| Thursday 11 December 2008 Current Legal Problems (CLP) Lecture Constitutional Review, the Courts and Democratic Sceptics Speaker: Dr Aileen Kavanagh Faculty of Law, University of Leicester Chair: The Rt Hon Lord Justice Sedley Venue: UCL Laws, Main Lecture Theatre Time: 6-7pm Accreditation: 1 CPD hour by the Solicitors Regulation Authority No reservation required. Public Lecture |
About this lecture Under the Human Rights Act 1998, UK courts are empowered to review primary legislation for compliance with a codified set of fundamental rights, namely, those enshrined in the European Convention on Human Rights. This supervisory power over primary legislation is aptly described as ‘constitutional review’. Democratic sceptics fiercely oppose constitutional review, because they claim that it gives too much power to the courts and undermines democratic values. The aim of this lecture is to defend the legitimacy of constitutional review under the HRA from the central arguments advanced by democratic sceptics. The first half of the lecture will address the theoretical argument that constitutional review is illegitimate because it places an unjustifiable limit on the right to democratic participation. The second half will consider Keith Ewing’s claim that constitutional review under the HRA has failed to vindicate human rights. In challenging the premises underlying that claim, this lecture will attempt to defend the utility (rather than futility) of the HRA. Download the full lecture series |

| Tuesday 9 December 2008 Jevons Institute for Competition Law and Economics Antitrust and Regulation Forum The Financial Crisis and its implications for State Aid and Competition Policy Chair: Dr John Fingleton, CEO, Office of Fair Trading Speakers:
|
The financial crisis is having a deep impact on the regulatory landscape worldwide and is calling into question a number of established principles of economic governance in general as well as the role of the State in the economy. Against this backdrop the Jevons Institute for Competition Law and Economics has decided to dedicate its annual forum to the consequences of the financial crisis on the role of competition law and State aid rules. We have assembled leading academics and head of competition authorities to debate this topic. |

| Thursday 4 December 2008 Hamlyn Lecture III Judges and civil justice Speaker: Professor Dame Hazel Genn DBE QC, UCL Laws Venue: Cruciform Lecture Theatre 1, Cruciform Building, UCL, Gower Street Time: 6-7pm Accreditation: 1 CPD hour by the Law Society See who attended the Hamlyn Lectures 2008 Download information on all 3 Hamlyn Lectures |
About this lecture The third Hamlyn lecture will focus on the changed role of the judiciary in civil justice. The Woolf reforms transformed the judicial role, with the judiciary becoming active case managers guided by principles of equality, economy, proportionality, and expedition. Against the backdrop of changing work patterns and diminishing set-piece civil trials, the lecture will reflect on the extent to which judges are administering dispute resolution processes rather than adjudicating in the traditional sense. Drawing on new research with judges and practitioners, the lecture will consider what we want and need from our civil judges, and why having good judges matters. |
| Wednesday 3 December 2008 WTO Scholars' Forum Compliance with WTO Dispute Settlement Decisions: Some Reflections on Recent Developments Speaker: Professor Mary Footer (Nottingham) Chair: Dr Andrew Lang (LSE) Venue: UCL Laws, Moot Court Time: 4 - 5.30pm To register, free of charge, please contact the Forum administrator Ann Tucker ann.tucker@ucl.ac.uk |
About this talk While it is understood that WTO Members will sooner or later bring themselves into conformity with decisions of the WTO Dispute Settlement Body, in practice this does not always happen or, if it does, then it happens only belatedly. The aim of this talk is to discuss recent developments in the field of compliance with WTO dispute settlement decisions. Special consideration will be given to those cases where compliance is long overdue, or has come about in a manner that is not provided for under the DSU and to suggest reasons for such non-compliance.

| Tuesday 2 December 2008 Competition Law in a Global Context Lecture Series - Jevons Institute for Competition Law and Economics One size fits all: competition laws and enforcement around world Speakers: Professor Abel Mateus, former First President of Portuguese Competition Authority |
About this lecture Competition laws and institutions are almost the same around the 100 plus countries that have adopted them. What is the importance of competition for development? Is the model being exported around the world an efficient institutional arrangement to promote development and fairness for consumers? How competition policy interacts with the political system and ways to improve its enforcement with different levels of institutional development? Competition policy, interest groups and corruption.

