Research

We published a few new research pieces from the first half of 2022, including:

• A working paper on “Existential Advocacy” by John Bliss, a year-long qualitative study of the emerging legal longtermist community.

• A paper on “Value Alignment for Advanced Artificial Judicial Intelligence” by Christoph Winter, Nick Hollman, and David Manheim that is forthcoming in the American Philosophical Quarterly.

• A new upcoming chapter of our research agenda on “Extreme Climate Change” by Daniel Bertram (PhD Researcher, European University Institute, and former LPP Summer Research Fellow)

• The three winning entries of our writing competition:

  • “Catastrophic Risk, Uncertainty, and Agency Analysis” by Alasdair Phillips-Robins (Judicial Law Clerk at the US Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit)

  • “Catastrophic Uncertainty and Regulatory Impact Analysis” by Prof. Danel Farber (UC Berkeley, Faculty Director, Center for Law, Energy, & the Environment)

  • “Catastrophic Risk Review” by Prof. Michael Livermore (University of Virginia, Director, Program in Law, Communities and the Environment)

We also plan to publish further updates to our research agenda later this year and are soliciting feedback. You can send us your feedback suggestions to hello@legalpriorities.org.
