WE ARE LIVE! Prof @_lesliethomas QC of GC, the first Black Professor of Law at @GreshamCollege, is speaking tonight at his FREE public lecture series 'Race, Colonialism & Power in the Legal System'

2nd in the series: 'Judicial Racism & the Lammy Review' bit.ly/3lIoleB Image
"Most people know that the English legal system has long had a race problem. Yet, we often attribute this to policing only, allowing the wider justice system – judges in particular – to get off scot-free...
...However, judicial racism has, and still does, play a critical role in perpetuating #racialinequity."

*** RAP & the State’s double whammy: Lack of expert challenge to racist stereotyping ***

NEW BLOG by our Keir Monteith QC in advance of our webinar on the use of RAP lyrics & DRILL MUSIC in prosecutions.

⚡⚡⚡A MUST READ: bit.ly/3vRytUT
During the Garden Court webinar on prosecuting Rap on January 20th 2021 we asked our audience three questions. The responses were shocking:

1. 43% of respondents stated that a client had been prosecuted where some of the evidence used included Rap / Drill lyrics.
2. Only 16% of respondents had instructed a defence expert in a case that had involved Rap / Drill lyrics.

School exclusions data - Our @Metienne12 comments: “There is nothing in these figures that will surprise anyone with even a passing familiarity with the culture and practice of school discipline...” bit.ly/31fMMoU
“...which, in more & more schools seeks to mimic the prison & criminal justice systems in which Black and other minoritised groups are over-represented.

This is an issue of life & death - the cases of Jaden Moodie and Tashaun Aird provide just two of many illustrations of that.”
“Disproportionate rates of exclusion of Black, Gypsy, Roma, Traveller and/or SEND pupils is so well-established that statutory guidance requires school leaders to take specific account of it in order to reduce them.”
