* The 33rd Corbishley Lecture was given on 15 September by
Professor Joseph Weiler of the New York School of Law on the subject
"State, Faith and Nation - the European Conundrum".
This lecture in the House of Commons attracted much attention,
was very well attended and greeted with great acclaim.
It was one of
the best lectures I have ever heard, steering a clear and
persuasive course through some very choppy waters. I had read
his address to the European Court but it was illuminating to
hear him in person. I am very glad that I didn’t miss it.
I
thought Professor Weiler gave an excellent presentation, and
handled the questions extremely well.
renewed thanks for the
excellent meeting the other day.
I thought the lecture was
brilliant, but as usual too little question and discussion time.
