One of the highlights of the human rights lawyer’s CPD calendar, the JUSTICE Annual Human Rights Conference offers a key opportunity to update your legal knowledge and gain valuable insight into the human rights developments over the year. This year’s conference will include breakout sessions on judicial review, crime and policing, inquests and inquiries, family law, social welfare, and immigration and asylum. Our full programme will be released soon.

This year’s speakers include: Judge Tim Eicke KC, Lord Pannick KC, HH Wendy Joseph KC, the Right Reverend James Jones KBE, Allison Munroe KC, Simon Creighton, Teertha Gupta KC, and Sarah Hannett KC, with more to be announced.

We are very grateful to Allen & Overy LLP for hosting us in what will be a lively and informative series of speeches and breakout sessions this Autumn. All income from the event will directly support the work of JUSTICE.
