Law & Disorder Live: Is Trial by Jury Dead?

Featuring the hosts of the Law & Disorder podcast:
Sir Nicholas Mostyn · Lord Charlie Falconer · Baroness Helena Kennedy

Three of Britain’s sharpest legal minds bring their hit podcast to Ripon Cathedral for a no-holds-barred debate on one of criminal justice’s biggest questions.

Trial by jury has anchored our legal system since Magna Carta. But with court backlogs in crisis and costs spiralling, is this 800-year-old tradition now an unaffordable luxury? Or does ditching juries spell the end of fair justice?

Expect fireworks as Sir Nicholas Mostyn (retired High Court judge), Lord Charlie Falconer (former Lord Chancellor), and Baroness Helena Kennedy (leading human rights lawyer) go head-to-head on this explosive issue.

Audience Q&A follows, chaired by acclaimed broadcaster and family law mediator Joanna Gosling.

The evening is kindly sponsored by:
