Amicus Curiae Series 2, Volume 7, Issue 3 Summer 2026 is now published

We are delighted to announce that Amicus Curiae, Series 2, Volume 7, Issue 3, has now been published. This issue was edited by Professor Pablo Cortés, University of Leicester, who is one of Amicus Curiae’s team of three Co-editors.

The issue opens with an article by Michael Murphy which is the second in a series of three on the topic of Relational Legal Pluralism. It is followed by a contribution from Harry  Meliniotis in which he poses the question of whether the use of AI in construction disputes can constitute legitimate adjudication. Faye F Wang’s article then builds on an earlier study by the same author on using online dispute resolution simulation in the law curriculum, after which Lydia Kitchen examines whether the legalization of medical cannabis in 2018 has resulted in patients equitably accessing the treatment. We close the articles section with Jennifer Dadzie’s two-part contribution: a comparative analysis of corporate insolvency legislation in Ghana and the UK.

The remainder of the issue comprises a Special Section – Justice on Display: Law, Image and Popular Culture, edited by Paolo Vargiu, with contributions from Paolo Addis & Giuseppe Martinico, Megan Johnson, Frans-Willem Korsten, and Persio Tincani. This engaging collection of papers examines how law is made visible  through  popular  culture,  visual narrative, public discourse and legal performance, and  how  these  forms  shape  public  legal  consciousness.
