果冻影院

果冻影院 is leading a vast international collaboration bringing together legal scholars across the world to understand and compare national legal responses to the Covid-19 pandemic.

The project, titled聽Lex-Atlas: Covid-19 (LAC19)聽jointly led by 果冻影院, King's College London and the Max Planck Institute of Comparative Public Law and International Law, seeks to provide unprecedented analysis of legal responses to Covid-19 in over 60 countries representing a diversity of regions, income and inequality levels, legal systems and political regime-type. 聽

Each country report will address the legal framework, institutional performance, public health measures, social and labour policy, and measures relating to human rights and the protection of vulnerable groups. The reports will be updated across 2021 as the national responses to the pandemic evolve.

LAC19, which is generously funded by the UK Arts and Humanities Research Council, will be a vital source of information for policymakers and political leaders to assess the effectiveness and propriety of responses to Covid-19 as well as to prepare for future global health emergencies.

LAC19 is working with聽Oxford University Press聽to publish the first 22 country reports open-access in mid-February 2021. Ultimately, the research will result in over 60 comprehensive national reports, an online database, and a final report due to be finalised in the late-Autumn 2021.

The project is led by two principle investigators: Professor Jeff King, 果冻影院 Faculty of Laws and , King鈥檚 College London, Dickson Poon School of Law.聽The project is guided by a fourteen person editorial committee that includes renowned legal scholars from around the world.聽Professor Nicola Countouris, Dr Silvia Suteu, and Dr Michael Veale (all of 果冻影院 Laws) also sit on the editorial committee and are responsible for labour law, gender and digital privacy respectively.聽LAC19 is furthermore collaborating with 果冻影院 Health of the Public and to refine the research design.

Commenting on the project, Professor King said: 鈥淭he key to this project鈥檚 promise is the extent of collaboration and careful coordination between distinguished legal experts across the world, both in the country author-teams and the editorial committee. Every country report answers a common and comprehensive set of questions.聽 And each country team undertakes to update the resource as the picture evolves.鈥�

Professor Dame Hazel Genn, 果冻影院 Vice-Provost International & Advancement and LAC19 Scientific Advisory Board member, said: 鈥湽�冻影院 is committed to bringing together intellectual capital to find innovative and workable solutions to global health problems. The LAC19 project will bring together a wealth of knowledge from across the globe to describe the wide range of legal measures to deal with Covid-19 and evaluate the impacts of different practices. This will be a huge resource for future responses to global health emergencies.鈥�
