In this seminar, Professor David Howarth, Professor of Law and Public Policy at the University of Cambridge will explore the relationship between law and politics, and the role of lawyers in politics. He will also consider the relationships between lawyers, civil servants and the rule of law.

Are lawyers withdrawing from participation in democratic politics? If so, what, if anything, should be done about it?
