Keynote Speech: Whose side is the law on?
Speaker: Jolyon Maugham KC, founder and director of the Good Law Project
Jo Maugham is the founder and executive director of Good Law Project, a non-profit which uses the law to hold power to account and protect the public interest. Jo’s keynote speech titled “Whose side is the law on?” will interrogate whether the stories the law tells about itself are true. Does it level up power or embed it? What does it mean to say you must not undermine public confidence in the law? Does the law advance the agenda of progressives - or does it hold them back?
