Memoirs of a Radical Lawyer Book Launch
Michael Mansfield QC, Author
A radical lawyer with an unparalleled commitment to his clients, driven by anger at injustice and hypocrisy, intelligent, handsome and dynamic, Michael Mansfield has been tearing down the citadels of arcane legal conventions for more than forty years.
In Memoirs of a Radical Lawyer, Michael dissects many of them, revealing his motivations, meticulous approach to forensic science, cross examination techniques, the political dimensions and emotional reactions with clarity, subtlety and charm. Interspersed with personal anecdotes and recollections, this insightful book is liberally laced with Michael’s quirky brand of anarchic humour.

City University London celebrates the launch of its new interdisciplinary Centre for Law, Justice and Journalism by inviting The Hon. Mr Justice Eady to deliver its inaugural lecture.
Mr Justice Eady is a High Court judge in England and Wales, known for having judged many high-profile libel cases. He is described by the Telegraph as "once a leading courtroom defender of red-top journalism", but criticised by Stephen Glover in the Independent for interpreting "the European Convention on Human Rights in a restrictive way".
The Guardian quoted him from a recent lecture: "The media have nowhere to vent their frustrations other than through personal abuse of the particular judge who happens to have made the decision".
Join us for a fascinating lecture on a topical theme that spans all areas of the new Centre.