| Thursday 27 November 2008 Hamlyn Lecture I What is the civil justice system for? Speaker: Professor Dame Hazel Genn DBE QC, UCL Laws Download information on all 3 Hamlyn Lectures |
About this lecture The first Hamlyn lecture will consider how far the civil justice system is close, or even relevant, to the experience of Sir Jack’s “common people” wrestling with everyday legal problems. Since the publication of Paths to Justice in 1999, similar studies have been conducted in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, and Hong Kong. The lecture will discuss what we have learned comparatively about why people do or don’t go to law; what motivates the choices made; and the significance of the formal civil justice system to the resolution of justiciable disputes. |
| Thursday 27 November 2008 LUNCH HOUR TALK Forensic Anthropology and Human Rights: Investigation, exhumation and analysis of evidence in the context of political/ethnic violence Speaker: Silvana Turner, Argentine Forensic Anthropology Team |
The Argentine Forensic Anthropology Team, (Equipo Argentino de Anthropologia Forense, EAAF), established in 1984, is a nongovernmental, nonprofit scientific organization that applies forensic sciences, mainly forensic anthropology, archaeology, and genetics, to the investigation of human rights violations in Argentina and around the world. The team was founded in response to the need to investigate the disappearances of at least 9,000 people by the military regime that ruled Argentina from 1976 to 1983. Applying forensic anthropology and related sciences, and working closely with victims and their relatives, the team seek to shed light on human rights violations, contributing to the search for truth, justice, reparation, and prevention of future abuses. Silvana Turner has been a forensic anthropologist, investigator and researcher for EAAF since 1989. In addition to participating in investigations in Argentina, she has worked at the request of national and international NGOs, governmental and intergovernmental organisations, national and international commissions in Brazil, Uruguay, Bolivia, Colombia, Panama, El Salvador, Honduras, Guatemala, Mexico, Ethiopia, South Africa, Zimbabwe and the Philippines. |

| Wednesday 26 November 2008 Competition Law in a Global Context Lecture Series - Jevons Institute for Competition Law and Economics Parallel imports of pharmaceuticals and EC competition law after Sot. Lélos kai Sia (Case C-468/06) Speakers: Dr. Assimakis Komninos, Senior Associate, White & Case, Brussels and Visiting research fellow, Centre for Law and Governance in Europe, UCL Dr. José Luis Buendía Partner, Garrigues Brussels and Professor of European Law, Vrije Universiteit Brussels (VUB) |
The recent judgment of the European Court of Justice in Sot. Lélos kai Sia (Case C-468/06) is the latest and most important development in the GlaxoSmithKline saga of cases on restrictions to parallel imports of pharmaceuticals and the application of EC competition law. The two speakers represented opposing parties in the legal proceedings at the European and the national level in this case. They will discuss their take on the ECJ's position (and the possible outcome in pending cases) as well as the implications of this judgment on the pharma industry and on the future of parallel imports in Europe in general. |

| Tuesday 25 November 2008 Competition Law in a Global Context Lecture Series - Jevons Institute for Competition Law and Economics The European Competition Network: Achievements and Reform Speakers: Professor Abel Mateus, former First President of Portuguese Competition Authority |
The major reform of 2004 introduced a decentralized system for competition enforcement in the EU. How does it operate? What are its strengths and weaknesses? How to improve its efficiency in operational? Can it survive over the long term in terms of granting a level-playing field to enterprises and consumers in the EU? |
| Thursday 20 November 2008 WTO Scholars' Forum TLC – Trade and the Low Carbon Economy Speaker: Professor Geert Van Calster, University of Leuven Chair: Angus Johnston (Senior University Lecturer, University of Cambridge) |
About the lecture Government and private measures intended to move towards a low carbon economy have created some interesting contrasts. Many, including regulators, see a trading instrument (emissions trading) as something of a panacea for climate change mitigation. At the same time, alternative measures suggest a decrease in trade so as to keep carbon footprints of goods and services down. While usually well-intended, such measures inherently erode some of the comparative advantages of developing countries. Buying locally, for instance, sometimes descends into protectionism. This presentation will present the impact of the WTO on low carbon economy measures, highlighting the limitations of WTO law in the international debate on climate change, but perhaps even more so the agility of the agreements to support genuine climate change governance. It will also look at the ‘special place’ for energy in the WTO. |

