SUMMARY:Criminal Law and the Constitution of the Postcolony: India (A Book Panel)
DESCRIPTION:Criminal Law and the Constitution of the Postcolony: India (A Book Panel) \n\n\n\nImagine adopting a constitution notionally designed to install “The People” as the true repository of sovereign power and to throw off the colonial yoke\, yet retaining a criminal justice system designed to maximize the police power of the colonial sovereign. That’s what happened when India adopted its Constitution in 1950 while leaving its 19th century colonial criminal codes in place. \n\n\n\nThis MCLR+ event assembles a panel of scholars and lawyers to explore fundamental issues of popular sovereignty and the intersection of constitutional and criminal law that lie at the heart of Sandipto Dasgupta’s Legalizing the Revolution: India and the Constitution of the Postcolony (Cambridge UP 2024). \n\n\n\nThis book panel forms part of the MCLR+ series of events\, publications\, and resources focussed on Indian criminal law. [For further information\, please consult MCLR+ Resources: India.] \n\n\n\nNovember 4\, 2025 @ 9:30-11am (EST) / 8-9:30pm (IST) \n\n\n\n\n\n► To join us for this free online event\, please register here. Registration is encouraged\, but not required; if you prefer to join the event directly\, simply head over to the MCLR+ YouTube channel at the time of the event (please note the time zone).

SUMMARY:From Treason to Trump: Felony’s Medieval Origins and Modern Resilience (A Book Forum)
DESCRIPTION:From Treason to Trump: Felony’s Medieval Origins and Modern Resilience (A Book Forum) \n\n\n\nIn The Making of Felony Procedure in Middle English Literature (Oxford 2024)\, Elise Wang explores the medieval origins and surprising modern resilience of “felony” in contemporary criminal law. Since its appearance as the ur-crime of Anglo-Saxon proto-criminal law\, commentators\, historians\, and judges have waxed poetic about the radically exclusive evil attached to those who are branded\, “attainted\,” and just plain despised “with words of felony.” The following passage from Pollock & Maitland’s classic history of medieval English law gives a nice flavor: \n\n\n\n\nWhen the adjective felon first appears it seems to mean cruel\, fierce\, wicked\, base. Occasionally we may hear in it a note of admiration\, for fierceness may shade off into laudable courage; but in general it is as bad a word as you can give to man or thing\, and it will stand equally well for many kinds of badness\, for ferocity\, cowardice\, craft. \n\n\n\n\nThat’s memorably harsh\, even for medieval law. More startling yet\, talk of “felony” and “felons” survives to this day. Courts continue to quote the passage above to give their modern audience a flavor of what felony means today. In public discourse\, the “branding” of a criminal defendant as a “felon”–as opposed to a mere “convict”–still appears as definitive evidence of that person’s (more or less permanent and total) exclusion from the political community\, i.e.\, a type of civil death or outlawry (incl. disenfranchisement\, deportation\, and ineligibility for jobs\, benefits\, or privileges). \n\n\n\nHow can this be? What did felony mean in medieval law and literature? What does (and should?) it mean today? Does felony have a place in modern criminal law discourse and practice? \n\n\n\nJoin our interdisciplinary panel of commentators as they engage with Professor Wang’s book live on YouTube: \n\n\n\n\nElise Wang (Cal State Fullerton\, English) (author)\n\n\n\nElizabeth Papp Kamali (Harvard\, Law) (moderator)\n\n\n\nSara Butler (Ohio State\, History)\n\n\n\nJennifer Jahner (Cal Tech\, English)\n\n\n\nAlice Ristroph (Brooklyn Law School)\n\n\n\nJamie Taylor (Bryn Mawr\, English)\n\n\n\n\nThe event proceedings\, including the panelists’ commentaries and the author’s response\, will appear in a special online MCLR+ book forum. \n\n\n\nFor additional materials\, please consult MCLR+ Resources (“Felony”). \n\n\n\n\n\n► To join us for this free online event\, please register here. Registration is encouraged\, but not required; if you prefer to join the event directly\, head over to the MCLR+ YouTube channel at the time of the event (please note the time zone).

