“It has resonance for each and every one of us, from whichever country we come. Never take the rule of law for granted. Never, ever.”
Lord Judge
Throughout our 65-year history, JUSTICE has been at the forefront of ensuring that human rights and the rule of law is central to law reform and our justice system. The past twelve months has seen widespread challenges to the rule of law in the UK, from breaches of international law, verbal attacks on lawyers by senior Government officials, to the proposed Bill of Rights Bill. A robust defence of the rule of law, and the work of JUSTICE, has never been more needed.
Join JUSTICE in 2023 for a series of fundraising events discussing the current threats to human rights and the rule of law in the UK. We’ll be joined by senior retired judges, leading practitioners, parliamentarians, and academics for three evenings of debate and discussion.
All funds raised will go directly to support our work, ensuring that we continue to defend the rule of law and human rights for generations to come.
Tickets are £50 per event, including a drinks reception. Or buy all three for £125.
Each event begins at 6pm (registration from 5:30pm) and is followed by a drinks reception.
