Join us Thursday, May 19, at 2:00 p.m. EDT for a Foreign and Comparative Law Webinar entitled, Afghanistan’s Legal Order in Transition: The Possible Path Forward in an Uncertain Environment.
This webinar will explore the ramifications of the Taliban’s return for the Afghan legal order. We will discuss the Taliban’s constitutional vision and address what type of a constitution the Taliban may draft for a transformed Afghan society. We will also look at the Taliban’s quick restaffing of the judiciary, and their official conduct regarding Afghanistan’s extant laws. Specifically, hints from the Taliban’s first spell in power in 1990s will be thoroughly discussed.
This webinar will be provided by a guest speaker, Shamshad Pasarlay. He is a visiting lecturer at the University of Chicago Law School.

His LL.M and Ph.D. in comparative law are from the University of Washington. His research and scholarly interests include comparative constitutional studies, Afghanistan’s constitutional history, judicial politics, religion and constitution-making, and constitutional engineering in sharply divided societies.
