Discover how the Old Bailey Online inspired the series “Garrow’s Law”.

The website is a product of a ten year collaboration between the Universities of Hertfordshire and Sheffield and the Open University.
The evening will commence with a screening of an episode from Garrow's Law, followed by a Q & A sessions with Tony Marchant and Tim Hitchcock.
A drinks reception will provided after the event.
