⚖️ Yesterday, ISEL hosted its Winter lecture with guest speaker Judge Damjan Kukovec, General Court, Court of Justice of the European Union. In his lecture, Judge Kukovec addressed the recent amendment to the Protocol of the ECJ, which empowers the EU General Court to hear preliminary references by national courts in several specific fields, including customs law, VAT and passengers rights for the first time. In the following Q&A session, all participants (including our law students) were able to ask their questions about any aspect of the 'The evolving jurisdiction of the General Court of the EU'. 👉 With this event, we closed the ISEL seminar series for the term. We will reconvene in January, so be on the lookout! The City Law School City, University of London

💭 Comprehension of 'Sure' as the description of the Criminal Standard of Proof 🗓 5 December, 18:30-20:00 📍 TLG11, The City Law School ➡️ https://ow.ly/ypfh50U4ktI A team of researchers from The City Law School and The Department of Methodology, London School of Economics have undertaken empirical research into the comprehension of "sure" as the description of the criminal standard of proof.

New article published by me 'Legal Convergence through soft law? The EU-US Trade and Technology Council EU-US TTC' in European Foreign Affairs Review 2024, volume 29.   An EU-US Trade and Technology Council (TTC) was a key element of transatlantic cooperation in trade and technology in global challenges between 2021-2024. I study the use of its 50 + references to international law and trace them to its outcomes. I examine its overtly legalistic framing yet heavily delegalized outcomes using soft law, yet grounded in international law references. I show how TTC aligns well with broader trends in international economic law preferring soft law solutions. Yet this contrasts considerably with other EU-US data and digital trade governance, involving hard law solutions, to satisfy CJEU caselaw.
