The Public International Law Lecture Series
The Public International Law Lecture Series is a lecture series featuring judges of international courts and tribunals, leading academics, and practitioners of international law from governmental service, international organizations, and private practice from across the globe.
The Public International Law Lecture Series (previously known as the Essex Public International Law Lecture Series) is founded, hosted and chaired by Dr Emily Jones (Newcastle University) and Dr Meagan Wong (Essex Law School, University of Essex). The series prides itself on building upon two important intellectual traditions of international law: formalism and international legal practice, and international legal theory including postcolonial and feminist perspectives.
We welcome all students, academics, practitioners and legal advisors to join us!
