About this event:

In light of topical social, political and legal debates upon the intersection of the rights of freedom of expression and respect for private life, the UCL Jurisprudence Review will be celebrating the launch of its 17th volume by hosting a panel discussion to address the normative value of freedom of expression and privacy. The event will bring together leading academics and practitioners to discuss:

  • the relationship between freedom of expression and freedom of the press
  • privacy as a fundamental right
  • how rights to freedom of speech and privacy are balanced when both are engaged in a particular case
  • the duties that those who benefit from free speech have in respect of what they say
  • whether the decline of injunctions and super-injunctions has encouraged further bad practices between the press, PR agents and those selling private information to newspapers or defending themselves against the publication of their private information

About the Review

The UCL Jurisprudence Review was established in 1994 by Professor Stephen Guest as an annual publication of the best writing in legal theory produced by students. Contributors grapple with traditional questions of analytic jurisprudence, problems in ethics and political philosophy, and challenges at the intersection of social and legal theory.

Thank you for your support and we look forward to seeing you at the launch.

Best wishes,

UCL Jurisprudence Review
