𝐀𝐝𝐝-𝐎𝐧 𝐍𝐨.𝟑 This also connects to broader work on '𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑐𝑒𝑝𝑡𝑢𝑎𝑙 𝑐ℎ𝑖𝑚𝑒𝑟𝑎𝑠' in causal inference - when complex exposures operate through distinct mechanisms that get wrongly conflated. More on that methodological innovation soon 🧬

𝐀𝐝𝐝-𝐎𝐧 𝐍𝐨.𝟐 I also built a Python package that harmonizes CELEX numbers and European Legal Identifiers (ELIs) - resolving structural inconsistencies that made precise citation analysis nearly impossible. Hoping to improve EU legal research 🐍 (more coming)

𝐀𝐝𝐝-𝐎𝐧 𝐍𝐨.𝟏 Developed a novel citation-alignment measure (LIAC) to capture court responsiveness precisely. Could be useful for anyone comparing legal reasoning between judicial actors 📊 (more coming)

The Apex Court’s Dilemma: Rulemaking Alignment Under Hierarchical and Political Constraints
Under what conditions do apex courts align with lower courts in constructing legal rules? Many theories have modeled how judicial hierarchies influence apex court rulemaking and how these courts adapt...

This suggests informal influence through sophisticated legal reasoning > formal institutional leverage. May require reframing how power operates in multi-level systems and how judges use legal argumentation to navigate political pressures.

Two core findings:
• 1) Contra theory, EU member states influence courts MORE when they lack formal override power - ECJ responds more to legal arguments (-0.174) than credible threats (+0.048).
• 2) Referring court hierarchy fundamentally shapes ECJ behavior - it’s not just background noise.

I’m sorry but who’s gonna strike it down ? SCOTUS? Law only matters insofar courts, legal academics, prosecutors are willing to enforce it.
