Justice Week 2020

Educating people about their legal rights and obligations and improving public knowledge about the justice system will be the key themes of next year’s Justice Week 2020, which begins on 24 February.

The Bar Council, Law Society and CILEx will use the week to encourage public discussion, and are inviting legal professionals and third-sector organisations to contact them with proposals for discussions, talks or events. Justice Week is an annual event that launched in 2018 to raise public awareness about justice and the rule of law.
