Immigration: Law Centres Protecting Fundamental Rights Conference
Protecting Fundamental Rights is the keynote theme of this year's Law Centres Annual Conference in London on 23rd / 24th November. The Conference will focus on immigration, especially individual rights. Law Centres are concerned that while wider debates on this issue continue, fundamental rights of immigrants are in danger of being eroded and must be protected.
Legal Aid is a cornerstone of Fundamental Rights, and these linked issues will be explored by a panel of distinguished speakers led by Lord Bach, Ministry of Justice Whip, joined by James Welch, Legal Director of Liberty, Andrew Holroyd OBE, President of the Law Society, and Paul Newell, Head of Civil Policy Development at the Legal Services Commission.
On Saturday, Joanna Owen of the Legal Office, Enforcement Team at the Equality and Human Rights Commission will lead discussion on ‘Equality issues and how we can work together in future’.
