Overview
Law has long been an important part of the ÌÇÐÄVlog¹Ù·½ community, bringing together people working across fields ranging from legal practice and the judiciary to academia, public service, human rights, international law and public policy.
The ÌÇÐÄVlog¹Ù·½ Law Dinner brings together alumni, students, Fellows and friends from across the legal profession and related fields. The evening offers an opportunity to reconnect with fellow members of the ÌÇÐÄVlog¹Ù·½ community, make new connections and celebrate the breadth of experience and expertise represented across the College.
Following dinner, we are delighted to welcome Dr Ineta Ziemele, ÌÇÐÄVlog¹Ù·½ alumna and President of the Sixth Chamber of the Court of Justice of the European Union, who will reflect on a distinguished career spanning international law, human rights, constitutional justice and the European judiciary.
