  • Unexplained Wealth – Whose Business? the 36Thcambridge International Symposium on Economic Crime Unexplained Wealth - Whose Business?
    THIRTY-SIXTH INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON ECONOMIC CRIME SUNDAY 2nd SEPTEMBER - SUNDAY 9th SEPTEMBER 2018 JESUS COLLEGE, UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE Unexplained wealth – whose business? The 36thCambridge International Symposium on Economic Crime Unexplained Wealth - whose business? The Thirty-Sixth International Symposium on Economic Crime is the most extensive and ambitious programme that we have so far attempted to put together. The overarching theme is how we can better identify and render accountable unexplained and suspicious wealth. As we increasingly realise that the way in which most of us approach suspect wealth and money laundering lacks efficiency and imposes arguably disproportionate burdens and risks on the financial and business system, it appears a partial answer might be in focusing on the identification of unexplained wealth, but then what do we do? These important and timely issues are pursued in a practical, applied and relevant manner, by those with the benefit of experience from across the world. The symposium, although held in one of the world’s leading universities and recognising the significance of intelligent deliberation, is not a talking shop for those with vested interests – official or commercial. We strive to offer a rich and deep analysis of the real issues and, in particular, threats to our institutions and economies presented by economically motivated crime and misconduct. Therefore, well over 600 experts from around the world will share their experience and knowledge with other participants drawn from policy makers, law enforcement, compliance, regulation, business and the professions. The programme is drawn up with the support of a number of agencies and organisations, and the Organising Institutions and principal sponsors greatly value this global commitment.

  • The Insider's Guide to Becoming a Barrister
    5 MARCH 2020 The Insider’s Guide to Becoming a Barrister PROFESSOR JO DELAHUNTY QC In this lecture I am going to deal with three stages of our careers at the Bar: getting a foot in the door, carving out a career once at it and, lastly, what personality traits and professional skills mark out, for me, the high achievers. This lecture does not lend itself to an academic text: you will have access to my experience and my anecdotal advice rising from it. This handout is an aide memoire of what I propose to talk about on 5.3.2020. Think of these notes as an ‘at a glance’ guide of the main points. I emphasise that, aside from the nuts and bolts of the application process (which is drawn from on-line sources) what follows is my take on what it takes to succeed at the Bar. My evidential source material comes from my practice in the legal aid, common law, sector in which I practice. I know nothing about the private law world of shipping, trusts and intellectual property. I know next to nothing about the careers that revolve around a chambers-based paper practice. I am a court room advocate. A trial lawyer. That is my world. It may not be for everyone, but it is where I come alive. It is a job that, in my view, has no rivals in terms of job satisfaction. A Getting A Foot in The Door: Pupillage The Basics1 How do I become a barrister? The process of going to the Bar can be broken down into 4 key stages: The Academic Component of Bar Training This can be satisfied in one of two ways: getting a law degree (minimum 2:2 classification) OR getting a non-law degree (minimum 2:2 classification) PLUS completing a conversion course called the Graduate Diploma in Law (GDL).

  • Margaret Keane Gravestone: Court's Written Judgment Finds Direct
    PRESS RELEASE 17 JUNE 2021 Margaret Keane Gravestone: Court’s Written Judgment Finds Direct Discrimination On Basis Of Irish Race The Arches Court Of Canterbury Has Now Handed Down Its Judgment Dated 16 June 2021 Following The Successful Appeal Hearing A Coventry family who won a landmark appeal to have “Inár gcroí go Deo” (“In Our Heart Forever”) in Irish-only on their mother’s gravestone, has welcomed the findings of the Judgment. The family of Margaret Keane was told by the Arches Court of Canterbury at the end of the appeal hearing at St Mary-le-Bow in London earlier this year that they had succeeded and the original decision would be overturned, but that the full details of the court’s reasoning and findings would be handed down later in its written Judgment. In the written Judgment dated 16 June 2021, the Arches Court of Canterbury confirmed that the decision of the Chancellor not to permit the family’s inscription in Irish-only (without an English translation) was unreasonable under the common law, and in breach of the family’s right not to be discriminated against under the Human Rights Act and Article 14 of the European Convention on Human Rights. The Judgment also directs all Diocesan Chancellors to review their Churchyard Regulations to ensure that they are not discriminatory, particularly in relation to non-English inscriptions. The Judgment states: “..we find that the effect of the Chancellor’s decision was to discriminate directly against the Appellant on the basis of her race” and that “…an assumption seems to have been made that viewers of the inscription, realising that it was in Irish, would conclude that it was a political slogan, which we have found not to be based upon evidence or any other rational footing.

    PRESS RELEASE - 19 May 2021 LAPG announces Legal Aid Lawyer of the Year awards 2021 finalists A housing barrister who is playing a leading role in challenging 'No DSS' landlords; and a solicitor who defended the parents of 'Jihadi Jack' Letts, have been honoured by this year's LALY awards judges. The pair are among 26 individuals and nine organisations chosen as finalists in the Legal Aid Practitioners Group 2021 Legal Aid Lawyer of the Year awards. 2021 sees the introduction of a new Disability Rights award: finalists selected for this inaugural award are: Amy Butler, Atkins & Palmer; Kate Jackson, MJC Law; and Kirsty Stuart, Irwin Mitchell. Organisations shortlisted this year cover a wide geographical spread, including: Watkins & Gunn, in Cardiff; Law Centre Northern Ireland, in Belfast; Family Law Company, in Exeter; and Cartwright King, in the Midlands. Chris Minnoch, CEO of LAPG, which organises the LALY awards on a not-for-profit basis to celebrate the work of social justice lawyers, says: ‘This year's finalists give an insight into the range, depth and breadth of the incredible life- changing work that social justice lawyers do - and the vital role they play in ensuring access to justice for individuals, families and communities. It is testimony to the importance of the LALY awards to the legal aid sector that we had a bumper crop of compelling and inspiring nominations this year - despite the extreme pressures we are all facing due to the pandemic.’ Finalists in the Legal Aid Barrister category are: Tessa Buchanan (Garden Court Chambers), recognised for a run of cases establishing that banning DSS tenants is discriminatory against women and disabled people; Blinne Ní Ghrálaigh (Matrix Chambers), who helped overturn the convictions of the 'Stansted 15' protestors; and Stephen Lue (Garden Court Chambers), praised for his skilful handling of complex child abduction cases.
