June marks the 800th anniversary of the
Magna Carta, the “Great Charter of Liberties” that King John of England
agreed to and that aimed to limit the Crown’s power. The Magna Carta
exerted a significant influence on the development of the common law in
England and subsequently in the United States. Richard Helmholz will
explain the emergence of the Magna Carta, describe its substance, and
discuss its impact on the rule of law in England. Roger Pilon will speak
about the charter’s importance to the United States. And Tom Palmer
will discuss similar charters in other parts of medieval Europe. Other
speakers will address the unsteady spread of the rule of law around the
world: Richard Pipes will describe the case of Russia, Swami Aiyar will
discuss India’s experience, and Juan Carlos Botero will give a global
overview of progress and challenges based on the Rule of Law Index.
