Our Events
At our events we aim to address contemporary issues in law and medicine. In particular, we debate aspects relating to evolving aspects of professional responsibilities and the roles and duties of professionals, particularly when facing current practice and ethical issues.
We seek contributions from academics, judges, practising lawyers, doctors and academics, as well as people involved in associated fields. We look forward to active debate and participation. In addition, we support a wide and varied cultural program in conjunction with our events.
