Seminars
The seminars aim to raise awareness and debate about concepts of public law and policy, and in doing so these seminars examine a number of challenging legal issues and topics that are prominent in the public domain. Thus these seminars will be of interest to the legal community as a whole, to practitioners, and to students alike. The seminars draw upon the legal skills and knowledge of eminent legal academics and practitioners to talk on specific legal issues, which provides holistic and objective discussions of the legal topics in question.
