EJELS just published this paper by the eminent Jon Kåre Skiple and myself:
"Bringing Rights Back Home? How Judges Handle Multilayered Constitutional and International Human Rights Laws on the Supreme Court of Norway"

I argue that the Court is helped to avoid resistance through a series of resilience mechanisms. Some are unintentional, manifesting through the cases arriving at the docket of the Court; others are intentional, with the Court substantially adapting its decision-making and curating its relationship with national courts.
In addition to the PDF available from the EUI repository, I have also made the thesis freely available as an ebook:

If the Court of Justice of the European Union is, as is often argued, the most powerful international court the world has seen, why is serious resistance against it not more commonplace?
This is the question I ask in my PhD thesis, which I successfully defended at the #EUI last Friday. Today it has been made available open access through the university repository!

Interested in studying the European Court of Justice using empirical methods, but not sure how to get started? Look no further! ⚖️
I have written an introductory guide to studying the work of the #CJEU using #rstats, guiding you through all the steps from downloading the data to producing figures such as the ones attached (using #ggplot2). 📈

@Tom_Pavone and @rdanielkelemen's newest paper, "Where Have the Guardians Gone", is out now in World Politics!
It answers a (for some of us) pressing question: What in the world became of #EUCommission infringement procedures lodged to the #CJEU after 2004?
It's a great read and an incredibly thorough piece of research, invaluable for anyone trying to make sense of the Commission's litigation strategy.

After years of work, the #CJEU Database Platform is finally launched in the #Cambridge Journal of Law and Courts!
The database contains among other things all decisions, judges, and submissions to the #ECJ and General Court of the #EU, and is open for use by researchers, students, practitioners, or anyone interested. Have a look!
