Cambridge Freshfields Annual Law Lecture 2014: Lord Neuberger - 'The British and Europe'

The Cambridge Private Law Centre warmly invites you to the Cambridge Freshfields Annual Law Lecture 2014, delivered by Lord Neuberger.  The title of the lecture will be "The British and Europe".

Location: LG19, Cambridge Faculty of Law, 10 West Road, Cambridge

The consequences of membership of the European Union and of the Council of Europe appear to involve disquiet and controversy in the United Kingdom, and perhaps particularly in England. In "The British and Europe", Lord Neuberger considers the question of why this is so, and contrasts the attitude in this country with that in other European countries. He examines the issue from various perspectives, including the geographical, historical, religious, cultural, constitutional and legal angles, and considers the implications for the future.

Lord Neuberger is currently President of the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom. He was a Lord of Appeal in Ordinary until the House of Lords' judicial functions were transferred to the new Supreme Court in 2009, at which point he became Master of the Rolls, the second most senior judge in England and Wales. He also serves as a Non-Permanent Judge of the Hong Kong Court of Final Appeal.

Followed by a reception in the Faculty Atrium. All welcome.

The international law firm Freshfields is a generous supporter of the Cambridge Private Law Centre and the sponsor of the lecture. A number of lawyers from the firm will be attending the lecture and reception, providing an opportunity for students to learn more about the firm.

Both speaker and topic are likely to appeal to a wide audience, so _booking is essential: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/cambridge-freshfields-annual-law-lecture-tickets-10182972545
