Garden Court North Chambers are second to none when it comes to ethics and commitment and it was a real pleasure to present a series of conferences with them across the North of England on our UK tour with Mark George QC, Nina Grahame QC and the rest of the crime team giving full support.

Also Forensic Equity gave an excellent series of talks on criminal case forensics and our favourite charity, The Howard League, presented on Sentencing.
