Hiebert ‘Parliamentary Bills of Rights: Do They Alter the Norms of Legislative Decision-Making?’ / Geiringer ‘Unity and Disunity in the Commonwealth Model of Human Rights Protection‪’‬ Public Law Conference 2016: The Unity of Public Law?

From 12 to 14 September 2016, the Faculty of Law at the University of Cambridge held the second in a biennial series of conferences on Public Law.

The theme for the second Public Law Conference was "The Unity of Public Law?". The conference brought together academics, judges and practitioners from a range of Public Law fields and a variety of common law jurisdictions. The intention was that the Public Law series should become a pre-eminent forum for the discussion of Public Law matters in the common law world.

In this video, Chief Justice French (High Court of Australia) introduces Professor Janet Hiebert who spoke on the topic ‘Parliamentary Bills of Rights: Do They Alter the Norms of Legislative Decision-Making?’ and Professor Claudia Geiringer who spoke on ‘Unity and Disunity in the Commonwealth Model of Human Rights Protection’.
