In Conversation with...Lord Bingham

04 June 2008, BPP Waterloo

We are delighted to invite you to be our guest at the second in a series of exciting evening events we are holding this year, in conjunction with our award winning Pro Bono Centre.

Our presenter and Soicitor Advocate, Jason M Hadden, will be In Conversation with Lord Bingham at the BPP Law School, Waterloo. The event which will allow the audience to ask questions to Lord Bingham will be followed by a free drinks reception.

Lord Bingham, the only person who has occupied three of the highest judicial offices in England and Wales, is considered the country's most distinguished judge. He was the Senior Civil Law Judge, called the Master of the Rolls, and then Lord Chief Justice, the Senior Criminal Law Judge, before being appointed to the highest judicial office of Senior Law Lord in 2000.

Lord Bingham has been a popular and sometimes controversial Law Lord and as such the topics will range from his views on the Human Rights Act, Terrorism, Torture, Government intervention and Rendition. One Guardian columnist called him "the radical who is leading a new English revolution." In the past he has been involved in issues such as the case of Derek Bentley who was wrongly executed.

With Lord Bingham's retirement due in September 2008, why not join Jason for this unmissable event?

The discussion session will last for approximately 1 - 1 1/2 hours and will be followed by drinks and light refreshments.
