Winter Criminal Law Conference 2025
In terms of the transition, this Winter Conference is in July 2025 rather than having an 18-month hiatus. As such the Society is excited to offer legal practitioners the opportunity to attend their regular local criminal law CPD-intensive early in this new 2025-2026 CPD year. There will not be a Criminal Law Conference in February/March 2026.
