Eric Maugendre<p>'Three syntactic patterns appear consistently:<br>• Passive constructions, such as “Data shall be retained,” which avoid naming the actor.<br>• Nominalizations, such as “submission,” which replace verbs like “submit” to obscure who acts.<br>• Instruction templates without subjects, such as “Confirm identity before approval,” which issue commands without specifying any agent.</p><p>'Each of these forms is grammatically acceptable and often institutionally adopted.

A 2nd short #Introduction as I've just shifted servers. I'm a legal academic with a public law background, based in Aberdeen, Scotland. I'm working as an independent researcher (not employed by an institution) on election law, policy & reform in the UK. I've been tweeting about the Elections Act & new #voterID law in the UK & will do some of that here.

#ElectionLaw #VotingRights #PublicLaw #ConstitutionalLaw #Democracy #HumanRightsLaw #ComparativeConstitutions

Hello (again).
I'm Adam. I'm a constitutional lawyer at the University of Liverpool.

I'm particularly interested in
- the limits of parliament's law-making power (yes, I think there are some)
- the scrutiny of delegated legislation (I think it's not done well enough)
- the future of the monarchy (I am sceptical).

*grits teeth* ok so I'm a legal academic at Durham. My research is broadly #sociolegal and #qualitative, and my area is #publiclaw / #constitutionallaw. I focus much more on the non-judicial branches of the state, the #executivebranch and #legislativebranch / #legislatures/ #Parliaments. I'm *particularly* interested in the role of #officials / #civilservice/ #bureaucracy, and the maintenance of ideals in the grubbiness of organisation. I think I've used up my hashtags quota for the year....
