Human Rights Law: Bringing Power to the Powerless - Clive Stafford Smith
Manage episode 443004468 series 3428921
This first lecture looks at the power that is given to advocates in a country that has a constitutional structure like the US. I have brought The American Constitution powers an American lawyer in ways unavailable to the British. I will illustrate this difference from my own experience of bringing 88 cases against the President of the US. I have thus far lost just one.
This lecture was recorded by Clive Stafford Smith on 19th September 2024 at Barnard's Inn Hall, London.
