Assize Seminar on Cutting Edge Criminal Law

This event is organised by Mark Dsouza (UCL), Matt Dyson (Oxford, Chair), Paul Jarvis (CBA) and Findlay Stark (Cambridge).
About this event
The Assize Seminars provide a space for cutting edge academic work to play a practical role in understanding and developing the law. They are a chance to challenge, debate and refine criminal justice, providing a bridge from academia to criminal legal practice. Just like the Assize of old, the seminars are peripatetic, rotating between three leading academic institutions: Oxford, Cambridge and University College London, and occasionally, making a special stop elsewhere in England & Wales. Each assize seminar runs with the support of the Criminal Bar Association.
