TONIGHT: Comparative Constitutional Law - Final Courts Round-up 2011

07/12/2011

This seminar will provide an outline of recent constitutional developments in three jurisdictions – the United Kingdom, New Zealand and Canada – that are of key interest to Australian constitutional lawyers.� Experts from each jurisdiction will report on two or three major constitutional cases argued or decided over the last year; changes in the composition and politics of each country’s highest court; and flag the state of debate over constitutional reform. Together, the panellists will also discuss the potential relevance of these comparative developments for current issues in Australian constitutional law.

The seminar is a public event - Jointly organised by the Gilbert + Tobin Centre of Public Law (UNSW) and the Australian Association of Constitutional Law (AACL).
