It was our pleasure on Tuesday night to welcome the Cabinet Secretary for Justice, Michael Matheson MSP, to deliver Apex Scotland’s Annual Lecture for 2015 entitled Fairer Justice: A Vision for Scotland.
Speaking to a full house in the Signet Library, Edinburgh, Mr Matheson talked about the scope of his vision for a fairer and more progressive justice system in Scotland, one that we can feel proud of and which is based on evidence and good practice. The address was followed by a question and answer session where Mr Matheson took questions from the floor.
Apex’s Annual Lecture is now a key date in the justice calendar and we were pleased that Mr Matheson’s thoughts fit well with our desire to promote forward thinking and fresh discussion in the Scottish Justice field.
A recording of the lecture can be viewed on our website here and a written transcript is available here.
