When and Where
Speakers
Description
Join us to meet CrimSL Visiting Junior Fellow Morten Boe and hear his informal presentation on Tuesday, October 10, 2023 from 12:15-13:00 in Seminar Room CG 265.
Morten will talk briefly about the legal and criminological research conducted at the very noted Max Planck Institute where he studies. He will also give an overview of opportunities for visits and exchanges before discussing some of his latest research.
Morten will present on "The Significance of “Schuld” (guilt) in German Criminal Law," which is his PhD dissertation topic. He will also present "Presumed Impartiality and Disqualification in ICL: Analyzing the Ambiguous Role of the ‘International Criminal Judge," an ongoing research project, in which, he says,
"I try to investigate how specific socio-institutional dynamics in the field of international criminal justice have shaped ICL’s legal framework on disqualification and impartiality. I explore the professional identity of international criminal judges through an analysis of disqualification decisions to argue that conflicting role expectations result in a foundational "role ambiguity," which influences the application and interpretation of procedural law on judicial impartiality."
This is a free event and all are welcome. Feel free to bring your lunch. Registration is required.
