Thank you for visiting The Empty City substack, the name of which is explained here.
The commentary at this substack is about law and the polity, and it is written from a critical and practical (and usually liberal and constitutionalist) perspective.
In particular, this substack is about how things work and do not work in law and policy - and about how laws and policies are made, and about how cases end up in court. This substack also seeks to place things in historical and international contexts.
Many of the posts here are cross-posted to and from my law and policy blog.
There is also original content for this substack, including content which is only available to paying subscribers and other patr(e)ons.
This substack was previously called “law and lore”.
