Why Juries Matter

Join the Haldane Society for an evening of discussion about Why Juries Matter.

Join the Haldane Society on 26 May for an evening of discussion about Why Juries Matter, in response to the Government's proposal to remove the right to trial by jury in certain cases.

We will address the political aspects of the proposals, debunk the myths on which they are based and discuss why the right to a trial by jury is so important in 2026.

Speakers

Matt Foot, Solicitor and co-Director of Appeal

Trudi Warner, activist and campaigner with Defend our Juries.

Further speakers to be announced.

Chaired by Grace Cowell, criminal defence barrister at One Pump Court Chambers.

This is a Pelican House Social Club event. By registering to attend, you will be automatically signed up as a member of Pelican House Social Club (for free) - this means you can enjoy drinks at our bar.
