Covid19 has had a profound effect on our lives, our health and our relationships. But what impact has it had on the constitutional framework and the norms which underpin that framework? Drawing on comparative examples from the UK, Ireland, Europe and far beyond, in conversation with leading experts in the field, this seminar asks: How are governments responding to Covid19 in a changing field? And how are constitutions framing and shaping those responses? More fundamentally, has the Covid crisis uncovered a deeper constitutional malaise?

This seminar is co-hosted by the British-Irish Chapter of ICON-S (the International Society of Public Law) and TriCON and is generously supported by the Jean Monnet Centre of Excellence in Constitutional Governance in Europe at Trinity College Dublin. It is also part of Constitutional Governance in Europe series, supported by the ERASMUS programme.
