Kicking off the @_SWALA lecture with @ColinYeo1 'is the #asylum system broken'?' with a full room in person, plus many more online. First slide 'Yes, it is. It is asylum purgatory'
Barrister @ColinYeo1 has written a forensic analysis of the UK’s “impenetrable jungle” of an immigration system - and I’m looking forward to chairing his talk about his book at @Ways_With_Words on Saturday @BitebackPub @gardencourtlaw @freemovementlaw

Such a fascinating lecture from Mrs Justice Steyn and @_SWALA - a breath of fresh air to attend an in-person event after all this time! – at Bristol, England

Still a few in person places left at this @_SWALA lecture by Steyn J in Bristol on 16 March 2022. Anyone who can’t be there can watch online. Judges, practitioners, acamdenics, students. It would be lovely to see you. Sign up!
Our annual lecture on 16 March is being delivered by Steyn J. We hope to see people in person (we are a sociable bunch), but if you can’t make it then we are hoping to hold it as a hybrid event. Details pending, but you can sign up to attend in person now: southwestadminlaw.org/2021/1…

This event with Steyn J on 16 March will likely be online as well. I want the wine and social contact as well as the lecture, so I am going in person, but if you can’t be there do keep and eye out for joining details. Should be interesting.

Having just tweeted about a great @_SWALA event for students in South West England, there is also a great @PublicLawWales event for students coming up on 22 Feb 2022. This one is online. 👇
A career in public law is great, but we would say that. So don’t take our word for it law students… Hear from the excellent @BethanLloyd1, @Masudah_Ali, and @DghSpanishWelsh at our next event “Your Future in Public Law” on 22 Feb 2022. Sign up here: eventbrite.co.uk/e/your-futu…
