The Hampel Lecture: Professor The Hon George Hampel AM, KC - A Celebration of His Life and Achievements Delivered by His Honour Judge Anthony Leonard (Inner Temple Bencher) with contributions from the audience and comments from Her Honour Judge (Felicity) Hampel AM SC (Inner Temple Bencher). George Hampel (1933-2024), an Australian barrister, judge and academic, and an Academic Bencher of The Inner Temple, was best known for his contribution to advocacy training; he was the first professor of advocacy to be appointed worldwide. 'The Hampel Method' was adopted by many common law countries to teach advocacy and was introduced by him to the four Inns of Court of England and Wales when he led a series of 'training the trainer' events here in the 1980’s. But George Hampel was much more than the creator of 'The Hampel Method' – he filled his 91 years with adventure and accomplishments within and outside of the law. We welcome members of the Bar and Bench of England and Wales and legal professionals and others from across the world to join us for this Memorial Lecture delivered by His Honour Judge Anthony Leonard, which will provide an opportunity to examine a life well lived. The lecture will include an opportunity for guests to share their own memories. It will be followed by a drinks reception for those attending in person. While we encourage guests to join us in person wherever possible, this event will be live streamed for those who wish to attend online. Doors open: 5.30pm Lecture: 5.45pm – 6.45pm Drinks and networking reception: 6.45pm – 8pm Open to members of all Inns Non-members: please scroll beneath the Member Login box below and click "Add Ticket".

Paradise Lost and Found The Inner Temple’s intriguing purchase of an early (1688) edition of Paradise Lost formerly owned by the Royal Master of Revels, Charles Killigrew (1655 – 1725), and annotated with the names of numerous members of the Inn, including the names of four English Dukes with stage directions, indicates that John Milton’s great work was once performed at the Inn. On 29 October, the Inn will host a symposium with Professor Joe Moshenka and Dr William Poole of Oxford University in conversation with our current Master of Revels, Dr Tom Kinninmont.
