Great to be in Prague for the European Law Abound Conference at Charles University.

I presented a paper co-authored with Prof. Piotr Tuleja on informal institutions in the Polish Constitutional Tribunal.

A pleasure to meet so many friends and colleagues!

A trip to Dubrovnik (Croatia). Sea, waves, and a pen. I am starting to really enjoy "computer-free" academic writing.

Today, I presented my paper “Zugzwang Court Unpacking,” analyzing cyclical court packing through a case study of the Mexican jurisdiction at the #ECPR2025 in @ecpr-law-courts.bsky.social

Excellent feedback from @johank76.mastodon.nu.ap.brid.gy (discussant) and the rest of the participants.

Proud to be featured in Chronicles of Silesian Science 2024. My project on supermajority rules in constitutional courts, funded by EEA Grants, was a big adventure.

Silesia has become special for me. It has given me an academic home and new friendships.
