The Art Not Evidence campaign launched at the end of 2023 to advocate for a restriction on the use of creative expression as evidence in criminal trials. The campaign addresses the criminalisation of rap music, including the increasing use of lyrics and music videos as evidence against young people accused of crime. By disregarding the culture and conventions of the genre, and by asking courts and juries to take the music literally, police and prosecutors not only undermine the positive aspects of rap, denying its status as an art form and stifling creativity, but also perpetuate harmful racist stereotypes and create a risk of wrongful conviction.

Across two sessions, we will hear from experts on the cultural significance of rap music and the issues and implications of prosecuting rap, including: colonial legacies in the criminalisation of drill music; use of drill music in ‘joint enterprise’ trials and to construct gang narratives; the need to instruct expert witnesses; Criminal Behaviour Orders to restrict the creation of music; and the implications for freedom of expression.

The event will provide information and insight for anyone interested in the criminal justice response to rap and popular culture, and the current efforts for legal reform. It will also provide practical information and tools for those who work in the criminal legal system, music industry, or who create (or support those who create) music.

A drinks reception will follow this Event.

We’re thrilled to have you join us for our upcoming event! We encourage all participants to fully immerse themselves in the experience by attending both sessions. To ensure you don’t miss out on any valuable content, please remember to register for both sessions.

We've got a City University event for you here! Organised by the Institute for the Study of European Law and the City Law School, don't say we never do anything for you.

The talk will be based on the recently published book chapter: Irene Wieczorek and Qianyu Wang, ‘Teaching EU Law Outside the EU: An Explorative Analysis of Eight Case Studies in Asia’ in Maria Stoicheva, S. G. Sreejith, Indranath Gupta (eds), Relevance of European Studies in Asia (Springer 2023)

This chapter investigates the state of EU law teaching in Asia. It chooses eight countries/regions as case studies (mainland China, Macau, Hong Kong, South Korea, Japan, India, Pakistan, Singapore) based on their capacity to represent different regions in Asia (East Asia, South Asia, South East Asia) and to include both countries/regions with a colonial past with the EU and without.

Given the limited and dated nature of the literature on the topic, which accounts for the originality of this study, the research relies on primary sources for data collection, namely websites and syllabi and elite interviews with EU law professors.

Some of you may have been following this case on the news - it has been an incredibly interesting affair. If you're interested in human rights and climate change, this is definetely one to attend.

What the Court Really Said and what it means for Climate Change Litigation An analysis by UCL experts

About the talk

On the 9th of April the Grand Chamber of the European Court of Human Rights delivered its much-anticipated judgment in three climate change cases. In one of them, Verein KlimaSeniorinnen Schweiz v Switzerland, the Strasbourg Court found for the first time a violation of the right to protection from the adverse effects of climate change. The case was brought by individuals, as well as a non-profit Swiss association aimed at promoting effective protection from climate change. The Court held that only the association had standing to complain and ruled a violation of article 8 ECHR (right to private life) and article 6 ECHR (right of access to court). It found that Switzerland was in breach of its positive obligation to adopt, and implement, measures capable of mitigating the adverse effects of climate change.

The KlimaSeniorinnen judgment is hailed as breaking new ground in climate change litigation by many but criticised as illegitimate judicial activism on the part of the European Court by some. UCL experts will analyse the reasoning of the Court and discuss what the judgment means for the future of climate change litigation and for European environmental policy. It will be followed by a Q & A session.

The dominant legal form for governing work relations in the UK, the standard employment relationship, provides a historically specific mode of capturing social and economic relations of labour within market economy. However, these economic relations can only be ‘seen’ by law when they take the form of legal relations between individual subjects, in this case, the contract of employment governing a bilateral relationship between worker and employing entity. Much else – the inequality of bargaining power between the parties, the broader structures within which the bilateral relationship exists, the unpaid work of social reproduction, the colonial extraction which makes the paid work possible – is invisible for the purposes of legal form. Thus, the gendered and racialised origin of the labour contract is erased, and the legal form itself systematically excludes certain groups from the scope of labour law.

This lecture tracks the continuing effects of linking employment protection rights, collectively bargained standards, and entitlements within the Keynesian welfare state to the standard employment relationship which co-evolved alongside vertically integrated firms, industrial trade unions and the welfare state. It contributes to critical analysis of legal forms adopted within racial capitalism, as well as to the empirical study of social relations of work.

Workers who are perhaps most in need of social and labour law protection are most likely to be excluded from its scope: those subject to non-standard arrangements which lack the ongoing promise of future work (e.g. ‘zero hours’ contracts); or which are mediated via a third party (e.g. agency work); or which take place within the ‘household workplace’. There is a racialised ‘clustering’ in contemporary labour markets, with Black and minority ethnic workers and those of migrant origin increasingly subject to precariatisation, dominating the occupational periphery even when located in the geographic core. This lecture explores how, for racialised and migrant workers, this exclusion from the standard employment relationship mirrors the history of racialised exclusion from institutions of social citizenship, tracing contemporary continuities with colonial and postcolonial legal forms.

