About this event
Her Honour Wendy Joseph KC was a judge at the Old Bailey until 2022, sitting on criminal cases – only the third woman to hold a permanent post there. She explores justice past and present and asks if the law in Britain is fit for purpose. Her compelling best-seller, Rough Justice: Do we have the law we deserve?, draws vivid parallels between historical trials at the Old Bailey and the cases shaping our legal landscape today, revealing how little – and how much – has changed. She talks to human rights lawyer and author of The Ten Types of Human Dexter Dias KC.
