Workshop: Law, Neoliberalism and Social Protest: Lessons from TTIP

On May 16-17, 2016, the University of Brighton will host a workshop on "Law, Neoliberalism and Social Protest: Lessons from TTIP." Here's the idea:
The academic workshop will critically discuss the process of negotiation and drafting of the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP), and certain controversial aspects of its proposed content. It will bring together legal scholars, social scientists and activists in order to explore the role law and lawyers have so far played in the social contestation over TTIP and to draw more general lessons about the role of law in social movements.
