I have known Helyeh as a principled and proud young scholar, far from home. She faced death threats and harassment from online mobs. I ask you to imagine...

We are profoundly concerned about the...

We can, however, pass along one certainty about the year ahead: it will be replete with excellent LPE scholarship. So stop doom-scrolling and close the cross-tabs.

]]> (Some of) the Best Recent Global LPE and LPE-Adjacent Scholarship https://lpeproject.org/blog/some-of-the-best-recent-global-lpe-and-lpe-adjacent-scholarship/ Tue, 15 Oct 2024 11:00:00 +0000 https://lpeproject.org/?p=10845 As loyal readers may recall, we’ve made an effort in recent years to highlight some of the best forthcoming LPE and LPE-adjacent scholarship. However, since those compilations are tied to the US Law Review cycle and focus on accepted-but-not-yet-published pieces, they tend to exclude most global LPE scholarship.