SUMMARY:Between Modern Debtors’ Prison and Modern Peonage: Economic and Poverty Sanctions in Global Perspective (Pt. 2)
DESCRIPTION:Between Modern Debtors’ Prison and Modern Peonage: Economic and Poverty Sanctions in Global Perspective (Pt. 2) \n\n\n\nThis two-part international & interdisciplinary workshop explores economic discrimination in criminal justice systems around the world.  \n\n\n\nCriminal justice systems the world over are run through with economic discrimination: from the pre-trial stage (bail\, and cash bail in particular) to the trial or bargaining stage (from a lack or scarcity of public defender services to fees for available public defenders\, along with various other fees\, charges\, and hidden taxes) to the sanction stage (fines\, more fees\, surcharges\, restitution\, etc.). What’s more\, each time an economic sanction isn’t paid\, further economic—or non-economic—sanctions are triggered\, including imprisonment and a panoply of “collateral” sanctions such as ineligibility for or loss of drivers’ and occupational licenses and public services. \n\n\n\nThe result is the systemic criminalization of poverty across the entire criminal justice process—wholly apart from the long-familiar roster of individual criminal offenses punishing poverty explicitly or implicitly (vagrancy\, loitering\, etc.) which has traditionally attracted the lion’s share of judicial and scholarly attention. \n\n\n\nThe phenomenon of criminal justice systems operating as modern debtors’ prisons cuts across countries and legal systems in the Global South and North. In countries from India to Germany\, prison–literally–is imposed as punishment for failing to pay a fine. The practice of using economic penalties as a source of government revenue is also widespread. The Kenyan judiciary finances itself partially through court fees. In the United States\, local governments enrich themselves through a net of punitive economic sanctions so dense and wide that many ensnared in it—and notably those living from paycheck to paycheck and\, disproportionately\, racialized individuals—find it impossible to escape. In effect\, they live in a state of perpetual penal peonage that resembles less a modern debtors’ prison (whose occupants\, some two centuries ago\, enjoyed enough public empathy to result in its demise) and more a form of modern slavery. \n\n\n\nThe workshop proceedings will appear in a special issue of the Modern Criminal Law Review.

SUMMARY:Lawfare in Comparative Context
DESCRIPTION:Lawfare in Comparative Context \n\n\n\nFor some time\, the term “lawfare” has spread throughout the domestic political-legal discourse\, jurisprudence\, and scholarship of countries and political systems in Latin America\, notably–but by no means exclusively–Brazil and Argentina. It has been invoked\, in various senses and for various purposes\, elsewhere around the world\, including recently in connection with the criminal investigations and prosecutions involving Donald Trump and his associates. (For background\, see Valeria Vegh Weis\, What Does Lawfare Mean in Latin America?\, Jaume Castan Pinos & Mark Friis Hau\, Lawfare: New Trajectories in Law (excerpt) & José Luis Martí\, Lawfare and Democracy) \n\n\n\nThis event brings together an international and interdisciplinary panel of commentators to investigate domestic lawfare and its rhetoric from a wide range of perspectives across a number of national\, regional\, and systemic contexts. Is there such a thing (or things) as Lawfare? If not\, is there at least a common core shared by a number of disparate concepts\, phenomena\, and political or rhetorical tools? Where does lawfare come from? Is it a new phenomenon or as old as law (and war) itself? What has it been used for\, and by whom\, and how? How does “lawfare” relate to other\, possibly related or adjacent\, concepts or labels\, such as “rule of law\,” “fake news\,” “enemy criminal law\,” “war on crime\,” “war on terror\,” “police state\,” “wehrhafte Demokratie\,” or–more prosaically–“cause lawyering”? In the end\, is lawfare a fruitful topic of thought and study\, and international and interdisciplinary reflection in particular? Does it have normative bite? Analytical power? Can it shed more light than heat? \n\n\n\nThe event proceedings will appear in a special online MCLR+ forum later this year.

SUMMARY:Nordic Criminal Law as a Normative Project: A Book Forum
DESCRIPTION:Nordic Criminal Law as a Normative Project: A Book Forum \n\n\n\nNordic criminal law is often thought of as a distinctive tradition and mode of thinking about and making criminal law. But what are we talking about when we are talking about “Nordic criminal law”? Is Nordic criminal law worth appreciating\, preserving\, or perhaps even developing\, and\, if so\, why? What about the increasingly clear indications that Nordic penal practice does not align with the dominant perception of Nordic criminal law? \n\n\n\nJørn Jacobsen’s Power\, Principle\, and Progress: Kant and the Republican Philosophy of Nordic Criminal Law (2024) addresses this multifaceted challenge of analysis and justification by developing a normative account of Nordic criminal law as a distinctive regional approach to the broader obligation of constructing and implementing a conception of criminal law as an essential part of the political arrangements necessary to promote external freedom. \n\n\n\nThe event proceedings\, including the panelists’ commentaries and the author’s response\, will appear in a special online MCLR+ book forum later this year. [In the meantime\, the event is now available in video and audio format.] \n\n\n\nThe book is available online open access here; for additional materials\, please consult MCLR+ Resources (“Nordic Criminal Law”). \n\n\n\n\n\n► To join us for this free online event\, please register here.

