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.

In addition, she'll explain how London authorities reformed the prison system from the late 18th to mid-19th century, especially by divorcing imprisonment for punishment from imprisonment for safe custody and by committing themselves to reforming convicted prisoners through hard labour.

Universities play a crucial role in modern democracies: as knowledge generators through research and facilitators of critical and independent thinking, through learning, teaching and debate.  With the rise of the “third wave” of autocratisation in the last decade, universities have come under attack across the globe and not surprisingly we have seen a sharp decline in academic freedom.  To contribute to an emerging global conversation about how universities should respond to contemporary challenges, this event will draw together scholars from across the globe who have engaged with the challenges universities now face either in their own universities or in building solidarity with other universities. Panelists will examine how universities should understand their role in contemporary democracies and what they should do not only to resist the attacks, but to strengthen universities to ensure that they enable research, learning, teaching and debate for the common good.

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.
