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.

The success of the Review is illustrated by the recommendations it has received over the years.

Professor Ronald Dworkin, UCL Faculty of Laws/NYU Law School
"The University College London Faculty of Laws has always insisted that inquiry into theoretical aspects of all laws is central to a proper legal education... each paper illustrates originality and scholarly research that does credit to the students and staff of this faculty. The Review is the only academic student law review in the United Kingdom and I believe it now contributes significantly to legal philosophy."

Professor Jeremy Waldron, NYU Law School
"The papers are crisp, well argued, and they don't suffer from the tedium or the formulaic laboriousness of student 'notes' in American Law Reviews. Not only that, but they are persuasive and insightful, and they grapple fruitfully with difficult issues."
