These are free, or subsidised, for HRLA members. Events may be part of a themed series of seminars, or one-off sessions on particular issues. HRLA events provide an opportunity to explore topical developments that affect the development of human rights law in the UK. This may be a judgment of the House of Lords or the European Court of Human Rights, or developing Government policy. All HRLA events provide a forum for constructive discussion and debate. Interaction is encouraged. Where appropriate, we also promote human rights events of other organisations.
