks for all of your work @dr_lbc @DrNinaBoughey @OrentaOren.

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. Legal Theory Blog is at legaltheoryblog.com. The Legal Theory Lexicon is at legaltheorylexicon.com. Thanks in advance for you help.

Legal Theory Blog

All the theory that fits.

It gets worse. The Deloitte report suspected of using AI contains a fake quote and erroneous citations to one of the leading cases on Robodebt. afr.com//companies/professio…

Deloitte report suspected of containing AI invented quote

Academics have rejected the consultancy’s explanation of previous mistakes, as the discovery adds to suspicions about the use of artificial intelligence.
