He holds a BA from Oxford, an LLM from Georgetown, a PhD from Cambridge, and an MTh from Lund. A licensed NY Attorney, he has held visiting positions at Harvard, Malta University, Leuven University, and Münster University.

His research interests include legal rituals, quantum computing’s legal implications, and the ethical dimensions of law. He critiques norm conflicts in international law and examines legal dilemmas through interdisciplinary lenses. Recent work engages with Carl Schmitt’s theories, sovereignty in crises, and the role of empathy in military legal standards.

Jeutner’s publications span legal theory, technology law, and historical jurisprudence. His 2024 works on legal rituals and sovereignty, 2023 analysis of empathy in military ethics, and 2021 studies on quantum computing and law demonstrate cross-disciplinary innovation. His 2020 articles address legal dilemmas and norm conflicts, offering frameworks for resolving ius cogens disputes.
