Justice for All is a landmark evening event series centred on the Old Bailey, the world’s most iconic criminal court, and will explore key areas of contemporary justice.

The Series will be held in the Great Hall of the Old Bailey. Each event brings together thought leaders from the legal, political, corporate, and civil society sectors to spotlight urgent issues and shape the future of justice—locally, nationally, and globally. The evenings will conclude with networking drinks receptions.

Context and Relevance

Marking the 10th anniversary of United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 16 (SDG 16): "Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions," the series will assess global progress in promoting inclusive societies, ensuring access to justice, and building accountable, effective institutions. This milestone provides an opportunity to evaluate achievements to date and assess opportunities for progress in the next five years, reinforcing the commitment to strengthening justice systems worldwide.

The City of London, a global centre for law, finance, and justice, is uniquely positioned to host this event, bringing together influential figures from legal, corporate, and charitable sectors. The series will serve as a platform for discussing key issues related to justice, rehabilitation, and social responsibility. Given the City's international influence on legal systems and judicial reforms, the event will attract legal professionals from the UK and abroad, coinciding with the start of the legal year when many members of the judiciary are present in London.

The Old Bailey, one of the world’s most prestigious criminal courts, will provide a historic setting for discussions on judicial reform and the fair administration of justice. Additionally, the series will collaborate with the Magna Carta Trust to commemorate the 800th anniversary of the 1225 Magna Carta, underlining the enduring importance of the rule of law. The Magna Carta has long stood as a symbol of civil liberties and justice reform, and the series will draw upon its legacy to advocate for modern judicial advancements, reinforcing its relevance in contemporary legal systems.
