Banning Burqas: A View from Postsecular Comparative Law
No full textRalf Michaels, Arthur Larson Professor of Law at Duke Law School, delivered the Annual Bernstein Lecture in Comparative Law titled Banning Burqas: A View from Postsecular Comparative Law. When France banned Islamic face veils in 2010, many considered this a French eccentricity. Now more and more countries are enacting, or at least considering, similar legislation. Taking the perspective of postsecular comparative law, the lecture looks at the ways in which Western legal systems understand and construct religious law and their own relation to it.

Postsäkulare Rechtsvergleichung und deliberativer Diskurs - Koreferat zum Beitrag von Ralf Michaels = Post-secular Comparative Law and Deliberative Discourse - An accompaniment to Ralf Michaels’ lecture
No full textRalf Michaels macht für den Vergleich von religiösen Rechten den Gedanken Habermas’ einer postsäkularen Gesellschaft fruchtbar, wonach Religionen auch im säkularen Staat eine Bedeutungsrolle zukommt.

This forms the starting point for the following considerations on the role of religious legal views in the context of comparative law and the resulting methodological requirements

Equity as a component of climate’s contemporary empire:A response to the Montesquieu Lecture by Ralf Michaels
No full textThis response considers equity as a normative dimension to Montesquieu’s climate theory, as framed in the lecture by Ralf Michaels. In particular, this response explores the relation of climate theory to the manifestation of equity and the equity principle of common but differentiated responsibility located within the international legal climate change regime. This exploration will cover two facets, namely the current application (if at all) of climate theory to international climate change law, and the positioning of equity and common but differentiated responsibility as a component to climate theory within the context of the international legal climate change regime
