Full event details

Discover the hidden world of law, media, and justice.

From secret courts to super injunctions, today’s journalists and bloggers navigate a maze of legal restrictions that can prevent the public from ever knowing the full story behind major crimes and civil disputes. But if justice happens behind closed doors, can it truly be called justice?

In this exciting Real World Lecture, you’ll dive into the powerful concept of open justice, uncover why some cases are shrouded in secrecy, and debate whether these restrictions can survive in the age of social media and instant information.

Perfect for students aspiring to study law, criminology, media, or related degrees - this session offers a real-world look at the tensions between transparency, privacy, and the modern digital landscape. Get ready to challenge your assumptions and explore the future of justice in an online world.
