CCLE hosted Professor Neil H Buchanan as a Sutherland Fellow
In October 2024, the CCLE hosted Professor Neil H Buchanan as a Sutherland Fellow in UCD. Professor Buchanan is both an economist and lawyer, with a PhD in economics from Harvard University and a PhD in law from Monash University. These interests coalesce in the areas of intergenerational justice, and taxation and welfare, where he has written extensively.
During his visit to UCD, Professor Buchanan gave very generously of his time to faculty and students: delivering a staff seminar entitled Ownership, Myths, and the Legitimacy of Law; a class to students in the legal ethics module, taught by Dr Emer Hunt, on the question of what we owe future generations, taking the environment and democratic government as exemplars; and a stimulating ‘brown bag lunch’ talk to the CCLE on the forthcoming US Presidential election and the procedures relating to the electoral college under the 12th Amendment.
