Building Bridges in European and Human Rights Law: Essays in Honour and Memory of Paul Heim CMG

This unique book, formed as a series of essays in honour of the memory of Paul Heim CMG, the founder of Lincoln’s Inn European Group, focusses on the building of bridges between individuals and institutions in European, international, and human rights law.

The book features contributions from some of the foremost current or former European and international judges; leading practitioners and officials, each with links to Lincoln’s Inn, and former recipients of Lincoln’s Inn’s dedicated scholarship programmes.

The approachable style of the book makes it readily accessible for a wide range of readers including legal scholars, practitioners, students, and those with a general interest in the application of the law and justice in today’s interconnected world. Each contribution provides personal reflections and expertise on selected aspects of European and human rights law, and the personal, professional, and technical bridges involved in their development and maintenance, together with insights into their future. The book provides multi-level perspectives on the Court of Justice of the European Union, the EFTA Court, the European Court of Human Rights, and the International Criminal Court, and the interaction of their jurisprudence with domestic law and between themselves, alongside our ever-evolving societies.
