SEMINAR: Trial by media? Navigating news reporting in criminal courts

9BR Chambers will hold their latest autumn seminar ' Trial by media? Navigating news reporting in criminal courts' on 22nd November at 6pm. The seminar will focus on court reporting and its impact on criminal practitioners. It will be presented by two former journalists who are now both members of 9BR Chambers, Andrew Bousfield and Lucy Kinder.

They will discuss how to handle media coverage in high-profile criminal cases. This will include all aspects of a criminal case from investigation, arrest, charge and through to trial.
