Comments from the 2020 Criminal Appeals Live Webcast
This may be a better format! Every presenter rose to the challenge. Thank you.
Well done, especially under these circumstances.
Strangely enough, I think I enjoyed this webcast seminar even more than I always enjoy the live ones the Court has been putting on for some years now.
Great job by all presenters! Very strong conference.
Felt it went well even on a webcast.
