Today, at Sorbonne Law, we talked about :

THE DOUBLE-SIDED NATURE OF FREEDOM OF SPEECH

Our speaker was Adrienne Stone, Redmond Barry Distinguished Professor, Kathleen Fitzpatrick Australian Laureate Fellow, Director of the Centre for Comparative Constitutional Studies, Melbourne Law School.

Comparative study of freedom of expression provides a rich case study of the propensity of rights to generate reasonable disagreement between three traditions/values/moral ideas in modern democracies : a liberty tradition (the United States); an equality tradition ( Canada) and a dignity tradition (Germany). Adrienne Stone argued that this ‘double-sided’ nature of freedom of speech lies, among other things, in understanding the ‘negative dimension’ of freedom of expression: that is, freedom of expression expresses and reflects attitudes toward state power. Those attitudes in turn reflect a complex combination of considerations of value, predictions of government behaviour and constructions of a constitutional culture.

Visiting Melbourne Law Prof Andrew Kenyon (right side of the panel) gave some interesting comments and Sorbonne law Prof Pierre Brunet (left side) finally warmly thanked them both on behalf of a full floor of students and colleagues.

Last night's big event : the QMUL/UP1 LLM Paris Opening Lecture at the Sorbonne !

The talk was delivered by Professor Duncan Matthews on
'Specialised IP Courts - the Unified Patent Court and Beyond'

The lecture was followed by comments, mine then those of Pierre Véron, Avocat at Véron & Associés, along with a discussion, moderated by Professor Maxi Scherer, Director Centre for Commercial Law Studies Paris, Queen Mary University of London.

Matthew Duncan underlined the trend toward establishing specialised IP courts, using examples from the United States, England & Wales and the People’s Republic of China. Set in this context, the lecture examined the challenges facing the Unified Patent Court (UPC) in the years ahead. We've exchanged on existing specialised IP courts to understand and predict how the UPC might encounter and resolve the challenges that it is likely to encounter in the future.

Queen Mary University of London’s Centre for Commercial Law Studies (CCLS) and the Sorbonne Law School thank you for your company at this Queen Mary LLM Paris Opening Lecture.

Le professeur invité de l'école de droit, Bruce Duthu, Samson Occom Professor in Native American Studies à Dartmouth College (Etats-Unis), donnera une conférence ouverte au public le mercredi 11 octobre à 18h, dans la Salle 1 au Centre Panthéon, sur le thème suivant:

Compliance or Evasion? An Assessment of Tribal Sovereignty in the United States on the Tenth (10th) Anniversary of the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples

On September 13, 2007, the UN General Assembly adopted the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. The United States initially voted against the resolution but ultimately signaled its acceptance (with conditions) in 2010. This talk will provide an assessment of the state of tribal sovereignty in the US in the modern era, with the Declaration serving as an important touchstone. The talk also takes account of the fact that in 2020, the US will mark the half-century mark of its policy of tribal self-determination. As the title for this talk suggests, there is room for debate as to whether the US is meeting Indigenous expectations for their collective rights of self-determination.
