6 research trails
When Access Exists Only on Paper
A developing inquiry into the distance between possessing a legal right and being practically able to understand, invoke and enforce it.
ENTER THIS TRAIL →When the Price Is Watching You
A research trail on algorithmic pricing, personalised offers and the point at which the legal inquiry should move from a visible price to the system that produced it.
ENTER THIS TRAIL →Borrowed, but Never Used
A research trail on constitutional ideas borrowed from elsewhere that remain textually present but institutionally dormant, transformed or unable to operate as originally imagined.
ENTER THIS TRAIL →No Fault, No Hearing, No Remedy?
A developing inquiry into automatic director disqualification, institutional default and what procedural fairness requires when legal consequences attach without an individualised hearing.
ENTER THIS TRAIL →When Does a Consumer Stop Being One?

ENTER THIS TRAIL →Can Code Decide in Equity?
A research project on what happens when parties choose a decentralised dispute system—and whether code, crowds or protocols can meaningfully exercise an equitable mandate.
