He teaches Philosophy of Law across multiple programs including both the School of Legal, Economic and Social Sciences and the School of Human Sciences and Cultural Heritage, as well as specialized courses such as Legal Reasoning and Cognitive Science, Logic and Legal Methodology, and Global Justice.

His research interests span several interconnected fields:

• Philosophy of Law and Legal Theory
• Legal Reasoning and Cognitive Science

Brigaglia's scholarly output reveals a consistent focus on the psychological and cognitive dimensions of legal reasoning, with particular attention to constitutive rules, normative judgment, and the philosophical foundations of legal order. His work increasingly explores the implications of artificial intelligence for legal reasoning and justice, as seen in his recent publications on predictive justice and algorithmic bias. He maintains an active engagement with contemporary philosophers like Bruno Celano and José Juan Moreso while building on the legacy of Italian legal theory.

Professor Brigaglia has contributed significantly to edited volumes and special journal issues, often serving as curator for collections on human rights, legal reasoning, and contemporary legal theory. His scholarly approach demonstrates a commitment to interdisciplinary work that connects traditional legal philosophy with insights from cognitive science and psychology, creating a distinctive research program that bridges theoretical and practical dimensions of legal thought.