The ‘legal turn’ in social, political, and literary history has shown the fundamentality of law to ways of being, knowing, and making in the early modern world. Across intensely legalistic and interconnected cultures, the practice and forms of law structured and reflected gender, power, race, and status relations, as well as systemic forms of subjugation, inequity, and enslavement. These relations are refracted in different ways when situated in different social, cultural, political, and, crucially, disciplinary contexts, and they pose urgent questions for our understanding of and engagements with the early modern past. This colloquium will bring people together from different fields to think critically and collaboratively about law not just at but as a disciplinary juncture. In particular, we ask what intersectional, inclusive, and explicitly interdisciplinary thinking can tell us about the nexus of law, language, and power in the making and experience of the early modern world.

Conveners: Laura Gowing (KCL) & Jonathan Powell (Leiden)

Research Handbook on EU Law and Global Challenges (edited by Jed Odermatt and Ramses A Wessel) explores the multifaceted ways in which the European Union addresses global challenges at the international and EU level.

The EU’s commitment to international law, multilateralism and addressing global challenges is enshrined in the EU Treaties.

The EU is also committed to delivering the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in the Union and beyond.

It addresses these challenges in different ways. In some circumstances, the Union does so primarily through internal legislation and policy.

The EU’s internal action may then set a benchmark for action by other states.

In other fields, the EU seeks to address global challenges by being active on the international level, such as by influencing the developments in international organizations or through the negotiation of multilateral treaties.

In this online writers’ workshop, authors will present and discuss their draft chapters.

Workshop outline

Introduction

Part 1: Global Challenges

Part 2: Climate Change and Environmental Sustainability Challenges

Part 3: Technology and Digitalization Challenges

Part 4: Security and Defence Challenges

Part 5: Rule of Law and Human Rights Challenges

City, University of London is hosting a day conference on the subject of ‘Deepfakes and the Law’ on Monday 20 May 2024 at its Northampton Square campus, London. The conference is part-funded by the Society of Legal Scholars. A blog post about the conference may be found here.

The theme of the conference is to explore the existing and potential relationships between Deepfake technology and the law. These relationships will cut across a range of existing legal fields of inquiry, and it is intended that the conference will draw on expertise both legal and non-legal in an interdisciplinary fashion. As such, we particularly welcome submissions from those with an interdisciplinary background in (e.g.) the arts, social sciences, history and/or information technology.

We will have themed panels on “Deepfakes, Image-Based Abuse & Consent”, “Deepfakes, Disinformation & Truth”, and two “open” panels. There will also be a round-table discussion session open to post-graduate or early-career researchers, which will also be on an “open” theme.

NCRM Annual Lecture 2024

Join NCRM for its 2024 annual lecture on Tuesday, 21 May. This prestigious event will bring together researchers from across the UK to discuss some of the latest advances in research methods.

Our keynote speaker for the evening will be Professor Noortje Marres of the University of Warwick, who will explore the new challenges that AI poses to the sciences of society.

The free lecture, which is part of NCRM's 20th anniversary celebrations, takes place in the magnificent surroundings of The Royal Society in central London. It will also be streamed online.

Researchers from any discipline and sector are welcome to attend. More details about the programme and speakers are available below.

The lecture

In her presentation, Professor Marres will discuss the debates surrounding the use of AI in social research and argue that the new tools challenge the ability of the social sciences to engage with contexts and communities in society.

Professor Marres will present a new set of methods and strategies that social researchers across disciplines have developed to address these challenges: situational mapping.

Drawing on recent research, she will show how this approach can be used to explore the ways that AI affects particular people and places.

Professor Marres will explain how interdisciplinary methods can enable researchers to negotiate conflicting requirements that automation and participation place on social research.

The lecture, After the Automation of Methods: the Case for Situational Analytics, will conclude with reflections on the consequences of the rise of generative AI for relations between social science and society.

The full abstract for the lecture and more details about our speakers are available below.

Registration

The lecture is free to attend, but registration is required.

Using evidence from computational analysis of the digitised Old Bailey Proceedings, this paper examines the major transformations in courtroom practices which took place in this influential court in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.  It examines the changing roles played by courtroom participants (focusing on victims, juries and witnesses, but also with attention to defendants, counsel and judges), the evolution of the physical design of the courtroom, and changing trial outcomes (verdicts, punishments) to argue that historians have overemphasised the role of judges and counsel and the development of the written law in their accounts of the history of the criminal trial.  Changes in the courtroom roles of other trial participants, only detectable through analysis of actual trial proceedings and associated evidence, were at least as important in shaping the development of the modern criminal trial.
Professor Hitchcock and Professor Shoemaker are world leading legal historians in the common law world.  Their work is particularly interesting and important not only for its content but also for the uses to which they have put this content.  These include the Old Bailey Online and the Digital Panopticon: their projects have worked to digitise and provide direct access online to billions of primary source material.  This enables historians easy access to those sources which enable the writing of a new ‘history from below’.  

