Mixed Messes provide an opportunity to engage one to one or in small groups with Members of Hall.
This evening begins with a drinks reception where you can meet and later dine in groups of four (a mess) with barrister and judicial members of the Inn. Dinner is preceded by a talk given by a guest of the Treasurer.
June’s Mixed Messes talk will be delivered by Her Honour Judge Wendy Joseph KC on, ‘The rewards of a life in crime.’
