juridilises

Juridilises is a term used in contemporary legal scholarship to describe a methodological approach that treats law as a dynamic, interconnected system shaped by information technologies, data infrastructures, and digital platforms.

The core idea is that legal norms/functions are partially defined by their operation within networked ecosystems, requiring analysis of how rules interact with data flows, algorithmic decision-making, and platform governance.

Origin and usage: The term emerged in the late 2010s among scholars exploring digital constitutionalism and cross-border data regimes, and it has been applied to studies of privacy, surveillance, liability, and administrative processes.

Applications and scope: Juridilises is used to examine constitutional safeguards in data protection, liability for automated systems, regulatory sandboxes, and the legitimacy of bite-size governance generated by algorithms.

Criticism and reception: Critics argue that juridilises risks overgeneralizing complex political choices into technocratic narratives and may understate democratic accountability. Proponents say it offers a unifying lens for comparative legal analysis in the digital era.
