The first ever Justice Week, an initiative by the professional bodies for barristers, solicitors and Chartered Legal Executives, is due to take place 29 October–2 November. It aims to promote interest and debate around justice and the rule of law, and will feature public events, digital media, research and talks. The launch event will explore what the public thinks about the justice system and how the media reports on these issues. Anyone who wants to stage an event or get involved is asked to contact their professional body. Further information can be found here.
