Jointly hosted by LSE Law School, JUSTICE and the Sustainability Legal Policy Clinic, the event will showcase original student research examining key contemporary developments in public protest law, including restrictions on face coverings, comparative approaches across jurisdictions, and the emergence of new rules on cumulative disruption.

These presentations will be followed by a panel discussion featuring Professor Robert Wintemute (KCL), Paul Parker (Recording Clerk for Quakers in Britain), and leading solicitors Laura O’Brien and Raj Chada (both of Hodge Jones & Allen), offering critical perspectives on the implications of these legal changes for civil liberties and environmental activism.

Chair: Nathan Whetton, a PhD researcher at LSE specialising in protest law

The event provides a timely opportunity for informed and open dialogue on the future of protest in a democratic society.

This event will be followed by a drinks reception.

Tickets are limited. If you are interested in attending, please email events@justice.org.uk
