A series of six free public lectures on family law by Professor Jo Delahunty will be hosted by Gresham College in October, entitled When World’s Collide: The Family and the Law.

They cover the theme of access to justice by the most vulnerable in society, and take place at Gresham College, Barnard’s Inn Hall (EC1N 2HH). They are aimed at interested lawyers, students and the general public.

Sex, Death and Witchcraft’—What Goes On In The Family Court Room?, at 6pm on 18 October, looks at what happens when the state intervenes in family life. Other topics include emerging law and practice where children are at risk of radicalisation or parents may remove them to Syria (24 November, 6pm).
