The Committee of the Trinity College Dublin Law Student Colloquium is delighted to announce our call for speakers for the 15th annual Colloquium, which will be held on February 17th 2023. The Colloquium is Ireland’s leading student conference and welcomes applications from undergraduate and postgraduate students as well as recent graduates in practice. Each year, we have the pleasure of hosting students from across Ireland and around the globe to present their papers/research.

If you are interested in speaking at the Colloquium, please submit an abstract on any area of law for anonymous consideration by the Committee by 17:00 (Irish Time - GMT) Thursday, the 29th of December 2022 via this link: https://lnkd.in/eFr39P6z

Abstracts should be between 400-500 words and may be on any area of law.

What is an Abstract?
An abstract is a summary of the paper which you intend to present, and should outline your approach to the issues. Abstracts from prospective speakers should be between 400 and 500 words long. The Committee considers abstracts anonymously. While there are no hard and fast rules as to format, a good abstract will excite interest and should demonstrate a sound knowledge of the subject, a clear structure and original and well-constructed analysis.

The author of the best paper will receive a cash prize of €250 and the winning paper will be published in the Trinity College Law Review (https://lnkd.in/eWyHJ6KC).

The 14th edition of the TCD Law Student Colloquium has just been completed. Once again, it has been a tremendously successful event that could push back the frontiers of legal scholarship and provide thoughtful and innovative answers to some of the most important contemporary legal questions. Still, nothing of that could have been possible without the generous and skillful contribution of several people who more than deserve to be thanked.

Many thanks to Prof Caoimhin MacMaolain and to Sean O'Brien from the School of Law for having always provided us with great help and support.

Many thanks to Marta Markey and to Lucia Della Ventura for having chaired last year's online edition so brilliantly and laid the steady foundations of this year's Colloquium.

Many thanks to Justice Patricia Ryan for her help in the organisation of the 11th edition of the Brian Lenihan Memorial Address.

Many thanks to the Attorney General of Ireland, Mr Paul Gallagher, who delivered a brilliant and inspiring Address on the 'Legal Frameworks and Challenges of Technology and Artificial Intelligence'.

Many thanks to the members of our Organizing Committee, Ainsley Hamilton, Anna Kingston, Lauryn Dunphy, Hannah Egan, Sophie Treacy, Zoe Ní Thiomáin, Alexandru Gociu, Sean Mulvaney, Zhe Zhang and Samuel Lemire for their diligent and sustained work over the last months.

Many thanks to those who accepted to chair the nine panels with generosity and competence.

Finally, many thanks to everyone who presented during the Colloquium and attended it. You never cease to amaze and to inspire us with the depth of your knowledge, your passion for your topic and your desire to learn.

Therefore, let's hope that we will see you next year, hopefully within the walls of Trinity College Dublin!

To conclude the seventh panel on Environmental Law, Stavros Pantos presents his paper “Protecting the 'Green Swan': Evaluating the Prudential Supervision of Climate Change Risks in Europe,” an examination of the climate stress tests designed by the ECB/ESRB to identify and assess climate related risks. Pantos then offers an innovative and well thought-out proposal on how enhanced prudential authorities and supervisory bodies can better respond to climate-related financial risks.

Following the update of the Nigerian government's approach towards social media, Oyinkan Adebimpe demonstrated Nigeria’s legislation procedure of anti-social media bills and compared the Irish online safety and media regulation bill from the standpoint of trust and safety. The eighth panel on Media Law could not have been completed better considering the compelling character of Ms Adebimpe's arguments and the relevance of her innovative presentation.

In the panel on Media Law, Yueh-Wen Fang identifies the issues caused by the anonymous freedom of speech on social media, analyses the boundary of this constitutional right and that of its potential liability, and discusses the possible solution from both regulation and corporate obligation perspectives. As great powers come with great responsibilities, this presentation brilliantly highlights the importance of upholding accountability on social media so their virtues can outshine their flaws.

In the panel on Environmental Law, Anna Katharina Damm presents her brilliant paper on 'Public Access to Environmental Information - Examination of the relationship between corporations and environmental legislation, particularly through the lens of the Aarhaus Convention'. As the Aarhus Convention only applies to public authority, she interrogates how and why the Court of Justice interpret this legislation in the case of corporate actors. Ultimately, she argues that, as such, legislators are better placed than the judiciary to respond to these challenges. This very interesting presentation then opens innovative perspectives on how environmental issues should be apprehended regarding the access to information.

In the eighth panel on Environmental Law, Alexandru Gociu makes a very interesting presentation on 'Welfare Based Energy Policy in Climate Litigation Context'- Examination of People v Article Oil and the right of individuals to challenge governmental policy on climate change under the Norwegian constitution Art 112'. Gociu argues that 'a strong welfare system would be necessary to maintain the popular support for the transition process to renewable sources of energy.' This input should certainly guide our individual and collective actions to secure the energy transition and to make it a reality.

In the seventh panel on Media Law, Pia Huesch studies the application of non-intervention principle to cyber operations, compared different interpretations under different circumstances. She discusses whether the reassessment of the principle of non-intervention in line with the principle of self-determination provides new insights and a clearer, more suitable scope for the non-intervention principle. Her findings might contribute significantly to address contemporary legal issues.

The ninth panel on Constitutional Law continues to be extremely interesting as Kush Popat presents his brilliant and original analysis of the Weiss Case. European integration is now at crossroads and the debate on the integrity of the EU legal order and the sovereignty of its Member States should be held rather than feared. That is made possible today thanks to Kush Popat's well-researched and eloquent inputs.

Donato Vese, as the first presenter in the eight panel on Media Law that is chaired by Neville Cox, discusses the phenomenon of fake news and then evaluates the legislative and administrative measures on the national and EU level. This research also proposes a decentralised regulating approach to solve this very important contemporary issue.
