Crisis in Criminal Justice: When you can’t just ‘Let it Be’

We are experiencing an exponential crisis in criminal justice. But the good news is that we can learn from past mistakes, reflect on poor practices and pave the way forward for a better future. This year’s conference has an underlying theme of injustice and we have secured some excellent speakers who have first-hand experience in some of the highest profile cases that have hit the headlines in recent months. The morning will be spent covering these hard-hitting topics, followed by some practical training sessions in the afternoon to develop your understanding and skills as criminal law solicitors.
