The French Chapter of the International Society of Public Law (ICON•S), founded in 2023, is a forum for reflection and discussion on a broad range of questions and challenges in public law.
FRANCE
ABOUT
It adopts a global approach to public law, encompassing both traditional fields (constitutional, administrative, European, and international law) and issue-specific areas such as the digital world, civil liberties, public finance, electoral law, climate change, and antidiscrimination law, and encourages the interdisciplinary and critical study of law.
The Chapter seeks to create and foster national and international forums for academic discussion and exchange. Through the circulation of people and ideas, it aims to enhance the visibility of French and francophone legal scholarship internationally, to encourage French and francophone academics and practitioners to take part in ICON•S events and engage with scholars and ideas internationally, and to support and mentor early-career scholars.
Activities
The Chapter holds seminars and conferences, in person, online, and in hybrid format, including discussions of recent books in public law.
