Linenhall Chambers was pleased to be able to sponsor the Legal Wales Conference which took place on Friday 7th October 2016 at Bangor University. Delegates from across Wales attended to hear and take part in a number of presentations on the theme of ‘Convergence or Divergence’ in Welsh and English law. The Michael Farmer Memorial Lecture was this year delivered by The Rt Hon Lord Justice Davis on ‘Crime and Punishment – some reflections on the Modern Criminal Trial and Sentencing Process’. The Conference was a sell out this year; not surprising bearing in mind the high quality of the speakers.
