Professor David Clark of the Flinders Law School will speak on Magna Carta: The Value of a Constitutional Myth at an upcoming Friday at the Library.

The Magna Carta was signed by King John 800 years ago. Professor Clark, a world expert in the Magna Carta, will present a lunchtime talk on its place in the legal framework of the modern world.

Professor Clark has published papers on Magna Carta since the year 2000. He recently wrote for a book published by the American Bar Association and will present a paper at a special Senate Seminar on the Charter in October. This work is a part of a long term interest in key constitutional highlights.

The talk will be at 12.30pm on Friday, May 29, in the Noel Stockdale Room of the Central Library.

This event is part of the About Time History Festival.
