This afternoon I joined Justice for their Annual Human Rights Conference.

An audience of 160 people registered for the event and I was delighted to join the panel for the plenary debate entitled 'What next for human rights?'

Chairing the panel discussion was Andrea Coomber, Director of Justice and other panellists were, Lord Lester QC, Joanna Cherry QC MP, Anthony Speaight QC, Carl Gardner, Head of Legal Blog and Alison Gerry, Human Rights Lawyers Association (Chair)

*Justice is an all-party law reform and human rights organisation working to strengthen the justice system - administrative, civil and criminal - in the United Kingdom.
