The effects of the Constitutional Reform Act 2005 - has it strengthened or weakened our constitution?
The lecture is followed by a Dinner in Old Hall.

Director of Studies in Law at Queens’ College and Chair of the Faculty of Law at the University of Cambridge, Professor Richard Fentiman, said: “The Queens' Distinguished Lecture in Law has become a significant part of the Cambridge legal calendar. Reflecting our strong tradition in Law it is a platform for bringing important legal issues to a wide audience. We are delighted that Lord Falconer, architect of the Constitutional Reform Act and a Queens' graduate, has chosen this occasion to review the important changes it made to our constitution".
