9h30-9h50 - Radek Píša, PhD. Candidate, Charles University, Constitutional Law
Do courts really vary from public opinion?
Courts are usually imagined as institutions providing additional, structural perspective; this is one of the very basic assumptions behind the most theories of judicial legitimacy (most notably Alexy’s argumentative representation). My presentation is going to explore reasons why this is possibly an incorrect assessment. I intend to use Czech and Israeli cases during this reasoning.
Discusssant: Tom Parr

9h50-10h10 - Darina Jandova, PhD. Candidate, Charles University, Labour Law
Obesity and discrimination. Did the CJEU go too far?
In the recent case Kaltoft vs. Denmark the CJEU has ruled that obesity can be in specific cases considered discriminative on the ground of disability. I will briefly summarize the case and then present arguments to encourage discussion whether this decision is right and desirable or whether the CJEU went beyond the provisions of the European anti-discrimination directives.
Discussant: Greg Bognar

10h30-10h50 - Tomas Strelecek, PhD. Candidate, Charles University, Civil Law
How to render Czech evidence-seeking in civil litigation law even more democratic? I will present the main differences between material and formal truth in civil litigation in democratic and totalitarian regimes. I will then present how in the Czech republic we abolished the principle of material truth in contentious civil litigation as in order to render it more democratic and more in line with the idea of a rule of law. The current Czech law regulating contentious civil procedure is rather free of residuals from totalitarianism. However, I will identify points which can be changed to to make it even more democratic.
Discussant: Petr Agha

10h50-11h10 - Elmira Lyapina, PhD student, Charles University, Public International Law
What are the key challenges for creation the adequate legal basis for EU-RUSSIA gas relations?
In order to improve the current EU-RUSSIA gas relations, there is a need to establish the dispute resolution body. Moreover, to avoid unpredictable decisions, occurs a need to design substantive legal basis. In my presentation, I will identify which key requirements the dispute resolution body and the substantive legal framework should meet.
Discussant: Radek Píša

11h10-11h30 - Tomas Friedel, PhD. Candidate, Charles University, Dept. of Political Sc. and Sociology
Judicial Disqualification and Social Media Friendships
The presentation considers the impact of social media connections of judges on judicial impartiality. At first, the notion of judicial impartiality is introduced (distinction between actual impartiality and appearance of impartiality is mentioned). In the following part, the nature of social media connections is discussed and compared to the real-life connections with regard to threats they could mean to judicial impartiality.

The Wrongness of Discrimination: A Defence of Pluralism

Abstract: Some philosophers defend a harm-based account of the wrongness of discrimination, according to which we can explain the wrongness of discrimination with reference to the harmfulness of discriminatory acts. Against this view, I offer two objections. The conditions objection states that the harm-based account implausibly fails to recognize that harmless discrimination can be wrong. The explanation objection states that the harm-based account fails adequately to identify all of the wrong-making properties of discriminatory acts. On this basis, I argue that the structure of a satisfactory view cannot be exclusively outcome-focused. A more promising view must also incorporate a concern for the deliberation of the discriminator and, in particular, the reasons that motivate or fail to motivate her action. This result is not only philosophically interesting, it also has implications for the social and political institutions that we ought to support.

Proxy votes for under-age citizens: Positive or negative discrimination?

Abstract: The idea that families with children could cast additional votes at elections has been raised, once again, during the debates surrounding the drafting of the new Fundamental Law of Hungary. While such solutions were never enacted, a good deal of legal and philosophical arguments have been formulated, both pro and con. My presentation first discusses rights-based arguments focusing on the discriminative character of voting age limits. Second, I turn to the broader issue of discrimination as it appeared in the Hungarian context. While age limits are arguably discriminative against under-age citizens, in the Hungarian debate the concern was raised that proxy votes cast by parents may be discriminative against non-parents on the one hand, and may lead to the over-representation of certain social groups (such as Christian or Gypsy families) on the other.

Discrimination against vegans

Abstract : Discrimination against vegans has some features in common with others such as ageism and lookism, especially in that it remains mostly invisible, even if it affects a non-negligible number of people. However, discrimination against vegans has some distinctive characteristics. It is a form of discrimination whose victims are particularly well aware of. However, vegans typically choose not to fight it. This happens as it is in fact a second order discrimination resulting from discrimination against nonhuman animals, on which vegans focus. If the first order discrimination (the one against nonhuman animals) is wrong, then all instances of discrimination against vegans are wrong too. If discrimination against nonhuman animals is correct, or it is not really a form of discrimination at all, then many (though not all) forms of private discrimination against vegans can be right, but a number of instances of public discrimination against them will still be very hard t o defend.

Disability Discrimination in Health Care

Many philosophers, health service researchers, and disability advocates worry that people with chronic or permanent disabilities may be unfairly discriminated against in health care, even when health care resources are allocated on the basis of standard prioritization methods (like cost-effectiveness analysis). In the first part of this talk, I present and clarify the disability discrimination objection. I explain and illustrate the ways in which people with disabilities may be disadvantaged in health care resource allocation, and discuss whether the disadvantages are unfair. In the second part, I ask whether the philosophical problem applies in real life; that is, whether real-life priority setting exercises would in fact result in unfair discrimination against people with disabilities.

