Event Details

Time: 17.30-19.30

Venue: British Institute of International and Comparative Law, Charles Clore House, 17 Russell Square, London WC1B 5JP


To what extent is criminal legal aid available and effective in different jurisdictions across Europe and beyond? What forms of redress for victims of violence do exist in different jurisdictions and are there effective and sustainable solutions that can be imported in other jurisdictions?

The Bingham Centre for the Rule of Law will host an evening expert event in which professionals and specialists in criminal justice issues and the law and practice relating to redress for victims of violence across jurisdictions will share their experience on the main challenges on such issues and will discuss and comment examples of good practice.

The event will be followed by a drinks reception.
