Three categories of harms have materialised from unauthorised deepfakes; disinformation, demeaning content and displacing creative workers. As this technology continues to develop, without any safeguards in place, it will exacerbate the inequalities of society. This lecture discusses the regulation of unauthorised deepfakes and explores the introduction of personality rights into laws across the UK as part of a wider solution including educational, cultural and technological intervention.

This inaugural lecture brings together feminist peace research and gender and disaster studies to rethink how we understand conflict, crisis, and social change. Challenging dominant narratives that portray women primarily as victims, the lecture asks a provocative question: Can women benefit from war? Drawing on long-term field research in Nepal, it examines how conflict and disruption can sometimes open new spaces for participation, leadership, and social change. At the same time, it highlights the limits and inequalities that persist long after violence ends. By focusing on lived experiences, this lecture offers a different perspective on how gender, conflict, and crisis are connected, and what this means for building more inclusive and just societies.

Legal practice is fundamentally concerned with managing legal risk. While a strong knowledge of the law is essential, clients are primarily focused on understanding and assessing their risks in order to make informed decisions about whether to act or not to act. This session will explore legal risk in practice and examine how clients approach legal advice and risk management, particularly in the context of global businesses. It will draw on illustrative examples from data protection, cyber, and AI law.

Curious what Intellectual Property (IP) law actually covers? This dynamic session demystifies the rights that protect ideas, brands, creative works and inventions, and why they power modern economies. We’ll shed some light on Creative Industries and IP, where we unpack contracts, licensing, and monetisation across film, music, fashion and games.

To make it concrete (and fun), we’ll test these principles against AI: who owns AI-generated content, how do training datasets intersect with copyright, and what does ‘authorship’ mean when machines compose? You’ll leave with a clear map of patents, trademarks, copyright and designs; and practical case studies, and explore how IP turns ideas into assets.

Caste, a system that hierarchically stratifies society into distinct groups, perpetuates systemic discrimination and violence. The system continues to structure social, economic, and political life for nearly a quarter of the world’s population, with its most entrenched and violent manifestations occurring in India. Despite a constitutional framework and a series of legislative measures aimed at eradicating caste-based discrimination which was shaped significantly by historic and contemporary anti-caste movements, oppressed communities continue to face systemic marginalisation, exclusion, and targeted violence. This lecture examines the relationship between law and activism in addressing these deeply rooted structural inequalities.

In this session, we bring together people from diplomacy and law to ask what role law plays in the Israel-Palestine conflict. Specifically, we are interested to understand how those involved in or affected by the conflict see the role of international courts and tribunals, how they perceive their declarations and judgments, and how they use these on the ground. We also tackle the limits of international law - what the law says on paper and what is the reality in practice. We will welcome two wonderful speakers :

The United Kingdom's unprecedented withdrawal from the European Union in 2020 may be regarded as the first example of European 'disintegration'. This moment, however, was preceded by decades of 'disruption' as the UK, Ireland, and Denmark pursued opt-outs from the supranational constitutional order.

Constitutional Disintegration and Disruption: Withdrawal and Opt-Outs from the European Union provides the first comprehensive analysis of these two phenomena.

Commercial awareness isn’t something you can memorise; it’s a skill you build through practice. Lindsey Thompson brings years of experience hiring graduates into international law firms. In this live session, you’ll analyse real-world business stories, identify the legal and commercial implications, and construct your own case-study. This gives you evidence of action and development - something employers value far more than passive understanding.

You’ll understand the “why” behind commercial awareness, not just the “how”. Law firms want trainees who can think beyond the black-letter law.

In the Anthropocene, the fact that human activity is enmeshed with the existence and actions of every kind of other being is inescapable. As a result, the planetary ecological crisis has brought forth an urgent need to rethink understandings of human action. One response holds that the transformations necessary to tackle today’s crises will emerge from the distinctive capacity of human beings to transcend their environment. Another school of thought calls for seeing action as composite, produced by distributed networks of human and nonhuman agents. Yet the first of these is open to charges of human exceptionalism, while the second, according to its critics, lacks effective political traction.

The dominant approach to interpretation of the devolution statutes has been to treat them as ordinary statutes, to be interpreted like any other, rather than as “constitutional statutes”. This lecture will discuss the justifications for the ordinary statutes approach, the problems to which it gives rise, and how these problems may be resolved. It will be argued that the difference between the two approaches is less stark than it may appear. The ordinary statutes approach does make assumptions about the constitutional context in which interpretation takes place, but ones which are relatively insensitive to the specific needs and challenges of effective devolved governance.

