We're delighted to invite you to attend LAG's AGM on 23 July at Garden Court Chambers which will be followed by a discussion with Nisha Waller from APPEAL.
The AGM will begin at 6.15pm and will last approximately 45 minutes.
At 7pm, we will be joined by Nisha Waller, racial justice lead at APPEAL speaking on: Doubt Dismissed: Race, Juries and Wrongful Conviction.
In May 2024, APPEAL published a report on the hidden racist and classist intent behind the 1967 introduction of majority jury verdicts in England and Wales, finding links between majority verdicts and wrongful convictions. APPEAL has identified dozens of high-profile wrongful convictions based on majority jury verdicts, which are set out in the report. This includes APPEAL’s client,
Andrew Malkinson, who was recently exonerated after spending 17 years in prison.
The event will be followed by networking drinks and nibbles.
