Easter Lecture & Reception

The Rt. Hon. Dominic Grieve KC will speak to us on Tuesday, 2 June 2026, on the subject of his recent work for the Government on anti-Muslim hatred. This topic raises questions of religious identity, discrimination and freedom of speech, of obvious interest to Catholic lawyers, judges and jurists. Mr Grieve KC’s talk will be followed by drinks and canapés until about 9pm. Dominic Grieve KC was MP for Beaconsfield from 1997 to 2019 and served as Shadow Home Secretary and then as Attorney General from 2010 to 2014. He was Chair of the Intelligence and Security Committee from 2015 to 2019.
