The series concludes with the most topical of all themes:
Should the UK adopt a Pluralistic Legal System?
In Discussion:
The Hon. Marion Boyd (former Attorney General of Ontario, Canada)
Professor Shaheen Sardar-Ali (Warwick University)
Tickets: £10 unreserved (free for students and for University lecturers)
CPD Points applied for (BSB and Law Society): 1.5 hours
We will air, robustly but courteously, the hopes and concerns of those who value Sharia Law and of those who fear in it a challenge to the social cohesion of the country and to the equality of men and women; and we ask what inequities can arise in a pluralistic system – by giving the more powerful parties in a dispute an opportunity to choose the system more advantageous to themselves – and how, if at all, such inequities could be overcome.
The formal dialogue will be followed by Questions and Answers.

As well as the four important musical anniversaries being celebrated this year, 2009 is also the 250th anniversary of the birth of the great Scottish poet, Robert Burns. In this recital, Dame Felicity Lott will include settings of Burns’s poetry by Schumann (and also his 1840 song cycle, Frauenliebe und
Leben), as well as honouring Shakespeare’s connection with Middle Temple Hall (Twelfth Night was premiered there in 1602) in settings by Britten, Quilter, Haydn, Horder, Poulenc and Bush.
Dame Felicity Lott is one of Britain’s best loved sopranos and was created a Dame Commander of the British Empire in 1996 in recognition of her services to music.
