In 2019, Chile entered a swirling constitutional process: a new elected convention is breaking new grounds in the so-called "traditional Constitutional Law". The phenomenon has captured the attention both locally and around the globe regarding this unique yet unfinished process which promises to have an uncertain ending. Pluri-national institutions? Are there any limits for a constitution? How much experimentation may a Fundamental Law handle? Constitutional design may have something to say. Professor Rodrigo Delaveau will share a first hand view of this exciting yet controversial process in person.

Judge Rodrigo Delaveau teaches Comparative Constitutional Design at the Law School. He received his JD and LLM Degree summa cum laude from the P. Universidad Católica de Chile, and his LLM and PhD from the University of Chicago Law School, having been awarded with the Russell Baker Scholarship Fund for Phd studies, as well as the Coase Sandor Institute Scholarship for Law & Economics Studies. He has been a Law Professor for more than twenty years- teaching in both Spanish and English, as well as lecturer in national and international seminars, and regular advisor in several bills in his home country of Chile. In 2019 he was elected Deputy Justice for the Constitutional Court of Chile for a three-year term. Besides being a Law Professor, he is a Legal Counsel in Public Law affairs at Morales & Besa in Santiago, Chile.
