CRITICAL LEGAL CONFERENCE 2016 Kent Law School 1st – 3rd September TURNING POINTS “…there are no witnesses to changes of epoch. The epochal turning is an imperceptible frontier, bound to no crucial date or event.” The present is notoriously difficult to diagnose. Are we living at a decisive turning point for global and European history, politics and law? Are we witnesses to a new epoch? Or perhaps we just have a bad case of “presentism”? The Critical Legal Conference 2016 will open a forum for critical reflection on precarious political situations, particularly that of Europe in a global context - an apposite theme for a critical conference at the University of Kent, ‘the UK’s European University’ and a point of origin for the CLC.
