Wits School of Law - thank you for the opportunity to facilitate a panel discussion at the upcoming Law Conference - especially about something I am so passionate about.

My panelists all have so much to contribute to the topic - diverse views, diverse sets of experience, all equally intriguing. I am especially humbled that retired Judge Roland Sutherland has accepted my invitation and we look forward to learning from him.

Come join us - it will be worth it!