| Friday 14 & Saturday 15 November 2008 UK Constitutional Law Group and IACL Conference The Regulatory State: Constitutional Implications This event will explore the impacts on constitutional arrangements of the development over the last thirty years or so of a ‘regulatory state’ in the UK and other Western countries, and in EU law. Processes of privatisation and regulation which have given rise to this state raise important issues to do with public, political, legal and other forms of accountability (e.g. audit) of industries and regulators, and issues of governance and good governance. The speakers will consider the constitutional implications of these arrangements generally and in particular countries, and will make comparisons between jurisdictions. Hosted by Clifford Chance LLP |
Speakers at this event include: Professor Didier Maus, President, International Association of Constitutional Law and Professor Dawn Oliver, chair of the UK Constitutional Law Group Professor Johannes Masing (University of Freiburg, Germany, and the German Federal Constitutional Court) Professor Peter Strauss, (Columbia, USA) Professor Julia Black (LSE, UK) Professor Fabrizio Cafaggi, (EUI, Italy) Professor Gerd Winter (University of Bremen, Germany) Professor Imelda Maher (UCD, Ireland) Professor Richard Rawlings (UCL, UK) Mr Ed Humpherson (National Audit Office, UK) Professor Richard Macrory (UCL, UK) Professor Tony Prosser (University of Bristol, UK) Download the Programme | Read more about the UK Constitutional Law Group |
| Thursday 13 November 2008 Current Legal Problems (CLP) Lecture False Contingency Speaker: Professor Susan Marks, School of Law, KCL Chair: The Rt Hon Lord Neuberger Accreditation: 1 CPD hour by the Law Society |
This
paper explores the relation between necessity and contingency and its bearing on approaches to legal enquiry. The central claim is that anti-necessitarian critique has been allowed to obscure the ways in which things may be contingent without being random, accidental or arbitrary. This claim and its implications are illustrated with reference to international law. Download the full lecture series |

| Thursday 23 October 2008 Current Legal Problems (CLP) Lecture Law, Narrative and the Normal Man Speaker: Professor Melanie Williams School of Law, University of Exeter in Cornwall Accreditation: 1 CPD hour by the Law Society |
This paper makes an attempt to give expression to some significant concerns
about the presumptions created by the relationship between law and the
psyche. The concerns result from doubts relating to the philosophical and
forensic basis of notions of responsibility and agency, notions of profound
significance to the broad rationale of the law and to the adjudication of
individual cases. Consideration of these doubts in turn lead to reflections
upon the narrative processes inherent in the construction of accounts and
the current positioning of psychology and psychiatry, particularly in
relation to the discourses of psychoanalysis. Download the full lecture series |

Public Lecture |
About this lecture It has long been accepted that the law relating to cohabiting relationships is unsatisfactory and in need of reform. Yet there is no consensus as to the form that such reform should take. Three areas of the law have the potential to offer a solution: contract law, through the validation and enforcement of cohabitation contracts; property law, through the mechanisms adopted to ascertain the property rights of the parties on relationship breakdown; and family law, by the identification of grounds for the reallocation of assets. This paper will examine the scope of all three, in particular the case-law that has emerged in the wake of the decision of the House of Lords in Stack v Dowden and the Law Commission’s proposals for reform, which will form the basis of a bill to be promoted by Lord Lester this autumn.

About the Seminar: Dr Rubini will address an outstanding and complex issue: the definition of ‘public subsidy.’ This is both of great academic and practical importance. Borrowing from the conclusions of OECD’s workshop of 2001, the issue is “not just the definition of a subsidy but also the question of how to determine what is legitimate and what is not legitimate.” This problem will be addressed through a comparative analysis of the two most developed systems of subsidy control in the world, those of the WTO and the EC. Convergences and divergences are highlighted, problems identified and few solutions suggested. |

Abstract: This lecture will examine how criminal offences should be structured when an endangerment offence is committed and the harm that the endangerment offence is targeted actually against actually materialises (for example, causing death by dangerous driving). Analysis of the current law reveals that these offences take several forms. Concentrating on cases where death has resulted from the underlying endangerment offence, the lecture will argue that there should be specific endangerment offences but will question whether such offences are justifiable without there being an extra degree of culpability or dangerousness beyond that required for the primary endangerment offence.. |
