Each event brings together leaders from across law, politics, business, academia, and civil society to examine justice through a different lens—from historical foundations to future funding models.
Held in one of the most significant legal venues in the world, each evening runs from 6:00pm to 8:30pm, and includes a keynote speech, a chaired panel discussion, structured audience contributions, and a private dinner for selected guests. Attendance is by invitation, with a limited number of spaces allocated to each sector to ensure a balanced and representative room.
What is the Justice for All Series?
The Justice for All Series is a year-long programme of high-level events held at the Central Criminal Court (Old Bailey) in London. Each event brings together leaders from law, politics, business, academia, and civil society to explore the future of justice in the UK through dialogue, research, and policy framing.
Who is organising the Series?
The Series is chaired by Alderman Robert Hughes-Penney, Sheriff-Elect of the City of London for 2025/26, and delivered by CS-GB CIC in partnership with the City of London Corporation. Research support is provided by RAND Europe, and the Series is made possible through the support of sponsors including Serco, Sodexo and Rathbones. Additional support provided by DWF and TechStart.

Will the events be recorded or livestreamed?

How are the topics chosen?
Topics are selected in consultation with our advisory group based on relevance to justice sector reform, alignment with UN Sustainable Development Goal 16, and input from stakeholders across sectors.
What happens after the Series ends?
The insights, recommendations and evidence gathered across the five events will be synthesised into a capstone report, to be published in Summer 2026. This report will be shared with policymakers, legal bodies, civic institutions, and Series participants.
