Fireside Chat with Lord Saville
Monday 7th April at 18.30 | The Drawing Room and Zoom | £15.00 per person*
*Includes one glass Prosecco
*£10.00 for those joining via Zoom
From a generation whose working lives were prefaced by National Service, Lord Saville had some time with the Royal Sussex Regiment, before Oxford and the start of an illustrious legal career that culminated in a stint on what is known now as the Supreme Court, and what became known as the Saville Inquiry.
For April’s Fireside Chat, please join Lord Saville in the Drawing Room where he can reflect on a life in the law after reaching the rank of Second Lieutenant. Covered by someone renowned for his “meticulous perfectionism” towards unearthing the facts will be how he oversaw for a decade the inquiry that bears his name into events in Northern Ireland, his ten years as a barrister, prefaced by scholarly excellence at Varsity, before becoming a High Court Judge, how the law and legal practice has evolved in his lifetime, and how, when sitting in the House of Lords his interest in computers helped shape Government policies on technology.
After this, as is now established protocol for the Fireside Chats, join the evening’s Guest of Honour for supper in the Coffee Room where conversation can deepen about the Drawing Room dialogue as well as widen to include other matters of special interest.
A privilege to invite such a distinguished public servant to the Drawing Room will carry the undoubted pressure of this pleasure to do justice to his years of service to the law. Of course, such pressure is a privilege.
