Toboggan Lodge
NEW CONVERSATIONS SERIES
The ICM looks forward to your participation in its "New Conversations Series," which will be informal gatherings for reflection on works in progress. No preparation necessary.
Dr. Khalil presents an alternative framework for the definition, location, and understanding of judicial corruption in the hybrid Islamic-Common Law courts of Sudan and of Arab countries. Central to this framework is the forensic analysis of the “judicial decision text,” the principal device of the corrupt judge and the main crime scene abounding in evidence.
The alternative framework is a critique of anti-corruption activities by the World Bank, the United Nations, Transparency International, Mo Ibrahim Foundation, and Civil Society Organizations.
Dr. Khalil will discuss the comparative constructions, in the US and in the Muslim Arab world, of the “corrupt judge” as possessed by the devil and as captured by evil (Laura S. Underkuffler Professor of Law Duke University).
