Lawyers are preparing for the inaugural Justice Week, 29 October to 2 November. It’s the joint initiative of the Bar Council, CILEx and The Law Society, and aims to place justice and the rule of law at the heart of public debate. Free Bar Council programmes include the launch event on how justice can be ‘rebranded’, at CMS’ London offices on 29 October at 6pm. Debates on justice cuts, and on immigration and the rule of law, are just some events. For a full programme, see the ‘Campaigns’ section on the Bar Council website. Tweeters are welcome to show support using the #JusticeWeek18 hashtag.
