About Res Ipsa Machina

Res Ipsa Machina publishes rigorous, readable writing on artificial intelligence and the law: short analysis pieces, long-form treatises, and dialogues between people who disagree — plus a weekly roundup of the developments worth your time.

We write for young practitioners and law students. AI is remaking doctrine faster than the casebooks can follow — agency, liability, copyright, speech, the practice of law itself. Our aim is to map that ground carefully: primary sources, close reading, arguments you can cite, and no hype in either direction.

This is a curated publication, not an open platform. Every piece is commissioned or accepted by the editors and edited before it runs. If you would like to contribute, see Write for Us — we read every pitch.