SUMMARY:The Prison and the Varieties of Suffering: An Exchange
DESCRIPTION:The Prison and the Varieties of Suffering: An Exchange \n\n\n\nPrisons are the predominant means through which states punish wrongdoers. Punishment\, by definition\, is supposed to be painful\, unpleasant\, or a matter of making wrongdoers suffer (as Prof Leo Zaibert tends to put it). Reflecting on her long and path-breaking career devoted to understanding prisons\, in her forthcoming book (working title: Aristotle’s Prison: A Search for Humanity and Justice)\, Prof Alison Liebling exposes the excesses of suffering and inhumanity often\, perhaps increasingly\, found in prisons. It is not merely that bad prisons happen to punish much more severely than they are supposed to do\, but that the excessive suffering they inflict is often damaging and cruel in ways that are actually at odds with the declared rehabilitative goals of the criminal justice system. With Prof Liebling’s forthcoming book as a background\, this conversation will explore some of the problematic aspects of modern prisons and punishment. \n\n\n\n► This is an online event.

SUMMARY:Decolonizing the Criminal Question: A Book Panel
DESCRIPTION:Decolonizing the Criminal Question: A Book Panel \n\n\n\nJoin us for an international panel discussion of Decolonizing the Criminal Law: Colonial Legacies\, Contemporary Problems (Oxford UP 2023) featuring the four co-editors of the book. [From the OUP website:] Within the discipline of criminology and criminal justice\, relatively little attention has been paid to the relationship between criminal law\, punishment\, and imperialism\, or the contours and exercise of penal power in the Global South. Decolonizing the Criminal Question is the first work of its kind to comprehensively place colonialism and its legacies at the heart of criminological enquiry. \n\n\n\nBy examining the reverberations of colonial history and logics in the operation of penal power\, this volume explores the uneasy relationship between criminal justice and colonialism\, bringing relevance of these legacies in criminological enquiries to the forefront of the discussion. It invites and pursues a better understanding of the links between imperialism and colonialism on the one hand\, and nationalism and globalization on the other\, by exposing the imprints of these links on processes of marginalization\, racialization\, and exclusion that are central to contemporary criminal justice practices. Covering a range of jurisdictions and themes\, Decolonizing the Criminal Question details how colonial and imperial domination relied on the internalization of hierarchies and identities — for example\, racial\, geographical\, and geopolitical — of both the colonized and the colonizer\, and shaped their subjectivity through imageries\, discourses\, and technologies. \n\n\n\nDecolonizing the Criminal Question is an open access title available under the terms of a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 International licence. It is free to download from OUP and selected open access locations. \n\n\n\nCo-sponsor: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n► This is an online event.

SUMMARY:Criminalizing Sedition: The Indian Debate in International Perspective
DESCRIPTION:Criminalizing Sedition: The Indian Debate in International Perspective \n\n\n\nClassic legacy of colonialism\, or a necessary legal implement to protect the nation-state from threats to its sovereignty? These are the seemingly competing perspectives on offer as the Indian legal system grapples with the question of what to do with the offence of sedition. At a time when petitions have been pending before the Supreme Court for more than a year\, in which the Court suggested that it viewed the offence as an unnecessary colonial legacy\, the Government-appointed Law Commission has published a report recommending retention of the offence and has published a draft penal code which claims to do away with sedition in theory by seemingly retaining it in substance. [Additional supplementary materials available @ MCLR+ Resources.] \n\n\n\nA discussion on sedition in the Indian context offers a convenient and contemporary entry to discuss what are\, ultimately\, questions at the very heart of the criminal law enterprise in modern nation states. How should the law decide where to draw the line and restrict individual autonomy which the state is designed to foster and protect\, when its expression supposedly threatens the existence of the nation state itself? [See also Abhinav Sekhri\, “A Moment of Reckoning for the Sedition Offense in India\,” MCLR+ (Sept. 24\, 2023) available at https://crimlrev.net/2023/09/24/a-moment-of-reckoning-for-the-sedition-offense-in-india-abhinav-sekhri/] \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n► This is an online event.
