On the 11th and 12th of June 2009, the University of Edinburgh hosted a conference and public lecture in honour of Sir Gerald Gordon CBE QC LLD. Following the success of this event, a decision was taken to establish the Gerald Gordon Seminar on Criminal Law as an annual generalist criminal law conference.

The second seminar, supported by the Clark Foundation for Legal Education, will take place in Old College, University of Edinburgh on Thursday 10th June 2010.

Speakers will include:

• Dr Liz Campbell (Aberdeen)
• James Chalmers (Edinburgh)
  
• Professor Pamela Ferguson (Dundee)
• Dr Fiona Leverick (Glasgow)
  
• Professor Vanessa Munro (Nottingham)
• Findlay Stark (Edinburgh)
• Professor William Wilson (Queen Mary)
  

Further information, including registration arrangements, will be posted on this website in February 2010. In the meantime, any enquiries should be directed to james.chalmers@ed.ac.uk.