Their work is inherently cross-disciplinary, combining and enabling research in both law and history.  It is also of importance in research training.  This research has national and international appeal.  It is important that the Institute for Advanced Legal Studies hosts this lecture for all of these reasons.

About the book

As the ongoing situations in Afghanistan, Myanmar and Venezuela show, it is not uncommon for the identity of a state’s government to be contested or otherwise unclear. Such uncertainty can create difficulties for virtually every matter to which the representation of a state is relevant, such as the denunciation of a treaty, access to state assets situated abroad, and consent to foreign military presence.

While the importance of the international legal rules concerning the identity of the governments of states is apparent, there exist several unresolved questions in this regard. For example, on what basis is a claimant to be treated as the government of a state for the purposes of international law? What are the legal consequences of a state recognizing the ‘wrong’ government? In dealing with matters of state representation, to what extent must international organizations strictly follow the position under customary international law on the identity of governments?

To discuss such matters, this event brings together a distinguished panel with the author of the recently published book The Identity of Governments in International Law (Oxford University Press), which offers a distinctive and comprehensive account of the regulation of governmental status in international law. Drawing on their academic and practical expertise, the speakers will consider, among other things, recent state and organizational practice as well as conceptual and other legal questions with a view to better understanding the international legal framework regulating the identity of the governments of states.

Press Freedom and Regulation in a Digital Era: A Comparative Study assesses the extent to which the emergent regulatory model for online news media is shaped by analogies from the past, or rather by a newly prevalent culture of control. By interweaving two distinct strands of analysis - the concepts of press freedom and regulation, and the phenomena of convergence and digitalization - this book examines the challenges for press freedom in the nascent digital news ecosystem. Drawing upon decisions of the European Court of Human Rights and the Court of Justice of the European Union, as well as from German, UK and US case law, this comparative work explores the regulation of the press in the digital era and the impact of the proliferating media laws, policies, and jurisprudence on press freedom.

Part of the book was written while the author was an ILPC Research Associate. The book launch and panel discussion should be of interest beyond the academy, namely for lawyers and policymakers working in government departments and/or involved with media regulation as well as for campaigners defending press freedom and/or advocating for greater press accountability. The book launch will also be an opportunity for collaboration between the ILPC and CFOM.

Digital partnerships and soft law frameworks in lieu of trade agreements are increasingly common led by the EU, Asia, US and UK.

The EU-US Trade and Technology (TTC) and an EU-India TTC are part of the EU’s pivot to multiple ‘soft law’ instruments in trade and technical, ie non-binding Digital Partnerships with key Asian partners, mainly leading developed economies originally part of the EU’s post-Lisbon pivot to Asia.

TTCs nowadays - similar to Digital Partnerships - have soft law structures, executive to executive set-up and wide-ranging emphasis on international law-making goals as to the digital economy.

It reflects upon its putative exclusion of parliaments through the adoption of frameworks outside of the EU treaties.

Are TTCs meaningfully evolving? Are trade and technology increasingly incompatible within trade agreements? Who is gaining and losing? Is EU leadership of global law-making issues arising from its data privacy first-mover regulation imperilled by a shift to soft law? How do other institutional actors get affected by a shift towards soft law in the EU? Are developments as to ‘EPLO’ creation evolving these issues?

London, Livable Cities: A Conference on Issues Affecting Life in Cities

Today, the societies, cultures, and the places in which we live and work are increasingly intricate phenomena. Globalization eradicates spatial boundaries to business. Gentrification involves social and political pressure. Pandemics are never site specific or confined to the past. Architecture and urban design are global endeavors. Sustainability requires material and political action. Patterns of criminality are not place bound. Similarly, the need for education and housing are universal and land rights are essential legal tools for First Nations and communities everywhere.

Sounds Interesting? This Conference might be for you!

Reflecting this positioning, the themes of Livable Cities – London are diverse and are intended to encourage overlap and cross disciplinary discussion. They include but are not limited to:

Design & Planning | Resilience & Sustainability | Urban Development and City Economies | Technology, Media & Smart Cities | Social Justice & the Right to the City | Cultural Cities & the Arts | Healthy Cities & Public Wellbeing | Infrastructure & Transport.

Formats

• In-person: Delegates can visit London and present live at the conference venue.
• Zoom: Live presentations via Zoom.
• Pre-recorded:  Pre-recorded presentations or films will be available permanently on the AMPS Academic YouTube channel.
• Written papers: In all cases, delegates can present full written papers for inclusion in all associated conference publications.
