🚨New paper, from @MCBRIDEPAULINE and me:

"Argument by numbers: the normative impact of statistical legal tech"

Forthcoming in a Communitas special issue on normativity.

Preprint on SocArXiv: osf.io/preprints/soca… Image We argue that the ways that machine learning mediates how law is done -- according to statistical notions of relevance or optimality -- ultimately affect what law *is*.
