DESCRIPTION:Struggles for recognition often concern not only the right to b
e heard but also to be believed. A recurrent criticism of criminal justice
systems in Germany and elsewhere holds that the testimonies of some witne
ss groups such as alleged victims of sexual offenses are not adequately be
lieved. This criticism raises worries about the legitimacy of criminal pro
cedures and should not be dismissed as mere empirical matters. One of the
most influential theories in contemporary philosophy\, Miranda Fricker's a
ccount of epistemic injustice\, explores forms of injustice which persons
may be exposed to in the production of knowledge and in giving testimony.
The account provides a philosophical lens for analyzing German criminal pr
ocedural law. In particular\, the talk examines the claim that epistemic j
ustice may and should be considered an implicit principle of criminal proc
edural law\, with implications for two case examples: the presumption
of falsity of witness statements\, established in a landmark decision by t
he German Federal Court of Justice over twenty years ago\, as well as th
e way the justice system addresses specific group-based biases in judicial
reasoning such as racial bias. Both suggest legal reforms.\nSpeaker: Dr.
Jan Christoph Bublitz (University of Hamburg)

DESCRIPTION:A dominant theme in criminal law theory is that censure and pun
ishment are appropriate only insofar as they are proportional responses to
culpable actions. The problem is that much of existing criminal law does
not fit this model. A number of responses to this mismatch have been propo
sed. Perhaps the criminal law should be reformed to match the theory\; per
haps we can do more to understand how even violations of mala prohibita of
fenses are culpable\; perhaps we need to take this connection as aspiratio
nal but not strictly binding\; or perhaps we should recognize that the con
nection between punishment and culpable actions is just a misguided ideolo
gical fixation—in truth\, we are better off using a utilitarian concepti
on of the criminal law\, according to which it is just a tool to be used t
o deter potential criminal action and incapacitate potential criminals in
whatever way best serves society. I reject all of these options and defend
a different account. I argue that the criminal justice system draws on tw
o normative frameworks. Criminal law properly conceived calls for and lice
nses censure and punishment\, but only insofar as they are proportional re
sponses to culpable actions. Penal law operates as a complement to crimina
l law. It is not responsive (at least not in the same way) to the culpabil
ity of action\, and it grounds no censure. But it allows for penalties tha
t exceed those that would be proportional to the culpability of an action
(and certainly than those that fit Ordnungswidrigkeiten). It is als
o responsive to\, in ways the criminal law is not\, the benefits of incapa
citating the dangerous. It can do these things because it operates on a se
parate basis: not retributive response to culpable action but fair forfeit
ure of the right not to be penalized. These two foundations can be harmoni
zed to provide a normative account of the criminal justice system that fit
s the law reasonably well but still has some revisionist force.\nVideo: wi

DESCRIPTION:The ‘Big Data Revolution’ has allowed accumulating signific
ant amounts of statistical data covering all areas of life. Such data can
have high probative value in legal trials. Still\, courts in and outside t
he UK have been ambivalent about the possibility of making legal judge
ments based solely on statistics. The presentation will seek to
uncover the root of this ambivalence\, and to suggest that it highlights a
fundamental connection between practical normativity and epistemic normat
ivity. The argument will be that a Razian concept of respect for persons p
rovides reasons against legal judgments of liability based solely on stati
stics. This is because statistics logically bar the elimination of the ris
k of error\, and relatedly\, they cannot justify belief in the availabilit
y of reasons to make a judgment of liability. The presentation will furthe
r seek to demonstrate that the argument carries over to non-legal spheres
in which the Razian notion of respect plays a role. The UK’s attempt to
determine A-level grades algorithmically during the Covid-19 pandemic prov
ides an example.\nVideo: with video podcast (link within this webpage)

DESCRIPTION:Legal hermeneutics could be deemed a broader notion than just l
egal interpretation. When legal practitioners cope with the law\, they oft
en do much more than merely interpret it. Arguably\, they engage in legal
construction\, apply the law to a case at hand\, and exercise discretion.
In this spirit\, the workshop aims to take this more comprehensive perspec
tive of legal hermeneutics seriously by inviting its participants to add
ress these various hermeneutic activities in legal adjudication.

