Every generation develops its own understanding of how legal practice can both further and frustrate a project of radical, anti-capitalist politics. This conference brings together practising radical lawyers, Marxist academics, workers and activists affected by the violence of imperial capitalism. It is aimed at developing theoretically informed, concrete insights that can be applied in legal practice at a national and international level.
Panel discussions will focus on criminal defence, international law, immigration law, and employment law. There will also be an opening and closing plenary.
