An evening that matters
Across southern Africa, talented young lawyers are stepping forward into justice systems — taking on cases that shape lives, communities and the future of democracy. Many of them began their journeys with a Canon Collins Leigh Day scholarship.
This evening offers a rare opportunity to:
-
hear their stories
-
understand the challenges at the coalface
-
and connect with people who, like you, are committed to meaningful change and human rights around the world
At a time when democratic institutions and legal protections are under strain
The sustainability of justice depends not only on strong systems, but on well‑trained, ethically grounded practitioners equipped to defend rights and expand access to justice. Education is the foundation of that work.
Hear from:
- Lord Jonny Oates, House of Lords, Politician and Author
- Daniel Leader, Partner in the International Group Litigation Department, Leigh Day – Lawyers Against Injustice
- Dr Hillary Musarurwa, Canon Collins Alumnus: An interdisciplinary researcher and evaluation leader whose work connects social research, development finance and systems change.
With a special guest performance by:
DeAngelo Mogale, Canon Collins Alumnus and award-winning performer currently appearing in the Zulu Ballet Inala on the West End.
Hosted by Leigh Day and Canon Collins Trust
