Miquel Martin Casals serves as Professor of Civil Law at the University of Girona's Department of Private Law and Institute of European and Comparative Private Law. Former director of the Institute until 2019, he currently leads the University Master's Degree in Tort Law and contributes to European legal harmonization through multiple expert committees. His institutional roles bridge academic scholarship with practical legal reform initiatives across Spain and the EU. His research focuses on civil liability evolution , tort law modernization , and European private law integration , with recent work examining AI liability frameworks and traffic accident compensation systems. Casals employs comparative methodology across 6 languages to analyze judicial activism versus legislative inertia, particularly in Spanish and Catalan contexts where he helped shape the Civil Code's 'open code' model. Current scholarly trends reveal his leadership in emerging liability domains, especially EU regulatory responses to AI systems and digital-era harm compensation. His 2022-2025 publications demonstrate methodological innovation through real-world case analysis of legal reforms, while maintaining foundational work on the Principles of European Tort Law (PETL). Key honors include: Cross of Honor of Sant Raimon de Penyafort (2015) Election to the International Academy of Comparative Law Membership in the American Law Institute's Restatement projects As principal investigator for 30+ national/international projects since the 1990s, Casals has directed major initiatives like Spain's Expert Commission for Law 35/2015 and Catalonia's Codification Commission. His advisory work extends to EU bodies including ECTIL and IDEC, where he shapes cross-border liability standards. He leads the European Private Law Research Group and maintains active collaboration with the European Group on Civil Liability (EGTL), fostering transnational dialogue through the PETL drafting committee. Current initiatives focus on AI liability working groups and traffic accident scale monitoring commissions.

Jean-Baptiste Amadieu is a CNRS Researcher affiliated with the École Normale Supérieure in Paris, working within the Centre de Recherche sur la Littérature, la Philosophie et la Morale (CRRLPM). As a specialist in 19th and 20th century French literature, his scholarly work focuses on the complex relationships between literature and censorship mechanisms, particularly examining the Catholic Church's Index Librorum Prohibitorum and its historical impact on French literary production. His research interests span French literary history, censorship studies, Catholic Church history, and the institutional frameworks that shape literary production. Amadieu has made significant contributions to understanding how literary works by authors like Zola, Barbey d'Aurevilly, Gide, and others were evaluated and often prohibited by religious authorities. His work explores the rhetorical dimensions of censorship, examining how literary style itself could function as either a mitigating or aggravating factor in censorship decisions. Amadieu has edited important volumes including 'Responsabilité de la littérature dans l'entre-deux-guerres' (2018), which examines the ethical responsibilities of writers during the interwar period, and has organized significant academic conferences such as 'Du jansénisme au modernisme : La Bulle Auctorem fidei (1794), pivot du magistère romain?' (2016). His publications reveal a consistent scholarly trajectory analyzing how religious and political institutions have historically engaged with literary works, particularly focusing on the mechanisms of judgment and prohibition. His work demonstrates how censorship practices evolved from the Roman Index's operations through to contemporary forms of cultural regulation. Amadieu's research shows particular attention to the nuanced ways in which censors evaluated literary merit alongside moral concerns, revealing contradictions within censorship systems where elegant writing could be seen both as dangerously seductive and as potentially redeeming. Amadieu has established himself as a leading scholar in the field of literary censorship history, with his work appearing in major academic journals and contributing significantly to our understanding of the complex interplay between literary creation, religious authority, and institutional power throughout French literary history.
