Law on Trial 2011

Monday 27th June 2011 to Saturday 2nd July 2011

SOCIAL JUSTICE AND EXCLUSION

Difficult times call for new thinking. This year's Law on Trial addresses law and legal institutions from the perspective of social justice. Sessions will consider economic democracy, labour rights and market regulation. We will also be addressing the politics of legal education, law and drugs policy, the future of legal aid and inclusion and exclusion in the legal profession.

Law on Trial provides a platform on which academics, trade unionists, practitioners and activists can present alternative and progressive thinking about law and its relationship to society and economy.

The events are free and open to everyone. So, whether you are a Birkbeck student, practising solicitor or barrister, activist or are simply concerned about social justice, we invite you to come along and join us.