DESCRIPTION:The rule of law\, once widely embraced and emulated\, now faces
serious threats to its viability. To get our bearings we must return to f
irst principles. Law’s Rule: The Nature\, Value\, and Viability of the R
ule of Law articulates and defends a coherent\, comprehensive\, and co
mpelling conception of the rule of law and defends it against serious chal
lenges to its intelligibility\, relevance\, and normative force. In this l
ecture\, Postema will sketch the basic outlines of this conception and the
values it serves. The rule of law’s ambition\, he will argue\, is to pr
ovide protection and recourse against the arbitrary exercise of power usin
g the distinctive tools of the law. Law provides a bulwark of protection\,
a bridle on the powerful\, and a bond constituting and holding together t
he polity and giving public expression to an ideal mode of association. Tw
o principles immediately follow from this core: sovereignty of law\, deman
ding that those who exercise ruling power govern with law and that law gov
erns them\, and equality in the eyes of the law\, demanding that law’s p
rotection extend to all who are bound by it. Animating law’s rule\, the
ethos of fidelity commits all members of the political community to take r
esponsibility for holding each other accountable under the law. The moral
foundation of this demanding ideal lies in a commitment to common membersh
ip of each person in this community\, recognizing their freedom\, dignity\
, and status as peers. The lecture will consider the relationship between
democracy\, human rights\, and the rule of law and will conclude with thou
ghts on some of the most serious threats to the viability of law’s rule.

DESCRIPTION:Just war theorising has undergone a renaissance inspired by the
ground-breaking work of Jeff McMahan. Central to the new orthodoxy is the
claim that self-defence is a right that can justify a right to inflict ha
rm on unlawful aggressors. Crucially\, this is a right to inflict harm ava
ilable to both the victim and others even if these others are not harmed o
r threatened. This talk explores how this view of just war as self-defence
justifying a right to harm is based on a misunderstanding of how self-def
ence works in criminal law. This alternative view understands self-defence
as a kind of defence\, such as duress\, which might provide an excuse for
wrongs and not a justification to do wrong. The talk examines the consequ
ences for just war theorising\, such as whether understanding just war as
excused sets a higher threshold for justification.\nSpeaker: Prof. Thom Br

DESCRIPTION:The fields of criminal sentencing and punishment have continu
ously been confronted with complex societal\, ethical\, and legal challeng
es. While some of these challenges have existed for decades\, notably over
-punishment and the over-representation of marginalized groups within the
purview of punishment\, others have more recently emerged from novel devel
opments within society and policy\, such as the rise of Artificial Intelli
gence and the employment of modern science and new technologies in crimina
l justice\, which warrant further analysis. Against this backdrop\, this w
orkshop brings legal scholars from different jurisdictions together to dis
cuss novel perspectives and alternative models addressing important diac
hronic issues and current questions within these fields. The talks will pr
ovide a broad analysis of current debates that surround the state of the a
rt and future of sentencing\, including its theoretical goals\, principles
\, and factors\, its implications for different groups of defendants and t
ypes of offenses\, and the concrete potential of empirical and cross-disci
plinary knowledge to aid in sentencing authorities. The overall goal is to
offer a forum for discussing the dynamics\, shortcomings\, and comparativ
e significance of modern sentencing trends and sanction models\, with spec
ial focus on the aspects that are most in need of reform.

