About the Event
The Law Commission has launched a Call for Evidence as part of its review of homicide law. The
review covers the structure of murder and manslaughter, the partial defences of loss of control
and diminished responsibility, duress, self-defence, killings in the context of domestic abuse, and
sentencing for murder. Join us for a panel discussion of these important issues, with expert
insights followed by audience contributions.
