Treasurer's Lecture

Join us as HH Clement Goldstone KC and The Rt Hon Sir Brian Leveson, and The Rt Hon Sir Peregrine Simon PC and Lord Phillips of Worth Matravers discuss their lives and careers at the Bar.

We very much hope that you will be able to join us on 22 July as two of the biggest legal figures from the last 50 years discuss their careers and experiences. Master Nicholas Phillips, formerly President of the Supreme Court and Lord Chief Justice and Master Brian Leveson, formerly President to King’s Bench of the Queen’s Bench Division as it then was, have both agreed to be interviewed respectively by Master Peregrine Simon and Master Clement Goldstone. The depth and quality of their experiences are enormous and this promises to be a fascinating evening.
