Excited to share a new publication by our PhD fellow Leonora Staerfeldt in the special issue of @recieljournal.bsky.social!

The article conceptualises the relational and material co-composition of law / infrastructure.

It stems from a fantastic project by Nora Stappert, @whamiltonbyrne.bsky.social, @tgammeltoft.bsky.social on legal infrastructures.
