This year the ELENA Course aspires to provide an engaging forum for legal practitioners and decision makers to discuss, analyse and reflect upon the legal avenues that can be used in order to advance the rights of asylum seekers and refugees. There will also be an examination of how exclusion and cessation clauses are applied. Finally, the course will focus on recent European jurisprudence on asylum law and the new roles of EU border and asylum agencies.
The course is aimed at legal practitioners who work in the area of asylum, decision makers and staff of national asylum authorities as well as students and those working in international and non-governmental organisations who specialise in asylum law.
Friday 2 December 2016
Day one will feature James C. Hathaway, James E. and Sarah A. Degan Professor of Law and Director of the Program in Refugee and Asylum Law of the University of Michigan Law School, who will introduce the International Refugee Rights Regime before focusing on the right to freedom of movement for refugees.

Day two will start with a keynote speech by Judge Anne Power-Forde SC, associate tenant at Doughty Street Chambers and former judge at the European Court of Human Rights, on European jurisprudence on asylum law.
