In this episode, Valentin Jeutner, Associate Professor of Law at Lund University and Retained Lecturer in Law at Pembroke College, Oxford University, discusses his book "[l]ex machina: unlikely encounters of international law and technology," which is published by Lund University. Jeutner begins by introducing listeners to conceptual legal writing, describing its relationship to conceptual art and conceptual writing. He provides a preliminary taxonomy of conceptual legal writing and explains his own practice of conceptual legal writing. In particular, he reflects on how conceptual legal writing can help readers see legal texts in a new and different light. He also reads a short text composed using a conceptual legal writing method. You can read Jeutner's "Fragmentary Catalogue of Conceptual Legal Writing" here, and his book "The Aesthetic Authority of Law: Experiments with Legal Form" here. Jeutner is on Bluesky.
