Discussions & Interviews

ICJV aims to encourage discussion on human rights and the rule of law within the profession — both in-person and online. This includes holding continuing professional development sessions and public events, as well as recording one-on-one conversations with experienced jurists ‘in the field’—both practitioners and academics.

We provide recorded events and interviews here as a resource for all interested in topics related to ICJV’s work.
