Stephen
Cadwaladr

A criminal practitioner with a wealth of experience specialising in jury advocacy, with forays into the Court of Appeal when necessary.

A firm believer that trial by jury was correctly characterised by Lord Devlin as “… more than an instrument of justice and more than one wheel of the constitution:  It is the lamp that shows that freedom lives”, and that any dilution of it, or of the standard of proof in criminal cases would be the act of an overreaching state, and a step along the slippery slope towards dictatorship.