Rapid changes in information and communication technologies over the last two decades have occasioned a radical transformation in the human experience of time, labor, and sensation. Drawing on historical research in experimental psychology and nearly a decade of collaborative “attention activism” aimed at resisting the extractive violence of Big Tech, D. Graham Burnett will present a critical diagnosis of the contemporary program of relentless “human fracking,” and propose that an emerging politics of attention offers the best hope for emancipatory resistance.

Across the UK, efforts to reverse declining biodiversity continue to fall short. This reality has prompted some campaigners to call for the adoption of a Rights of Nature approach. Such a shift would fundamentally change how we protect wildlife by recognising natural entities. A river could be granted the right to flow free of pollution, or a forest the right to naturally regenerate. Comparable approaches already exist elsewhere. Ecuador’s 2008 constitution recognises the Rights of Nature, and in Aotearoa New Zealand the Whanganui River was granted legal personhood in 2017.

What could this approach mean in a country as nature depleted and heavily shaped by human activity as the UK? What role should ecology and ecological science play within this movement? And might strengthening and enforcing existing laws for priority habitats and protected species deliver more immediate benefits?

This lecture uses the HRJL as a case study in the opportunities and risks of transplanting legislation developed in the UK to smaller jurisdictions. Jersey adopted a statutory scheme closely aligned with the UK’s Human Rights Act, aiming to ‘bring rights home’ while preserving local constitutional arrangements. Drawing on post-legislative evaluation work, I will explore what has worked well and what has not: patterns of litigation and access to justice, the quality of rights-checking in lawmaking, and the wider challenge of building durable ‘rights infrastructure’ in a small polity. The aim is to identify practical lessons for policymakers and legislators working across the Crown Dependencies and other smaller jurisdictions.

Plato in the fourth century BCE penned an indelible sequence of constitutional decline ending in tyranny, as well as a more complex set of possibilities for mixing different constitutional kinds. Two centuries later, Polybius portrayed constitutional change as cyclical, with an eventual collapse of democracy into ‘ochlocracy’ (mob rule) and then reversion to monarchy. These and other ancient authors proposed that a mixed constitution might prevent unwanted political change – an idea that would influence many later generations of political thinkers.

An enthusiast of the Roman mixed constitution, Cicero was elected consul and in that role dramatically curbed the tyrannical ambitions of Catiline. He would later become fatally embroiled in the shifting politics of later generations of ambitious strongmen, while also writing his own theories of constitutional change. This lecture explores Cicero’s life and death as a way to articulate the crises of the late republic.

Justice derives its origin, Hume tells us, from the confined generosity of persons and the scanty provision nature has made for our wants. Expanding our understanding of these facts and their relationship to justice, Rawls envisioned these “circumstances of justice” as those conditions under which social cooperation is both possible and necessary. This idea of circumstances has animated others in exploring the relationship between conditions and concepts, including Waldron’s account of the circumstances of politics. The questions I explore all relate to an underdeveloped idea in the philosophy of law: the circumstances of law. Is there a parallel relationship between conditions for and the concept of law? Does reflection on the conditions for law give us reason to favour one or another conception of law? In turn, do different conceptions of law highlight different conditions for law's possibility and necessity? And do we best understand some lasting contributions to jurisprudence, such as HLA Hart's account of the shift from a pre-legal to a legal society, as themselves participating in the idea of law's circumstances?

Speaker: Martin Firrell is a public artist who has gently and consistently sought to humanise the times we live in. He uses the poster form to campaign for greater social equality. His bold and simple texts address LGBT+ equality, the women’s movement, feminism and gender equality; and universal human rights. The artist's aim is 'to make the world more humane'. For more than 25 years, Firrell has hijacked advertising’s means to achieve artistic-activist ends. His co-opting of commercial technique and syntax, together with his sustained and wholesale colonisation of advertising’s oldest and boldest medium, the billboard, makes him one of the most apposite and significant artists of the 21st Century.

This lecture explores the legal lessons Professor Stafford-Smith learned from visiting Afghanistan. He argues critical Western rhetoric betrays the country’s liberal majority (80% of its population and leadership), drawing parallels to U.S. involvement in other drawn-out conflicts. He asks: what positives do we see in Afghanistan? What legal lessons should we learn from it, about how we can best support those who share our values? How can we create a world that upholds individual rights and the rule of law?
