Description
In a political climate where so-called populist parties are seeking to cement their power by attacking the independent judiciary and rule of law, the Senior Lawyers' Committee have a responsibility to lead the thinking on such topics. We discuss the erosion of the separation of power, camouflaging authoritarian regimes with rule of law pretense and looking for safeguards to defend the rule of law.
