Reforming Freedom of Expression Legislation in Brazil: from online public participation to the impact on intellectual property
Brazil has just approved its own Internet Bill of Rights. Before the three years in which the National Congress discussed complex issues such as net neutrality, intermediaries’ liability, intellectual property and privacy (in the wake of the Snowden revelations), the Draft Bill of Law was submitted to an online consultation that has fostered discussion amongst different stakeholders. The role of academia was especially important by framing the debate and assessing how international experiences could be adapted to the national context. Freedom of expression is one right that stands out in the Internet Bill of Rights. From a tentative copyright reform to a recent decision by the Supreme Court allowing the publishing of non-authorized biographies, the landscape for the protection of free speech could be changing for the better on one side. On the other, several Bills of Law are being discussed in the Congress in order to create a dangerously broad and unrestricted right to be forgotten. The talk will address those changes, focusing on the different ways in which free speech legislation is being reformed in Brazil.

In 1980, Sir Roy Goode created the Centre for Commercial Law Studies to promote the systematic study and research of national and international commercial law and its social and economic implications. It also works to develop a body of knowledge, information and skills that can be placed at the service of government, public bodies, overseas institutions, the legal profession, industry and commerce. In its research and teaching, the Centre focuses strongly on the global development of international commercial law.
The Centre for Commercial Law Studies is especially well placed to undertake this mission. Lincoln's Inn Fields is in the heart of legal London and only a short flight from Brussels, the administrative capital of the European Union. Members of academic staff are drawn from all parts of the world. A particular feature of our research and teaching is the participation of leading lawyers working in the finance centres of the City. Their cutting edge practical experience, combined with the academic credentials of our faculty, allow us to create a superbly balanced educational programme.
CCLS is a dedicated postgraduate centre offering LLM, MSc, Diploma and Certificate programmes in the various aspects of commercial law. The Centre currently has 28 academic members of staff and 136 registered research students on the PhD programme, giving the Queen Mary School of Law 63 members of academic staff and 222 doctoral researchers in total.
The Centre is international in composition and outlook. It is able to draw on the input of distinguished resident and visiting scholars from overseas and to engage in comparative examination of the legal systems of other countries. This gives our students an exceptionally rich study environment. We take particular care to ensure that the excellence of our academic programme is combined with a friendly and welcoming atmosphere within the Centre. We pay special attention to the needs of overseas students or visitors from overseas.
