  • Dr Matt Thomason (University of Nottingham) will discuss reform of the rules on the admissibility of ’sexual history evidence’
  • Dr Samantha Fairclough (University of Birmingham) will discuss proposals regarding vulnerable witnesses and special measure directions
  • Mr Paul Jarvis (6KBW) will discuss proposals regarding juries and independent legal representation for complainants.
