THE 2019 GRAY'S INN READING
Lord Kerr intends to address the recent decision in Stocker v Stocker and the challenges which confront judges when required to take on the role of a jury in applying a common-sense approach to the meaning of words. He will try to consider and reflect on the essential role of the Courts in upholding individual rights and how best this role can be performed whilst also ensuring that decisions accord with society’s broader expectations of justice.

June 13, 2019 The Unacclaimed Accompanist
There is far more to piano accompaniment than meets the ear or eye. Vocal celebrities are reliant on an accompanist’s skills in indisputably great music composed for an equal partnership of voice and piano, and yet the hard-working pianist’s public profile seldom matches that of the singer. Skills developed over many years are often accorded faint praise and small fees.
Graham Johnson examines a problematic profession that continues to attract many gifted young pianists to its ranks and asks why.
A lecture by Graham Johnson OBE, British classical pianist and Lieder accompanist 7 May 2019

June 12, 2019 Well-being at the Bar? Is a Legal Aid Lawyer's Work all Stress and Distress?
Over the course of her Professorship, Professor Delahunty has striven to talk openly about the way in which the Family Court deals with emotive and challenging issues such as sexual abuse, child death in infancy, child neglect and child exploitation.
At what personal cost is that work undertaken? How can one delete the retinal images of abuse after the case has ended?
