The Cambridge University Human Rights Law Society will be hosting Sir Jeffrey Jowell QC virtually this Friday at 15:00-16:00.

SIR JEFFREY JOWELL QC is the author of leading publications in the area of public law and has assisted in the drafting of a number of national constitutions. He is a practising barrister at Blackstone Chambers and Emeritus Professor of Public Law at University College London. From 2010-15 he was the Founder-Director of the Bingham Centre for the Rule of Law and from 2000-2011 the UK’s member on the Council of Europe’s Commission for Democracy through Law (known as ‘The Venice Commission’).
