Leslie Scarman lecture

Justice Edwin Cameron of the Constitutional Court of South Africa, a leading human rights lawyer during the apartheid era, is giving the Leslie Scarman lecture in London on 25 January.

He will explore South Africa’s experience of human rights in the 18 years since the end of apartheid, and ask: ‘What can law and legal rights do in securing for people the benefits a decent society should promise?’ This will be the fourth Leslie Scarman lecture, which are hosted every two years by the Law Commission. It begins at 5.30pm in Middle Temple Hall.
