- How do past decisions influence today’s criminal justice policy and practice?
- What decisions being made now will shape the choices of future generations?
- How does our anticipation of what the future may bring affect our decisions about crime and justice in the present?
Join three leading criminologists – Michael Fiddler, Travis Linnemann and Theo Kindynis – as they discuss these and related questions with our Director, Richard Garside. Using the metaphor of ‘ghosts’ to capture the way that present-day policy-making is ‘haunted’ by past decisions and future expectations, Fiddler, Linnemann and Kindynis offer fresh ways of understanding current policy dilemmas, and why our current approaches to crime and punishment seem to rely so much on older, failed experiments.

Despite frequent calls to integrate the study of law into broader scholarship on the ancient world, the study of law and legality often remains isolated. This seminar series, ‘Performing normativity in the ancient world’, seeks to move away from the traditional, narrow conception of ‘capital-L’ Law and hopes instead to focus on the performance, construction, negotiation, and enforcement of regimes of normativity across various spheres of human action by encouraging participants to explore a wider array of consolidated arrangements of “discourses, norms, practices, and institutions” (Duve, 2023) and their functions within the societies in which they emerged and operated. These spheres might include, but ought not be limited to, magic, religion, politics, theatre, literature, and art.

Debate on legislative expression has long been preserved for the drafting academic and practitioners. But in doing so they have failed the super goal of producing good laws. And they now need to confess that they do not have the answers to everything and collaborate with linguistics to learn from, and borrow, know-how, experience, and resulting successes.
Indeed, there are inherent difficulties in the drafting of legislation. The drafter is not a mere scribe, and drafting is affected by the environment of the Parliamentary (or legislative) process.
If an instrumental position is taken, the background can be seen to include recognition of a problem, determination of objectives, and the choice of means for their achievement.

The law often seeks to keep sound contained and fixed, but sound has a way of leaking out. From the acoustic design of courtrooms to rules of evidence and norms of decorum in trial, the law determines what should be heard and what should not, in legal process as well as in everyday life. Sound can be an evanescent and unruly object, however, evading or penetrating our ears in unexpected ways. As a result, the law applies what I refer to as fictions of hearing – assumptions, ideas, and rules about sound that aim to manage it, but don’t always succeed. Through three examples, I show how such fictions of hearing clash with the human perception of sound. These examples reveal the limitations of legal imagination and understanding of sound and listening.

The White House’s effort to jolt the terms of the Fourteenth Amendment’s birthright citizenship provision away from its longstanding status quo raises not just a constitutional law question, but a foundational question, sounding in political morality, as to the scope and nature of our polity. And of course, there is the (hardly minor) matter of whether and why government officials who heap public condemnation on federal judges will comply with those judges’ ordinarily binding orders. This talk offers an overview of these and other changes, and asks: Is this a “real” moment of constitutional change in the United States? And if so, what is the new constitutional dispensation?

More than 12 years have passed since the sentence of Imprisonment for Public Protection (IPP) was abolished by Parliament – but it continues to cause injustice and despair.

This Spotlights event will consider the working group’s recommendations and the steps that ministers could take to end the IPP scandal once and for all.

The conference will explore how media law responds to those who make public allegations of wrongdoing and what impact those responses have on a range of media actors.

The presenters are leading media law academics and practitioners from New Zealand, Australia, the United States and United Kingdom and, although the papers’ principal focus will be the law of England & Wales, a range of comparative perspectives will also be included.

For the CEL 51st Annual Lecture, President Koen Lenaerts will explain, in the light of the relevant case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union, that respect for the value of democracy cannot be limited to protecting the ballot box.
Free and fair elections are vital for a democracy. However, that is not enough. In his view, the value of democracy requires much more. It requires a transparent and accountable government, an active civil society, free and pluralistic media, and minorities who feel protected. It also requires future generations of Europeans to learn and understand how EU demoicracy operates in practice, and to share and cherish the values on which the EU is founded.
