Law as a strategic field – with Camille Barbagallo (ELSC, European Legal Support Centre)

When and how can the law and lawyers be of use for building better worlds, or at least fending off worse ones? In this session, Camille Barbagallo from the European Legal Support Centre will present and discuss the framework of Movement Lawyering, reflecting on the limits as well as potentials of using the law in this time, and what’s necessary to win using the law as a tactic. Spoiler alert: this is not just about lawyers! ELSC’s mandate is to defend the Palestine Solidarity movement in Europe and Camille will touch upon the battles and challenges in Britain, but also discuss some of ELSC’s work in other European countries. You do not need legal knowledge to make sense of this session! ELSC https://elsc.support/ Index of Repression in Uk & Germany https://www.index-of-repression.org/