y incomplete. The deeper explanations are four features of American histor
y and culture that shaped values\, attitudes\, and beliefs and produced a
political culture in which suffering is fatalistically accepted and policy
makers are largely indifferent to individual injustices. The four element
s are the history of American race relations\, the evolution of Protestant
fundamentalism\, local election of judges and prosecutors\, and the conti
nuing influence of political and social values that emerged during three c
enturies of Western expansion. The last\, encapsulated in Frederick Jackso
n Turner’s “frontier thesis\,” is interwoven with the other three. T
ogether\, they explain long-term characteristics of American criminal just
ice and the extraordinary severity of penal policies and practices since t
he 1970.\nSpeaker: Prof. Michael Tonry (Affiliate Researcher of the Max Pl

DESCRIPTION:Conceptual engineering aims to replace imprecise\, misleading\,
or contradictory concepts with more accurate ones. Rather than asking how
a concept is being used\, it questions whether it is right to use it that
way. It offers a new way of understanding many of our disagreements: even
when we mean different things by the words we argue about\, we don’t al
ways talk past each other. Sometimes\, we engage in a fundamental dispute
about what these words ought to mean\, and by extension\, about the best w
ay to describe reality.

DESCRIPTION:A now-familiar thought (associated with the idea of “strong A
I”) that in the not-too-distant future\, AI may come to far surpass huma
ns’ general cognitive capacities. Some famously worry that such AI pose
an existential risk to humans\, either due to indifference to human aims o
r a hostility to humans. This paper focuses on a different cluster of ques
tions: a series of questions in the foundations of ethics raised by the po
ssibility that we ask AI to engage in evaluative reasoning (e.g.\,
about what is good and bad\, right and wrong\, etc.). There is a natural e
pistemic motive for asking strong AI to engage in evaluative reasoning: on
e might hope that strong AI could help us to make progress in addressing p
ersistent evaluative controversies. However\, suppose that strong AIs conv
erge on evaluative conclusions that we are independently inclined to oppos
e. For example\, AI might come to anti-anthropocentric evaluative c
onclusions (two examples: maybe they really prioritize certain cognitive c
apacities in their evaluations\, treating us the way we treat mosquitos\;
or maybe they don’t\, treating the interests of insects as on a p
ar with that of highly rational beings). Alternatively\, AI might come to
radically consequentialist conclusions\, that portray the evaluativ
e significance of\, e.g.\, our relations to our projects and loved ones as
easily swamped. We take such dissatisfaction with (by hypothesis) epistem
ically highly credible evaluative conclusions to raise important questions
about our attitudes towards the evaluative\, even if we assume a strong s
ort of realism about evaluative thought and talk. It is familiar for metae
thical antirealists to ask the question “why care about evaluative prope
rties?” on the supposition that realism is true. And they often argue th
at this is a reason to reject realism. However\, we think that the sorts o
f possibility we are canvassing instead makes salient two other ways of th
inking about alienation from evaluative standards. First\, it could push u
s to a conceptual ethics conclusion that we ought to adopt other (p
erhaps: more anthropocentric) evaluative concepts. Second\, it might inste
ad push us toward a deep alienation from the evaluative: that is\, we migh
t simply embrace that the our existing evaluative concepts capture what re
ally and truly matters\, and find that we simply don’t want our lives or
world to be structured by what really and truly matters\, if it involves
sufficient sacrifice of what we care about. In light of these issues\, we
then reflect on how to best think about what “the” alignment problem i
n AI really is\, suggesting that there are in fact multiple different “a
lignment” problems that are worth wrestling with\, and that it is a diff
icult evaluative question which one to prioritize in thinking about AI eth
ics\, and why.\nCo-author: Tristram McPherson

