Dear friends,

we have many wonderful club events coming up! Don't miss the chance to hear three famous law school faculty lecture an entire afternoon at Humboldt University (free registration required).

We also have Stammtisch meetings coming up in Berlin (last one before the summer break!), Frankfurt, and Munich (the last newsletter unfortunately listed the info for a past rather than the upcoming Stammtisch there - apologies!)

Wishing everyone a wonderful summer!

Yale-Humboldt Consumer Law Lecture 2018

Yale-Humboldt Consumer Law Lecture 2018

Ladies and Gentlemen,                       

on 15 June 2018, the Yale-Humboldt Consumer Law Lecture (YHCLL) will take place for the fourth time at Humboldt-University Berlin.

For this year’s event, we are privileged to welcome Professor Robert C. Post (Yale Law School), Professor Judith Resnik (Yale Law School) and Professor Reva Siegel (Yale Law School) as speakers.

I would be very pleased to welcome you to the Yale-Humboldt Consumer Law Lecture in June!

With best regards,

Susanne Augenhofer

 

General information on the YHCLL:
In this annual lecture series, up to three scholars from Yale Law School and other leading US-Law Schools are invited to spend some time in Berlin, at Humboldt Law School. During their stay, and as part of a variety of different events, the three visitors will interact with colleagues as well as doctoral candidates and students. The highlight of these series of events is the Yale-Humboldt Consumer Law Lecture, which is open to all interested lawyers. The presentations will be followed by a discussion.

The Yale-Humboldt Consumer Law Lecture aims at encouraging the exchange between American and European lawyers in the field of Consumer Law, understood as an interdisciplinary field that affects many branches of law. Special emphasis will therefore be put on aspects and questions which have as yet received little or no attention in the European discourse.

Speakers

Prof. Judith Resnik
Arthur Liman Professor of Law, Yale Law School
The functions of publicity and of privatization in courts and their replacements (from Jeremy Bentham to #MeToo and Google Spain)

Prof. Reva Siegel
Nicholas deB. Katzenbach Professor of Law, Yale Law School
Conscience Wars: Religious Refusals to Serve in Health Care and Commercial Settings

Prof. Robert C. Post
Sterling Professor of Law, Yale Law School
