Liberty Detention and Human Rights Conference on 7th December
LexisNexis Butterworths in association with the HRLA will be hosting the opening Liberty Detention and Human Rights conference on Monday 7th December in central London. The discussion will be tackling a range of high-profile topics including the legal implications of detentions and issues relating to constraints on liberty, including stop and search powers and protest controls, all of which feature regularly in the headlines.
Featuring an illustrious panel of speakers, the event is a must-attend for solicitors and barristers practising in civil liberties law and prison law; in-house legal advisors working for the police, NHS trusts and local authorities; and anyone else who needs to get to grips with the latest developments in civil liberties law.
