The day-long, free conference is in memory of the association’s founder and former chair, Dr Jenny Vaughan OBE. It will feature panels, discussions, and presentations on the causes she was passionate about.
Mr Khan KC, who has extensive experience and expertise in institutional injustice, will speak on the experience of injustice.
Mr Khan KC, founding partner at our firm, has worked on some of the country’s most high-profile cases, including representing the family of Stephen Lawrence during the private prosecution, inquest and public inquiry into Stephen’s murder, as well as the core participants in the Grenfell Tower Inquiry.
Ahead of the conference, Mr Khan KC has said: “As I have learnt through the cases that I have been involved in – the murder of Stephen Lawrence which led to a public inquiry and changes in policing and race relations; the murder of Zahid Mubarek, which led to a public inquiry and changes to the prison system; the murder of Victoria Climbie which led to a public inquiry and changes in the treatment of children – when institutions do not treat people fairly, it reveals, and is indicative of, systemic problems which are not limited to the individual case.”
Mr Khan KC is chair of the British Institute of Human Rights and patron of the University of East London Law Clinic. He is also visiting professor of law at London South Bank University.