DESCRIPTION:Change notice: Lecture is CANCELLED\; a new date will be commun
icated in due course\nThe lecture pursues two goals. First\, Christian Bum
ke aims to compare how German legal doctrine and a pluralistic approach\,
known as the “New Private Law Theory” in the USA\, can be used to thin
k about and work with the law. Bumke will argue that\, while there are con
siderable differences between the two\, they can be understood as two vari
ants of the same general approach towards legal scholarship\, which he cal
ls “conceptual legal scholarship”. His second goal consists in develop
ing a reflection on methodology. For this purpose\, he examines the diff
erences within conceptual legal scholarship. He wishes to show that ve
ry different academic activities are pursued both within legal doctrine an
d New Private Law scholarship. Bumke will make a distinction between two d
ifferent types of conceptual legal scholarship. On the one hand\, there ar
e approaches that aim to explain a certain legal phenomenon\; on the other
hand\, one finds approaches that aim to understand the law’s normative
content. He will argue that differentiating between the two perspectives i
s important because they respond to different expectations and have to con
form to different standards.\nSpeaker: Prof. Dr. Christian Bumke

etween Member States’ legal traditions are being constructed\, addre
ssed\, and resolved in the development of the European Area of Freedom\, S
ecurity\, and Justice. It will explore some of the paths that may be follo
wed by the EU in seeking to cope with national diversity in the field of c
riminal justice\, and provides some insights into various forms of legal
and cultural resistance offered by Member States to the European harmoniz
ation process. The lecture is held against the background that the expandi
ng ambitions of the European Union on criminal matters have been met wit
h increasing hostility to deeper European integration. This sheds light on
the growing potential for conflict between ever expanding EU law on the o
ne hand and national legal traditions on the other\, while EU primary law
emphasizes the need to accommodate national diversity within the European
framework.\nSpeaker: Dr. Renaud Colson

DESCRIPTION:Interpretive practices of courts and other adjudicative bodies
indicate that the law of any community comprises not only (i) an explicit
part that consists of enactments\, judicial decisions\, and settled legal
practices\, but also (ii) an implicit part which judges rely on in adjudic
ating novel issues not addressed by any part of the explicit law. Legal po
sitivists have in general been resistant to recognizing implicit law\, whi
le natural law theorists have conceived implicit law in moralized terms. B
oth views appear to be discredited when checked against considered interpr
etative judgments. This lecture broaches a new way of conceiving implicit
law by exploiting two analogies: (i) an analogy between implicit law and i
mplied fictional truths – i.e. what are true in a work of fiction but ar
e not explicitly specified as such by the author or artist\; and (ii) an a
nalogy between the interpretive principles that we rely on to generate imp
lied fictional truths (what are often called “principles of generation
” in philosophical aesthetics)\, and the principles that we rely on to c
onstruct counterfactual scenarios for a variety of purposes – e.g. in ex
plaining and predicting each other’s thoughts and behavior\, in our back
ward-looking moral emotions such as regret and relief. The two aforementio
ned analogical arguments suggest that the principles we rely on to generat
e implicit law are deep-seated and fundamental features of our psychologic
al makeup. The overall implication that this paper teases out is that the
implicit law of any legal system is neither a set of moral principles as n
atural law theorists argue\, nor a set of principles that we agree on or m
anufacture as legal positivists conceive laws in general. Instead of being
a product of human making\, the implicit law of any legal system i
s likely a product of human makeup.\nSpeaker: Prof. Dr. Kevin Toh

DESCRIPTION:The problem of outcome responsibility\, in criminal law\, is th
e problem of providing a normative foundation for criminal-law practices t
hat make outcomes relevant to criminal liability and sentencing – someti
mes (as in the law of attempts) with relevant differences between intended
and negligently-risked outcomes. My talk develops a conception of agency
that can provide theoretical underpinning for these practices. As a firs
t step\, I defend the widely accepted view that producing an outcome (eith
er as an intended or as a negligently-unlucky one) makes a difference: s
o long as the outcome can be imputed to the agent\, it qualifies what the
agent is responsible for. The object of assessment (“what D has done”)
changes from “X activity” (minus the outcome) to “X activity with o
utcome”. Potentially much more contentious is the second step in my argu
ment: the claim that how the outcome matters for our responsibility is aff
ected by the question whether the outcome is the product of our intentions
or whether it is the product of risks we have negligently created. This
analysis explains many contentious features of the criminal law. However\
, it puts pressure on the justification for outcome-dependent crimes of ne
gligence as such. For how can\, on the assumption that we have a much less
tight connection to negligently-risked outcomes than to intended ones\, t
he criminal law’s practice of making the occurrence of the outcome the
linchpin for most offences of criminal negligence\, be defended?\n2G rule

