Denis Edwards of Terra Firma Chambers will be one of the keynote speakers at a conference to mark the thirtieth anniversary of the introduction of the specialised judicial review procedure in Scotland.  Thirty Years of Judicial Review in Scotland is being hosted jointly by Glasgow and Strathclyde University Law Schools on Monday 26th January at the University of Strathclyde, Court/Senate Suite, Collins Building, 22 Richmond St, Glasgow.

Denis’ talk will focus on EU Law with the full-day programme also featuring contributions by leading public law academics and practitioners, and a keynote address by the Right Hon Lord Reed, justice of the Supreme Court.  The conference offers an opportunity for practitioners, academics and law students to reflect on developments since 1985, how judicial review is working today, and how it might develop in future.  It is particularly timely given the important reforms to the judicial review procedure about to be introduced by the Courts Reform (Scotland) Bill 2014.

Attendance at this event will qualify for 5 hours CPD.  There is a modest registration fee of £25 with a small number of free places for undergraduate and postgraduate students.  For further details including how to book your place at this event, please follow the link to the Strathclyde University Online Shop.
