🎤 Panel Discussion: Preserving the Jury Trial: Innovation, Reform, and the Rule of Law
📍 Greenwich University, Maritime Campus, QA180
🗓 28 January
⏰ 5:30 pm
We’ll be discussing:
* What’s really at stake when jury trials are limited or removed
* The impact on fairness, public confidence, and the rule of law
* How the legal profession can respond constructively to reform
This is especially timely given positions taken by senior policymakers, including Keir Starmer and David Lammy, which deserve principled and informed challenge from the profession.
✅ Open to all
