Judicial Colloquia

2006-2013

A group of about 30 participants gathered in close quartersParticipants, presenters and staff at the West African Judicial Colloquium 2006.

The Brandeis Judicial Colloquia series fostered an exchange of experience and expertise between judges in national judiciaries and those on international courts, with the aim of establishing an ongoing dialogue on fundamental issues that affect them both.

This programming for national judges was a natural complement to the Brandeis' work with international judges (see the Brandeis Institute for International Judges), as courts around the world became increasingly interconnected in both their legal thinking and their efforts to cooperate across boundaries and judicial spheres in the interest of justice.

The reports and other outputs of the colloquia series are of enduring value for those working at, or interested in, the intersection of national and international law and legal processes.
