DLA conferences

About the Conference
The 2005 DLA Conference was planned to coincide with the UK government's review of discrimination law. The title of the conference, "Re-imagining Equality: a vision for the future", made clear its aim to stimulate thinking amongst practising and academic lawyers, advice workers and equality activists about what new equality legislation should look like. Speakers were selected because of their wide and varied experience of using the law to combat discrimination.

It was also hoped that participants would gain a greater understanding of how existing law could be used most effectively; and that they would be encouraged to participate in the current debate in order to secure new equality legislation - perhaps a single equality act -- that will indeed make a difference.

Keynote Speaker: Judge Albie Sachs from the South African Constitutional Court
