Constitutional Democracy in Turkey

The Henry Morris Lecture in International and Comparative Law will next be held on Tuesday, November 6, 2012, at noon at the Chicago-Kent College of Law.  The speaker is Dr. Bertil Emrah Oder, Dean and Professor of Constitutional Law at Koc Unversity Law School in Turkey.  She will examine Turkish constitutionalism through the evolution of its constitutions.  She'll also review ongoing debates about whether Turkey should pass constitutional amendments or draft a new constitution.  

Although the day is otherwise a busy one with the U.S. elections taking place on the same day, it promises to be a good event.  The lecture is free and open to the public.  Registration is not required.  Call 312-906-5090 for more information.

Turkey celebrated its national holiday yesterday.
