Hermeneutical injustice and the computational turn in law

In our fifth online-first article (March 2021), Emilie van den Hoven argues that the epistemic opacity that characterises the systems that comprise computational 'law' threatens us with ever-greater 'hermeneutical injustices': constraints on our ability as citizens to make sense of the law, and to account for its place in our lives, which in turn threaten the dignitarian underpinnings of the rule of law.
