From SOAS

"The genocide in Palestine and the war in Yemen were and are a litmus test for humanity. Most European governments, including the UK, undoubtedly failed the test. At the same time, Europe is on a path of militarisation following the Russian invasion of Ukraine. In this context, what are the impacts of European countries dismantling arms trade restrictions and the international rule of law? How can European countries break out of the downward spiral of militarisation, increasing their exports of war weapons, and unaccountability for war crimes?

Campaign Against Arms Trade, Shadow World Investigations, the European Network Against Arms Trade, and Influencing the Corridors of Power at SOAS University of London invite you consider these questions with our distinguished panel of experts."

In the early medieval period, we can observe the rise of ethically defined legal pluralism. This meant that in the courts of the Frankish kingdom, Franks, Romans, Alamans, Bavarians, Burgundians, Lombards, and members of further ethnic groups had to be treated according to their respective laws. In contrast to recent scholarship, which has emphasized the fluidity of ethnic and other categories of distinction, the lecture proceeds from the observation that law in this period tended to simplify ethnic categories and make them as unambiguous as possible, because otherwise it was not possible to clarify the legal identity and status of an individual. On this basis, it will describe the rise of ethically defined legal pluralism, discuss some of the more theoretical and practical problems inherent in it, and analyse attempts to solve potential norm conflicts arising from ethically defined legal pluralism.

Criminal justice and legal responses to sexual violence have long featured in academic and policy debates. Yet, despite a raft of substantive and procedural reforms, there continues to be evidence of steep attrition in sexual offences cases, as well as secondary victimisation experienced by complainants.

This two-day conference is dedicated to an in-depth multi-jurisdictional discussion of the ongoing complexities surrounding reform in this area. It will bring together scholars and practitioners engaged in cutting edge research to reflect upon recent progress, share their expertise, and discuss best practice.

Judicial dialogue is a concept that has gained academic and institutional attention for decades. There are various forms of cooperation conducive to judicial dialogue, including judges’ associations, as well as international organisations. Entire systems are premised on such dialogue, such as the European Union, whose preliminary ruling procedure has helped the development of a legal order as well as the socialisation of national judges thereto. Whilst many studies are dedicated to demonstrating the consequences of judicial dialogue, or the way in which judicial dialogue occurs in various fora, there is little systematic inquiry with regards to how to make such judicial dialogue effective for the good development of the law and promoting rule of law values.

In a lecture to be delivered by the renowned professor of law and campaigner, Phil Scraton, this talk will address political, ethical, and personal challenges bearing witness to the 'pain of other', representing personal testimonies, revealing institutionalised deceit and pursuing 'truth recovery'. It explores the proposition that ciritcal values are the foundation of hope in their commitment to truth recovery, social justice, and political transformation when faced with disappearance.

• 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?

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.
