Dr Sylvie Delacroix publishes new paper in Oxford Journal Legal Studies
24 July 2017
Dr Sylvie Delacroix, Reader in Legal Theory and Ethics at MyAV·¶ Faculty of Laws and MyAV·¶ Computer Science, has recently published a new paper on âLaw and Habitsâ in the Oxford Journal Legal Studies
Dr Sylvie Delacroix said:
âIn comparison to the well-documented importance of habit in the processes by which we come to acquire the âethical know-howâ that notably shapes our identity as professionals, the no-less important capacity to break free of habit gets far less attention.
Yet living an ethical life demands that we sometimes stand at odds with the usual. This paper calls for renewed attention to be paid to the full spectrum of habits (from `mereâ tics to reflective habits) and the role they play in shaping legal practice.â