Proportionality and the Global Model of Constitutional Rights

Proportionality is widely considered to be the most important doctrine of constitutional law around the globe. But what is the point of the principle of proportionality? In my presentation I will argue that proportionality has to be considered in conjunction with the other features of what I have called ‘the global model of constitutional rights’: rights inflation, vertical as well as horizontal effect of rights, and negative and positive obligations, including social rights. The global model of constitutional rights is best explained as being concerned with the protection of every person’s autonomy: the point of rights is not to disable the state in certain ways, but rather to enable every person to live his or her life autonomously. Every person’s autonomy is limited by every other person’s equal claim to autonomy; hence, the point of state policies is to resolve conflicts of autonomy interests and to specify the spheres ofautonomy of equal citizens. Proportionality offers a useful structure that guides judges in their inquiry as to whether a given policy resolves a conflict of autonomy interests in a reasonable way.

Kai Möller is an Associate Professor of Law at the LSE.

Why is constitutional review crucial in post-communist countries? Courts are usually perceived (and criticized) as counter-majoritarian institutions, concept coined by (Bickel 1986). Contrary to this, Gerald Rosenberg claimed that US Supreme Court is incapable to bring about social change, since it possesses no power to enforce it (Rosenberg 1993). Rosenberg’s work is one of the inspirational sources to Ran Hirschl, who considers modern politicians to be agenda setters for powerful judicial bodies. In his view, courts enforce largely unpopular economic policies on behalf of the politicians (Hirschl 2006). Hirschl connects this political arrangement with the rise of neoliberal economic policies, most prominently in Israel – where the introduction of constitutional review in early 1990s coincided with radical shift from left and Keynesian doctrines (Hirschl 1998). I would like to argue that he misses the fact that Israel’s society wasn’t actually liberal before this transition (I use liberal in this context simply as caring for rights). In my opinion, this arrangement parallels post-communist world: constitutional review emerging from the lack of genuine right-based discourse (and playing along with the politicians in their agenda as a secondary outcome). I would like to argue that this arrangement has proven itself to be dysfunctional. As a product designed to maintain certain privileges, yet lacking legitimacy gained from past mistakes (US model) or history (German model), the central European model of constitutional review was left without substantial independent function. This situation can lead to direct conflict (Hungarian and, currently, Poland), or the court can be filled with second-rank personalities (Slovakia).

15h35-16h55 - Tito Rendas, PhD. Candidate, Universidade Católica Portuguesa Respondent: Lucie Straková

“To infinity and beyond”? The duration of copyright protection Copyright-wise, the turn of the year has a special flavor. Since copyright protection expires at the end of the calendar year of the work’s last year of protection, every January 1st a number of literary and artistic works enter the public domain. 2016 greeted copyright-reliant industries with the expiry of copyright in Adolf Hitler’s Mein Kampf and Anne Frank’s Diary in the European Union. Term expiry is, in fact, the most common form of loss of copyright protection. The existing term to the authors’ exclusive rights over their works is thus the intergenerational issue in copyright law.

My presentation will start with a brief tour through the history of the copyright term in the European Union and the United States. In this tour, I will make the trend of copyright term extension palpable. I will then try to show that such an extension lacks a plausible justification by countering the arguments that have been put forward in favor of longer copyright terms. I will argue, moreover, that the current duration of copyright protection is counterproductive: it harms creative production, instead of stimulating it, by limiting the number of works available in the public domain – works that the subsequent creative activity relies on. The public domain is a vital part of the copyright equation and should not be plundered without a robust justification. Absent such a justification, any future attempts to increase the term of protection should be rejected.

16h10-16h30 Lucie Straková, PhD. Candidate, Mazaryk University, Brno Respondent : Tito Rendas

Should non-commercial use on the Internet be excluded from the scope of copyright collective management societies? The presentation aims to provide some thoughts about relation of collective rights management and the possibility of granting a licence for non-commercial use. As new European directive on collective management of rights states, all the member states have to bring into their law specific provisions giving the right holders the possibility to licence their work for non-commercial use at the same time while they are represented by collective management society. The obligation to allow the author to grant a license for non-commercial purposes, even if the author is represented by a collective management society means that they have to overdo their current system and rethink their usual reluctance in case of author’s willingness of granting a non-commercial license. Nowadays in this case the author is facing a risk of penalisation by his collecting society. This provision is mostly targeted to online works so the question is whether managing this area by collecting society is appropriate and necessary.

This contribution will present examples of non-commercial licensing and then will try to respond the question, whether we actually need collective management societies for the non-commercial use on the Internet. I would like to defend the position that we don't need collective management societies for non-commercial licensing. It's economically ineffective, there might be a need for creation a huge evidence system, and also it would administratively demanding, although new directive wants the process to be as simple as possible for the author."

16h30-16h50, Armando Rocha, PhD. Candidate, Universidade Católica Portuguesa Respondent: Radek Píša

Private Actors, Climate Change and the Law of the Sea Climate change is the defining issue of our time, and certainly the most significant challenge for current marine environmental law. At the international level, several instruments and policies have been adopted but have failed to provide for a proper protection of the marine environment. The reason for this failure regards the “marine environmental tragedy” that States are living in: no one has an incentive to change its policies and behaviours unless others change theirs as well. One option (yet not sufficient per se) is to equip private actors with subjective environmental rights and specific mechanisms of enforcement of these rights. The virtue of bringing private actors into the fight for the preservation of the marine environment lies in the fact that they can more clearly articulate concerns with marine environment, since they are less concerned with short-term goals (as elections, or the state of diplomatic relations) and, as such, might be the most appropriate representatives of future generations.
