SUMMARY:Art Not Evidence: Issues and Implications of Prosecuting Rap
DESCRIPTION:The Art Not Evidence campaign launched at the end of 2023 to advocate for a restriction on the use of creative expression as evidence in criminal trials. The campaign addresses the criminalisation of rap music\, including the increasing use of lyrics and music videos as evidence against young people accused of crime. By disregarding the culture and conventions of the genre\, and by asking courts and juries to take the music literally\, police and prosecutors not only undermine the positive aspects of rap\, denying its status as an art form and stifling creativity\, but also perpetuate harmful racist stereotypes and create a risk of wrongful conviction. \nAcross two sessions\, we will hear from experts on the cultural significance of rap music and the issues and implications of prosecuting rap\, including: colonial legacies in the criminalisation of drill music; use of drill music in ‘joint enterprise’ trials and to construct gang narratives; the need to instruct expert witnesses; Criminal Behaviour Orders to restrict the creation of music; and the implications for freedom of expression. \nThe event will provide information and insight for anyone interested in the criminal justice response to rap and popular culture\, and the current efforts for legal reform. It will also provide practical information and tools for those who work in the criminal legal system\, music industry\, or who create (or support those who create) music. \n A drinks reception will follow this Event. \nWe’re thrilled to have you join us for our upcoming event!

SUMMARY:FinTech and digital finance: (Session 3: Advising in digital finance)
DESCRIPTION:Register for the event\n\nSpeakers:  Dr Philipp Paech (LSE); Elisabeth Noble (European Banking Authority) \nElisabeth Noble\nDr Philipp Paech\nOverview of the Series \nThis co-curricular Master Class Series at LSE Law School is designed to provide students with a comprehensive introduction to regulatory and commercial law issues arising in the sphere of ‘FinTech’ and ‘Digital Finance’. Both terms are used interchangeably and refer to technology-enabled financial services and products that are either novel\, or traditional and provided in structurally novel ways. FinTech and Digital Finance do not have an existence apart\, rather\, they are part of the continuously evolving financial market as it keeps developing. \nDiscussion on FinTech typically focusses on terms such as blockchain\, stablecoin\, CBDC\, robo-advice\, and mobile payment. However\, to really understand these developments and identify key structural trends they are best discussed by reference to a number of – wider – central themes\, notably regulatory arbitrage\, the increasing use of technology\, datafication\, and the convergence of financial services with other markets\, such as social media and e-commerce. \nOur Convene Master Class Series will break down these developments and set them into their regulatory and legal context. It cuts across matters addressed in the curriculum at LSE Law School\, such as financial regulation and financial law\, commercial and corporate law\, data regulation and competition law. \nThis course is open to LLM and LLB students. It is designed to be co-curricular (i.e.\, not part of the LLM or LLB curricula) and complement other relevant courses. \nThey will earn a certificate for attending all five sessions\, but the course will not count as credit\, to put towards any degree\, nor will it be examinable. \nSession 3: Digital finance is transforming the way in which financial products are distributed and financial services delivered. In some cases\, technology is also facilitating the introduction of new products and services (notably\, in the area of crypto-assets). In this session we will highlight key issues regulatory practitioner would be expected to advise upon\, including considerations relating to licencing\, AML/CFT\, consumer protection\, client asset protection\, and operational resilience. \n\n\n	Related
