The
Event
Legal
Initiative
would like to invite you to an upcoming conference titled: 'Afternoon of
awareness' whereby JENGbA (Joint
Enterprise: Not Guilty by Association), and Doughty Street Chambers Barrister Tunde Okewale will speak at Birkbeck, University of London.
JENGbA was launched in 2010 as a grass roots campaign with the
mission statement of amending or abolishing the 'joint enterprise' law, and
overturning the convictions of people who have not directly contributed to the
commission of an offence.
The engaging discussion followed by Q&A will come one
day before the important Supreme Court hearing of R v Jogee on October 27th
& 28th which may hold major significance for the controversial
criminal law 'joint enterprise' doctrine.
If you are interested in law, human rights, social justice,
or want to network with passionate people striving to bring a positive change
to our society, please join us at this FREE
event and be a part in helping achieve institutional change.
Registration is welcome but not required.

Speakers
