Declaration | Article 10: Right to a Public Hearing

How would you get on defending yourself in court, cobbling together a case? Article 10 of the Universal Declaration provides that “everyone is entitled in full equality to a fair and public hearing by an independent and impartial tribunal, in the determination of his rights and obligations and of any criminal charge against him.” Led by law lecturer and blogger, Andrew Tickell, this session takes a critical look at access to justice in the UK in a time of unprecedented strain. More and more people are falling back on their own resources, being priced out of justice, and trying (and frequently failing) to vindicate their rights.