DESCRIPTION:Good fences make good neighbours. The “naturalistic fallacy
” is a particularly solid fence. It not only claims that the normative d
isciplines need not worry about facts. It would actually be a category e
rror if they care. Although at its core the law is a normative disciplin
e\, it has not always been that hostile towards facts. But it used to have
a rather loose attitude towards empirics. Often\, any factual statement
“that matters” has been accepted as a legitimate element of legal re
asoning. A social scientist would likely disagree. A factual claim is not
the same as empirical evidence\, most importantly since correlation is n
ot causation. Criminology defines itself as the social science concerned w
ith crime and punishment. This invites a division of labour: to the extent
that a normative conclusion in the area of criminal law rests on an empir
ical claim\, it is for criminology to deliver the evidence. Yet what count
s as evidence? To a relevant degree\, this is not only a question of epist
emology. It also is a matter of disciplinary culture. Historically\, crimi
nology defines itself as applied sociology. This historical root is a prod
uctive one. But it has led the discipline to largely ignore an important
source of evidence: experiments under the controlled conditions of the la
b. Interestingly\, in empirical legal studies\, this method is much more e
stablished than in criminology\, despite the fact that empirical legal stu
dies are much more recent. The talk will explain why lab experiments could
be helpful for criminology\, and accordingly for the empirical grounding
of criminal law\, and will illustrate the power with experiments on crime
and punishment.\n2G rules/hybrid session: 2G rules will apply in the semin

DESCRIPTION:In a leading ruling on the standard of proof\, the Fede
ral Court of Justice stated in 1970 that judges must be convinced to a
“degree of certainty” that need not quite be “beyond all reas
onable doubt” but should go beyond a mere “probability bor
dering on certainty.” The former is not required by the law of
evidence\; the latter is not sufficient (Ruling of the Feder
al Court of Justice in Civil Cases [BGHZ] 53\, 245 ff.). From an epist
emological point of view\, clarification is needed as to w
hether a doxastic approach fits into this narrow construct. Th
e BGH ruling refers to “conviction”\, the “truth of an asser
tion”\, and the required “degree of certainty”\, but it does
not address the concept of knowledge\, in which these ele
ments converge and are related to each other. In epistemolog
y\, it is disputed whether or not human fallibility\,
which is irrevocable\, can be reconciled with the assumptio
n that humans are capable of acquiring knowledge. The lecture
outlines the tenets of a fallibilistic concept of knowledge
and compares the challenge of determining a sufficient level
for the standard of evidence to the epistemological chall
enge of reconciling “to err is human” with the claim to know
ledge.\nSpeaker: Prof. Dr. Geert Keil (Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin)

DESCRIPTION: Immigration enforcement is increasingly dependent on local cri
minal justice authorities\, and yet basic questions on the criminal case p
rocessing of non-U.S. citizens in state and local jurisdictions remain una
nswered. Leveraging uniquely rich case information on all felony arrests i
n California and Texas between 2006 and 2018\, this article provides a det
ailed examination of the legal treatment of non-U.S. citizens from booking
through sentencing. In both states\, we find that non-U.S. citizens arres
ted for the same crime and with the same prior record are significantly mo
re likely to be convicted and incarcerated than U.S. citizens. These unexp
lained citizenship gaps often exceed the observed disparities between whit
e and minority defendants\, but the results were not identical in both sta
tes. In line with the more rigid views towards migrant criminality in Texa
s\, the case processing of foreign nationals is notably more severe there
than in California at nearly every key decision point. These findings sugg
est that even in local criminal justice settings\, citizenship is a unique
and consequential axis of contemporary legal inequality.\n VIDEO: with vi

