Jeffrey A. Pojanowski (Notre Dame Law School) has posted St. John Henry Newman's Development of Doctrine and Law: Some Preliminary Notes and Questions (2024 Harvard Journal of Law and Public Policy: Per Curiam 36.) on SSRN. Here is the abstract:
This essay, presented at a conference at the Catholic University of America's Columbus School of Law, considers how Newman's theory of development of church doctrine can illuminate the development of human law. The argument, which focuses primarily on constitutional law and tradition, identifies promising parallels but also offers cautionary notes about straightforward analogies between the two bodies of doctrine.
