This week, Professor Manuel A. Gómez spoke at two events at Stanford Law School.
On September 24, at the pre-conference workshop of the Academic Working Group on the Venezuelan Judicial Transition, he presented his paper "Declared but Never Checked: Making Judges' Asset Declarations Work in a Venezuelan Transition." His session was Judicial Purging, Competitions and Institutional Reconstruction. The paper proposes that a transitional government turn the existing asset-declaration requirement for Venezuelan judges into a working accountability mechanism, testing it first on a small group of judges.
He is also taking part in the Rule of Law and Democracy conference (September 25–26, 2026). The conference is hosted by the Neukom Center for the Rule of Law at Stanford Law School and the Bingham Centre for the Rule of Law at the British Institute of International and Comparative Law. On September 25 he spoke on the panel "Restoring the Rule of Law" with Professors Diego Zambrano and Raul Sanchez-Urribarri.
