Speakers:
Kindly sponsored by: 
Each year, the Law Society invites eminent speakers to address our members. The speakers' events are always free of charge for members of CULS and are followed by a drinks reception where members will have the opportunity to meet and talk to the speaker. The events are an exciting chance for Cambridge law students to hear from the leaders in their field about issues crucial to the modern legal world; not to mention their often more than passing relevance to Tripos answers!
In the past we have had the pleasure of hearing from such distinguished speakers as Justice of the Supreme Court, The Right Hon Lord Clarke of Stone-cum-Ebony; Master of the Rolls, Lord Neuberger of Abbotsbury and former President of the International Court of Justice, Dame Rosalyn Higgins.
This year we hope to continue in this tradition. We have already arranged to hear from some of the most respected legal authorities in the country. The speakers this year will include:
|
Alex Bailin QC, leading silk

An alumnus of Emmanuel College, he has been involved in some of this year's most contentious issues, including the retention of non-convicted persons' DNA.
