NYU School of Law

Overview

The purpose of this thought-provoking series is to offer a unique opportunity to delve into the fascinating intersections of law, culture, people and society. Hosted at the NYU Jean Monnet Center for International and Regional Economic Law & Justice, this series brings together prominent figures in law and related fields to discuss their ongoing research and share unconventional insights that challenge mainstream perspectives.

Curated by a group of this year’s Emile Noël Fellows, the series is designed as a collaborative space for scholars to present and discuss distinctive facets of law, fostering an environment of intellectual exploration and academic enrichment. It aims to spotlight the intersections of law with diverse fields and ideas, encouraging collisions between seemingly disconnected areas.

This series is more than just lectures—it is a space for in-depth conversations and exchanging ideas that transcend conventional legal discussions. With a focus on “the secret lives” of legal systems, institutions, people and practices, these seminars encourage participants to explore the often-hidden dimensions and intricacies of law.
