The Bonavero Institute Launches Inaugural Conversation Series

The Bonavero Institute of Human Rights launches a series of judicial conversations in advance of its official opening of the Institute building in October. The Institute’s conversation series will invite judges from a wide range of jurisdictions, including national and supranational courts, to address questions about the separation of powers in the context of their own jurisdictions. Issues to be explored include the legal and political factors that determine the role of the judiciary, the relationship between the judiciary and other institutions, and the concept of judicial independence.  

In convening this series of conversations, the Bonavero Institute of Human Rights hopes to foster robust and open conversations about one of the most important questions for constitutional and human rights lawyers everywhere. The series should deepen our understanding of the variation in the role of the judiciary across the world and bring fresh perspectives to debates on the separation of powers.

The series will run over four terms, from Trinity 2017 to Trinity 2018. For more information please visit the Institute's website.
