GoingToMeet

This event is being held to celebrate the decision made at the Commonwealth Law Conference held in Hong Kong in 1983 to form the Commonwealth Lawyers' Association (CLA) and the subsequent adoption of the first Constitution of the CLA in Jamaica in 1986.

The 25th Anniversary Conference will give us all an opportunity to participate in the promotion of the rule of law by hearing about and examining the challenges to the rule of law that face us throughout the Commonwealth in places such as Pakistan, Fiji and Zimbabwe. It will also give us the opportunity to hear first hand from lawyers in the front line who are dealing with these challenges to the rule of law on a daily basis often at great personal and physical risk to themselves and their families. There will be a stimulating business programme with a total of 14 sessions and 2 keynote speeches in addition to a full social programme and a number of satellite meetings that are scheduled to take place pre and post conference.
