Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin - Vergleichende Demokratieforschung und die Politischen Systeme Osteuropas

Dear all,

We invite you to join the event series organized by the Law & Society Institute (LSI), titled "Conversations with Judges: Can Courts Protect Democracy?":

These are challenging times, on many fronts. Specifically, courts and the judiciary are under pressure. When democracies tumble, or die, what is the role of courts? What are promising judicial strategies, resilient doctrines, and helpful remedies? We invite you to join a conversation with eminent judges from around the world to address these questions.

Daphne Barak-Erez has been a Judge at the Supreme Court of Israel since 2012. Before her appointment to the Supreme Court, she was the Stewart and Judy Colton professor of law and held the chair of law and security at the Tel-Aviv Faculty of Law, where she also got her LL.B., LL.M., and JSD. She is a member of the American Law Institute and the International Academy of Comparative Law and has held numerous fellowships and positions at prestigious institutions in the US, Germany, the UK, Switzerland, India, and Canada. Throughout her academic career, she has held positions of leadership and service. Her books and articles have been published internationally.

Please note that all events of this series take place in English. We are looking forward to your registration: law-and-society@hu-berlin.de.
