Professor Stewart Motha, Executive Dean at the School of Law, said "The School of Law's annual 'Law on Trial' series of talks and discussions addresses the urgent problems posed by the COVID-19 pandemic: the transformations in biopolitical power; effectiveness of constitutional structures in the face of authoritarianism; public health and private wealth; and the networks of resistance to racialised violence and differentiation which multiply in times of 'crisis'. We hope you can join some or all of these conversations"
The 'Law On Trial' series has been running since 2010, past themes have included 'Religion', 'The European Union' and 'Punishments and Rights Violations'.
