Webinar: What has the ECHR ever done for us? Article 6 and fair trial rights 1998-2026

This session forms part of the Human Rights Law Reform: Convention, Common Law, and Parliament series.

Since the Human Rights Act 1998, Article 6 ECHR has influenced fair trial standards in criminal proceedings, shaping approaches from disclosure to delay, jury directions to appeals. In the last of our series on Human Rights Legal Reform, this webinar examines whether Strasbourg's interventions have enhanced fairness, or whether the common law and Parliament have long provided, and may still provide, equal or greater protection in practice.

Speakers include Kirsty Brimelow KC and Prof Dimitrios Giannoulopoulos. Chaired by Josh Kern (9BR Chambers)
