Join us this November for JUSTICE’s Annual conference – bringing together the UK’s leading legal voices to discuss the most pressing developments, challenges and opportunities shaping the rule of law.

As we approach 25 years since the commencement of the Human Rights Act in the UK, there has never been a more crucial time for the UK’s leading legal voices to come together to network, learn and collaborate. Join us – either virtually or in person – for a day of interactive sessions exploring the future of judicial review, violence against girls and women, immigration, AI and much more.

Both virtual and in-person attendance is available.

Our speakers provide their time free of charge to speak at our Conference to allow us to raise funds for JUSTICE. This year, we will not be requiring speakers to provide Papers or PowerPoints. If speakers do provide these, they will be shared with attendees.
