How to write a good literature review?

A lit. review is not a summary. It's a conversation w/ other scholars. It's an unfinished product & you should never fall in love w/ it. Valuable lessons from @sergioverdugor @ielawschool #iconswritingschool. A 🧵 (I) Image (II) When writing the literature review of an article, never copy paste it from your PhD thesis. Don't summarize it or recycle it to fit a new article. Each article is a new scholarly engagement and the literature review is a conversation between you & other scholars.

New 🚨:'Smart Public Law' w/ @UniLUISS @chrisiaio. We joined forces to inquire into the role of automation in the public sector: Does automation fit existing pp of good administration & admin discretion? How about decentralization w/ smart contracts?

ijpl.eu/archive/2021/i… (II) We argue that automation doesn't fit well w/ the existing principles of good administration because they're originally limit human discretion & mistakes that inherently human. W/ automation & decentralization, admin law needs to adapt to new challenges & be rethought

What should non-lawyers (or young legal scholars) working on tech read to better understand how to regulate AI, data, etc? Drawing on my experience teaching non-lawyers, here's a 🧵 w/some introductory references to law and regulation for tech scholars (I) (1) Best book out there to start is: @mireillemoret, Law for Computer Scientists and Other Folk,
global.oup.com/academic/produ…; (2) @ARLodder & Anja Oskamp, Introduction: Law, Information Technology, and Artificial Intelligence, ssrn.com/abstract=13120…

2 of my PhDs work on AI, transparency in the public sector asked me for a *must-read* list in EN to better understand the imperatives of Admin L. Though far from exhaustive but probably useful to others (also non-lawyers), I'm sharing the list in a 🧵(I) 1. It may sound old-fashioned but I advise my PhDs to read AV Dicey's The Law of the Constitution (and the some recent articles reviewing it); 2. @OrlyLobel The Renew Deal, scholarship.law.umn.edu/mlr/663/ to understand the shift from traditional admin law &regulation to governance.
