  About the conference
 

Once again, a leading team from Garden Court Chambers will give an up-to-date overview of all aspects of judicial review together with practical advice on how to apply the law successfully.

The regionalisation of the Administrative Court has created regional centres in Birmingham, Cardiff, Leeds and Manchester. With it has come the opportunity for practitioners throughout England and Wales to use judicial review locally, and the need to know how to do so.

This conference is particularly geared to practices in social welfare law, including:

  • Immigration
  • Housing
  • Community care
  • Prison law

Whether you already bring judicial reviews, or whether you practise in an area of law where judicial review can be used, this conference is essential CPD-accredited training.
