Event: Conference - Law, Poverty and Economic Inequality,
Date: 3 - 4 April, 2008
Theme: The conference hopes to raise the fundamental
question about what the law and legal institutions can do to alleviate poverty
and economic inequality. The conference will explore contemporary
constitutional strategies, such as the incorporation of economic, social and
cultural rights in constitutions (as evidenced by the South African
experience), among other formal legal strategies, in relation to grassroots
anti-poverty campaigns, such as the poor people's economic and human rights
campaign in the United States and the homeless and landless people's federation
in Asia and elsewhere. This investigation will also examine the
limitation of legal strategies in the face of entrenched economic and social
structural impediments to equality.
Lawyers, law teachers, and
human rights advocates are particularly encouraged to attend.
