Open Society Justice Initiative
In February 2014, the CPP submitted a research memorandum to the Open Society Justice Initiative, which examined European Union law currently regulating access to medicines. In addition, this memorandum identified and assessed key legal strategies for promoting increased access to medicines in the European Union, particularly in newly impoverished member states.
The project was supervised by Jessica Staples (a LLM student) and Emma Bickerstaffe (a PhD student). The members of the research team were Edward Bechard-Torres, Maximillian Evans, Harriet Fox, Meg O’Brien, Sarah Trotter and Adure Uzo-Peters (LLM students).
The team was supervised by Professor David Feldman and Dr Michael Waibel.
Inter-American Court of Human Rights
In March of 2014 the CPP completed the third research memorandum for the Inter-American Court of Human Rights on an active case before the court. A team of graduate students tackled a research question spanning national, regional, and international jurisdictions and produced a rigorous and substantial analysis of existing and developing law of human rights.
The Inter-American Court, established in 1969 and brought into existence to protect human rights in the Americas, serves as a safeguard of Convention rights in twenty five American Nations. The Court decides contentious proceedings against American States and gives advisory opinions on the interpretation of the American Convention on Human Rights.
The research team was supervised by to members of the CPP Executive Committee, Nino Guruli (PhD student) and Peter Dunne (an LLM student). The researchers were eight LLM students (Moon J. Choi, Stephen Clark, Julia Dornbusch, Franca Luisa Maria Maurer, Dragana Nikolic, Gaiane Nuridzhanian, Joe O'Connor and Alice Ruzza).
The team was advised by Professor David Feldman and Dr Claire Fenton-Glynn.
Blueprint for Free Speech (request from Trust Law Connect)
In May 2014, the CPP submitted a research memorandum to Blueprint for Free Speech, a free library of research on freedom of expression laws around the world, on a request by Trust Law Connect. The memorandum tackled research questions concerning the defamation, censorship and broadcast licensing regime in the UK and highlighted gaps in the law and possible reforms in each of the three areas.
The research team was supervised by two members of the CPP Executive Committee, Chintan Chandrachud (PhD student) and Trina Malone (LLM student). The researchers comprised five LLM students – Asimina Michailidou, Alessia Riposi, Ashleigh Light, Emma Horner and Manini Brar.
The team was advised by Professor David Feldman and Dr Stephanie Palmer.
