Yuksel Calli has posted Law Without an Owner: Legal Form, Legal Performance, and the Horizon of a Shared Law on SSRN. Here is the abstract:
Modern regimes rarely disavow legality. Even where courts are weak and remedies unreliable, official language continues to affirm the “rule of law.” This paper explains that persistence by separating legal form (texts, institutions, and self-description) from legal performance (predictability, access, reasons, and remedy). It argues that contemporary law can become “ownerless”: universally demanded as legitimacy, yet experienced as diffusely delivered and weakly owned in responsibility for performance. Human rights are treated not as moral decoration but as performance architecture-conditions under which law is meaningful. The paper then reframes a shared-law ambition as a structured horizon: universal minima and normto-remedy connectors coexisting with plural variation beyond the core. The UDHR is read as proto-constitutional global language, but insufficient without connectors. Finally, AI is positioned narrowly as cartography that can map connector failures without becoming a substitute sovereign.
