The theme of the Symposium, 'Justice Connections', was designed to facilitate discussion of common themes and problems relating to justice in diverse fields and explore solutions that may transcend traditional categories of law and institutional divides. There were four sessions, each examining a different sub-theme: Justice Behind the Scenes; Justice in the Workplace; Justice, the Individual and the Courtroom; and Justice in a Comparative Context.
