The Institute of European and Comparative Law hosted a virtual one-day workshop on Brexit, which took place via Zoom on Monday 21 September 2020. Given that the transition period had not been extended, leading scholars explored the UK’s future in Europe from a legal perspective. Building on two previous Brexit Symposia in February 2018 and March 2019, this workshop was entitled “British-European Relations Post-Brexit: A Legal Kaleidoscope”. It set out and discussed the potential and problems of Brexit in the three separate panels, which were dedicated to the (1) international/institutional, (2) commercial, and (3) personal/private dimensions.

Making the most of the virtual workshop setting, panellists gave introductory statements to address their particular topic during the first half of each session. The second half of each session was available for substantive panel discussion. You can watch the entire workshop recordings below.
