In this seminar, I draw on field work and participatory action research undertaken in Ecuador over three decades to characterise the emerging practice of constitutional rights of nature litigation in Ecuador as a new species of business and human rights (BHR) litigation. I show how the historical and conceptual roots of private law BHR litigation efforts originating in Ecuador are intermingled with the roots of contemporary rights of nature litigation.

In the face of growing evidence that climate change and its various adverse impacts have economic origins and consequences, international financial institutions (IFIs) have started paying more attention to environmental issues. The ‘greening’ of the International Monetary Fund (IMF; Fund) – in its current incorporation of climate-related concerns into its legal mandate – is thus neither surprising nor necessarily suspect.

In this session we shall consider the different types of questions legal recruiters use and strategies for structuring your answers. We will also look at a range of sample questions. There will also be lots of tips for success for interview more broadly.

Our University Advocacy Day is a fantastic opportunity if you are considering a career at the Bar of England and Wales.

Mahek Bhatia on 'Exploring Marital Sexual Violence Litigation in India'

Abstract: My MSc thesis investigated the operation of the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act 2005, focusing on litigation experiences and the potential for strategic legal engagement. Drawing on legal reports and ten semi-structured interviews with lawyers, it uncovered that engagement with civil law is not legalistic, uniform, straightforward, or wholly separate from criminal justice institutions. Instead, litigation is more complex and game-like, with players, rules, advisors, and contested outcomes, in which civil law and criminal law are enmeshed in complex ways. Within this framework, lawyers emerge as crucial intermediaries who balance the legal system’s constraints with the needs of survivors. As I begin my PhD, I will be developing this project for doctoral research. In the presentation, I will outline how I plan to do so and explain the intended methodological design of the project. Receiving feedback and constructive criticism on this development will be crucial and beneficial for the project.
