Pleased to have this be my lasting legacy to legal scholarship.

Bonus points for getting to spend some time in the magical Tilburg woods.

I was grateful for the chance to think about how dramaturgy plays out in my work: as a way to stage legal thought, as a means of bringing life into law, and as a training mechanism to practice the increasingly difficult task of repair.

Through conversations that ranged from walking and letter-writing as legal method, to the protocols of official wear at international courts, we found a range of entry points to talk about how we train ourselves to notice law, and what it might take to notice differently. (5/n)

The workshop prompted participants to ask how we are oriented towards the various sources of international law, and how we bring them to life within our professional work. (4/n)

These questions of orientation and genre are often relegated to the margins of legal scholarship. What a joy then to spend a day watching them take centre-stage at this wonderful workshop convened by @riclements.bsky.social and Alex Dela Cruz. (3/n)

- these orientations affect the voices we choose to listen to and the causes we consider worth fighting/ thinking/ writing about. Conversely, how we narrate our work affects how it is received: style and form are inextricably linked to the content of our thoughts. (2/n)

almost, but then it made it stronger ...

Oh wow, absolutely!

Aw that’s lovely. I hope we can all have coffee and say nice things about each other together sometime :)

Hi Sandra! Check out orinam.net which is a really excellent archival source for your questions.

Oh wow I *love* that. Chucking it in the list.

Yeah that communal vibe is where I’m stuck with trying to find the right example.
Meanwhile “Yarnheads at the Rave” - I cannot get over what a great title this is??

On point 1 - love that, chucking it in my list.
On point 2 - it indicates that you and I are basically the same person …
