Justice Goodwin Liu is scheduled to give a Law Enrichment Talk next month at Lady Margaret Hall, an Oxford University college.
The June 10 lecture is expected to include a discussion of “the role of the courts in these turbulent times — in particular, how the judiciary can perform effectively in the face of difficult political constraints and threats, as well as the important role that non-legal factors — including institutional norms and civic activism — must play in safeguarding the rule of law.”
The college explains what it means by “these turbulent times”: “Robust exercises of executive power by the current Presidential administration in the US have spawned many controversies over separation of powers and due process of law. Those controversies are the subject of scores of lawsuits, testing the role of the judiciary in enforcing constitutional limits.”
Founded in 1878, Lady Margaret Hall is billed as having “opened up Oxford to women for the first time” and as being “the first Oxbridge college to establish a Foundation Year for under-represented students.”
