This year, we will be exploring the challenges of incorporating criminal law into dramatic writing through the theme of crime in fiction. The event promises to be a unique opportunity to discuss the portrayal of law in fiction and debate whether the arts are getting it right. Join us for what will undoubtedly be a fun and informative evening with an excellent panel representing the arts.
Our exciting panel consists of:
- Joyce McMillan, chief theatre critic for The Scotsman newspaper (Chair)
- Lin Anderson, the renowned Tartan Noir crime writer and co-founder of the Bloody Scotland crime writing festival
- Frances Barber, actress, played Caroline Warwick QC in Silk
- Professor Sue Black, world class forensic scientist
- Donald Findlay QC, the inimitable and leading criminal QC
We’re pleased to confirm that this event will be followed by a drinks reception. JUSTICE is grateful to the Faculty of Advocates for hosting this event.
Please note that all advocates will receive 1.5 hours of CPD for practice development.
