About the Course

"Be you so high, the law is above you." This principle, part of the Rule of Law, has come to represent the powerful idea that even politicians and monarchs are bound by the law. However in an age of powerful corporations, international cyber-crime and popular support for authoritarian leaders, the Rule of Law is under threat worldwide. This course, run by the Bingham Centre of the British Institute of International and Comparative Law, will provide an introduction to headline issues around the Rule of Law. Each week we will tackle aspects of the Rule of Law and discuss how they are impacted by current events. The course will use video lectures, recommended reading, discussion questions and activities to enable you to develop your own perspective on the Rule of Law. Though this course sits at the intersection of law and politics, participants do not require any formal educational background in either of these subjects to join. The course will take place over 6 weeks with approximately 3 hours of content each week....

This course was very interesting. It made me have a higher awareness of the value of human rights and the importance of the rule of law.

The content of the course is extremely interesting and while the readings can be a bit lengthy sometimes, it is strongly recommended

Some of the questions posed are far too complex to be dealt with by beginners. And to risk people’s personal security by posting comments on an international forum could be seen as irresponsible.
