Judges’ Troubles: The Northern/Irish Feminist Judgment Project

In association with Transitional Justice Institute (TJI) and the Law Society of Northern Ireland

The Northern/Irish Feminist Judgment Project came together to write the "missing feminist judgments" in key cases that have shaped Northern Irish and Irish law. In this lunchtime event, the organisers and participants of the project explain their motivations and approach to judgment-writing. The event focuses on the Northern Ireland High Court judgments on abortion, by comparing and contrasting the feminist judgments with the High Court's approach. The event includes a contribution from Justice Siobhan Keegan, who will comment on the implications of the project for the Northern Ireland jurisdiction.

Lunch will be provided. Attendance at the event is approved by The Bar of Northern Ireland with a CPD accreditation (1.5 CPD points). Solicitors attending this event are eligible to claim 1 general group study CPD hour.

For the duration of the festival an exhibition of photographs by Emma Campbell documenting journeys to abortion clinics in Liverpool and London 'When they put their hands out like scales — Journeys' is at Framewerk, 10 Upper Newtownards Road, Belfast, Tues March 8—Sat March 12.
