The event will unpack the doctrinal, conceptual, and operational dimensions of dignity law through panels involving judges, legal scholars, clinical educators, and students. Participants will explore how dignity is invoked in courtrooms, embedded in clinical pedagogy, and challenged through case law, with a specific focus on Article 21 jurisprudence, preventive detention, and social justice litigation.
