The essential questions that were tackled in this first event ranged from whether and how the courts contribute to the development of public law to if they are entitled to do so and to their effectiveness of doing so. The event was organized as a three hour discussion of Socratic-platonic character led and animated by the Right Honorable Lord Justice John Laws, between two distinguished personalities, in this case Professors Sabino Cassese and Paul Craig, with the participation of invited discussants in this case the Professors: Jean Bernard Auby, Luis Maria Diez Picazo, Ana Maria Guerra Martins and Martin Nettesheim. The event started at 3pm and was concluded by 6pm. A formal dinner for registered participants followed as part of the College's formal dinner of the day.
