Engagement on Post Brexit Legal Landscape (Updated)

In recent weeks, members of the School have been increasingly active externally on the issue of Brexit as befits a School that will become the largest Common Law School when the UK leaves the European Union.

Subsequently, Professor Imelda Maher with Professor McMahon attended a Brexit and Borders Roundtable, organised by the Royal Irish Academy and the British Academy, held at the Queens’ University of Belfast on 17 February.

In the coming weeks, Professor Maher along with Professor Gavin Barrett and Dr Marie Luce Paris will be attending a joint Brexit thinktank to be held by one of our partner universities, Université Pantheon-Assas (Paris II). Furthermore, Dr Liam Thornton is planning to host a Conference on the Brexit implications for Human Rights on the island of Ireland in the Sutherland School of Law in early May 2017.
