Forthcoming Events
Annual Lecture:
Dear all,
I am delighted to announce that the 2012 Annual Lecture of the Durham European Law Institute will be delivered by Professor John Spencer from the University of Cambridge. The event will take place on Tuesday 21 February from 5 to 6.30pm in room ER 142.
John Spencer's lecture is entitled "Who's Afraid of the Big, Bad, European Public Prosecutor?". He will discuss how the proposal to set up a European Public Prosecutor has been received in the UK. An abstract is attached. A poster will be circulated shortly.
John Spencer's interests include criminal law, criminal evidence, comparative criminal law, and the law of tort. Most interestingly from DELI's perspective, he has been at the forefront of the development of European Criminal Law as a branch of EU law and is the President of the European Criminal Law Association (UK) (ECLA(UK)). John Spencer is a Fellow of Selwyn College Cambridge, a QC (honoris causa) and an Academic Bencher of the Inner Temple.
The event is free and open to all, and I look forward to seeing many of you at what promises to be a very successful occasion.
Thanking you in advance for your support,
Best wishes,
Amandine Garde
Workshop Series on Union Citizenship:
In partnership with the Citizens Advice Bureau, DELI member Eleanor Spaventa has organised a series of three consecutive workshops on the theory and practice of Union citizenship to be held at the Institute of Advanced Legal Studies in London on 15 and 16 December 2011.
The workshops, sponsored by the European Commission Representation in the UK, aim at bringing together academics and practitioners from NGOs, private practice and policy makers working in areas which are particularly affected by Union citizenship.
