CTLS - Center for Transnational Legal Studies London

We're reflecting on a great day at this year's CTLS Global Conference! Prof. David Feldman delivered an engaging keynote on 'Sovereignties and Clashing Goods in Transnational Legal Orders' - a perfect close to a day full of discussions on threats to the rule of law and legal norms. The event brought together many from the CTLS community including alumni, former faculty and members of our Executive Council.

Also pictured are the academics who contributed their vital expertise to our panel discussions throughout the day. Details of the speakers and topics covered can be found on the programme here: https://bit.ly/3PYkvjy