DESCRIPTION:Greater socioeconomic inequality is assoc
iated with higher crime rates. If this association is cau
sal\, it is unclear how the population-level variable\,
inequality\, affects decisions to offend in indivi
duals’ heads. I will present a recent theoretical model in
which individuals strive to remain their resources above a
threshold of desperation that is set by their social conte
xt. Greater inequality means more individuals who are
at or below this threshold. It becomes rational for them to of
fend as a risky strategy to leap clear of it. This produces
a link between population-level inequality and indi
vidual decision-making. Moreover\, we show that incre
asing punishment severity under these assumpti
ons should not generally expected to reduce offending. I
present a framework for studying the assumptions and pr
edictions of the model in a multi-player incentivized ec
onomic game. Preliminary data are consistent with the
predictions of the model. However\, they are also consis
tent with simpler but still relevant hypotheses that do not us
e the assumption of a desperation threshold\, such as th
at loss compared to some mental reference point leads to frus
tration and anger. We are currently attempting to test bet
ween these alternatives. We hope that the experiment
al framework\, regardless of which way the results fall out\, is
useful for understanding antisocial motivations.\

DESCRIPTION:This talk approaches core issues in contemporary legal philosop
hy from a sociologically informed standpoint. It begins by positioning soc
iological approaches in relation to legal philosophy\, and then discusses\
, in turn\, sociological jurisprudence (including holism and historicism)\
, law as an artifact\, and the social construction of law. Critical commen
ts are welcome on this draft essay.\nSpeaker: Prof. Brian Tamanaha (John S

DESCRIPTION:Many countries are in a process of replacing outda
ted sex offense regulations with laws that accuratel
y correspond to modern ideas about gender equality\, sexua
l self-determination\, and consensual sex. One example
is Sweden\, where a law that defines rape based on a crite
rion of nonvoluntary participation entered int
o force in 2018. This lecture presents an analysis of how rape
is understood in the new legal discourse in Sweden\, and I sh
ow that rape is presented as a matter of choice and communi
cation in sexual situations. I argue that the new rape l
aw sends a clear message about what sex should be — nam
ely\, voluntary — but does not accurately describe
the crime and the behavior that deserves crimina
l censure. I conclude that a lesson from Sweden is that futu
re rape law reforms may benefit from empirical knowledge
of how people communicate in sexual situations.\nSpea

DESCRIPTION:According to the standard view of rights\, rights are not absol
ute. Sometimes\, to save some\, it is permissible to do things that would
normally violate rights but that\, under the circumstances\, merely infrin
ge them. The function of rights\, on this standard view\, is at most to ra
ise a kind of moral barrier to their neglect. Moreover\, even if an agent
has sufficient moral reason to get over that barrier\, she will presumably
have wronged the right-holder. The only way\, according to the standard t
heory\, to do what would normally wrong a right holder\, without actually
wronging the person\, is if she has waived or forfeited her right. I will
argue that much of this standard picture is wrong. I argue for a different
model—the mechanics of claims—according to which rights are the outpu
t of a balance of claims\, an output which describes what is ultimately pe
rmissible. Rights infringement is\, on this view\, a misleading\, morally
distorting idea. Rather\, we need to focus on how different kinds of claim
s interact\, and what makes claims stronger or weaker. Forfeiture is only
part of that picture\, a part that is over-emphasized in the standard view
. As for the state\, I will argue that through its law-making and regulato
ry power\, it has an important role in fixing certain kinds of substantive
rights. It sets\, within limits\, what count as legitimate expectations.
Nonetheless\, the state’s power is substantially limited by substantive
rights. Although the state has certain unique powers\, it remains an agent
confronting other agents in a space of rights. It is within this framewor
k that I argue we should think carefully about when defensive force may pe
rmissibly be used.\nSpeaker: Prof. Dr. Alec D. Walen (Rutgers School of Ar
