You’re invited to the launch event of the Liverpool Public Law Unit (LPLU). The unit is formed of a range of academics, and focuses on analyses of institutional power, theory, and multi-level governance. LPLU covers traditional realms of public law, but also explores how other areas of law can regulate public life, and what constitutes public law and why, exploring Marxist, critical and feminist perspectives.

The Inaugural lecture for our launch event will be given by Camila Vergara on the topic of “Anti-Oligarchic Constitutionalism”. Camila is a senior lecturer at the University of Essex and the author of “Systemic Corruption: Constitutional Ideas for an Anti-Oligarchic Republic”. She was recently awarded the BIAPT Early-Career Prize for her scholarship.
