Grieve joins Goldsmiths

Former Attorney General Dominic Grieve QC has been appointed a Visiting Professor in Law at Goldsmiths, University of London, which is launching an undergraduate LLB Law with Politics and Human Rights at Goldsmiths
Grieve said: ‘The different national approaches over the laws and regulations needed to tackle COVID-19 highlight the practical difficulties of balancing the needs of states for information and control with the privacy and civil liberties of individuals. As with previous debates around anti-terror legislation, quarantining, compulsory face coverings and the sharing of personal data through contact tracing apps raise questions to which there are no easy answers.’
