Forum de Lisboa

From June 1 to 3, 2026, Prof. Dr. Englisch attended the XIV Forum de Lisboa. This conference is organized by two Brazilian universities (IDP and FGV) and the University of Lisbon, and is primarily aimed at a Brazilian audience. The approximately 500 participants focused primarily on constitutional law issues spanning a very wide range of topics. Prof. Dr. Englisch gave a presentation on the Federal Constitutional Court’s limitations on the effects of its rulings and also participated in numerous other sessions. A panel discussion on the use of AI in the Brazilian judicial system proved particularly relevant to an ongoing research project, as Brazil is already well advanced in this area compared to Germany, where such developments are still in their infancy. Prof. Dr. Englisch also used the event to maintain and expand his professional network with Brazilian colleagues.
