Aye Write Festival: Michael Mansfield

Radical lawyer Michael Mansfield QC is committed to human rights and civil liberties, driven by anger at injustice and hypocrisy, and has torn down the citadels of arcane legal conventions for more than 40 years, winning many cases, often against the odds. In Memoirs of a Radical Lawyer and this special lecture, he looks at many of them - the Angry Brigade, the Birmingham Six, the Bloody Sunday Inquiry, Angela Cannings, Jill Dando, Ruth Ellis, Stephen Lawrence, the Price Sisters, Judith Ward, Arthur Scargill and the miners, Dodi Fayed and Jean Charles de Menezes - and reflects on the need to construct a democratic legal system.
