Join us for the fifth and final talk of Faculty of Law's popular continuing legal education series for the year.

• Dr. Tetyana Krupiy (SSHRC postdoctoral Fellow, McGill Faculty of Law) - "Holding accountable programmers and corporate managers: the paradoxes presented by lethal autonomous robots for international law"
