We’re delighted to announce that this year’s annual JUSTICE Human Rights Conference will be held on Friday 6 October at Linklaters LLP, One Silk Street, London, EC2Y 8HQ. The whole conference will be hybrid, with virtual tickets allowing access to all sessions.
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, Public Order and Protests, Inquests and Inquiries, Crime, Social Welfare, and Immigration and Asylum. Our full programme will be released soon.
We are very grateful to Linklaters LLP for hosting us in what will be a lively and informative series of speeches and breakout sessions this Autumn.
The conference will be worth six CPD hours.
All income from the event will directly support the work of JUSTICE.
