Holdsworth Presidential Address: Sir David Lloyd Jones

International Law before the English Courts: Law, Fact and Fiction

Every year the Holdsworth Club invites a prominent judge or lawyer to be the Holdsworth President for that year. The main duty is to deliver the Holdsworth Presidential Address, a lecture on a topic of their choice.

The Address has been delivered every year since 1928 and the list of past Holdsworth Club Presidents reads like a Who’s Who of the most prominent lawyers of the past 80+ years.

This year’s Holdsworth President is Sir David Lloyd Jones, Lord Justice of Appeal and Chairman of the Law Commision, who will speak on the topic of International Law before the English Courts: Law, Fact and Fiction.
