November 2016: Round table with Prof. Josephine van Zeben

Dear alumni, We are proud to announce a new event, a round table at which you get the chance to listen to an eminent speaker in a small and intimate setting and ask questions. As we all agree to keep what was said inside the room to ourselves (Chatham House rules), everyone is free to express themselves.

The speaker is Prof. Josephine van Zeben, a lawyer who worked on the Urgenda case and would like to talk about the Miller case (Art 50 Brexit), a very current topic!
