Justice for All - by Robert Hughes-Penney (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

A landmark series at the Old Bailey, captured in print. Keynote speeches, expert debate and commissioned research on the economic case for justice.

Justice for All brings together the most powerful insights from the Justice for All Series hosted at the Old Bailey. Drawing on keynote speeches, panel discussions and commissioned research, the book explores a central proposition: why justice for all is not only a moral imperative but also makes clear economic sense.

Featuring contributions from judges, policymakers, academics, business leaders and those with lived experience of the justice system, the book examines how fair, accessible and effective justice systems underpin stable societies, functioning markets and sustainable economic growth.

Capturing the ideas and debates from the series, Justice for All offers a forward-looking analysis of how justice systems must evolve to strengthen institutions and ensure justice works for everyone.
