Traditionally a lawyer's own views and political affiliation are irrelevant to the pursuit of the legal process. This lecture will examine - and celebrate - the work of lawyers who have crossed the usual lines and worked for political change. It will look at the life of South African advocate Bram Fischer, who defended Nelson Mandela at the Rivonia trial, and was himself prosecuted for sabotage and sentenced to life in prison. It will consider modern examples of lawyers paying a heavy price for political engagement, as well as the ethical issues which are engaged - how far can a lawyer go?A lecture by Thomas Grant QC 19 OctoberThe transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website: https://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/political-lawyerGresham College has been giving free public lectures since 1597.

BRAM FISCHER raccontato da Davide Maggiore

Filmregisseur en scenarioschrijver Jean van de Velde heeft een gevarieerd oeuvre opgebouwd. All Stars bleek een groot succes. Met Lek, De kleine blonde dood en Bram Fischer won hij meerdere Gouden Kalveren. Nu is daar de 8- delige thriller serie ‘Morten’ op NPO3, waarin Peter Paul Muller de rol van de ambitieuze politicus Morten Mathijsen speelt. Presentatie: Coen Verbraak

South African journalist Gavin Fischer gets exclusive access to newly available recordings from one of the most significant trials in modern political history – The Rivonia Trial. He has a personal connection. His great-uncle Bram Fischer led the defence of Nelson Mandela and his co-accused during the trial in the early 1960s. Gavin looks back on the trial and Bram's decision to use his white privilege to fight apartheid – rather than be part of it – with Denis Goldberg, one of the last survivors of the trial.

AV Education — This is a special edition of Amabookabooka – it’s from a previous podcast series we produced called Extraordinary Lives. This episode, recorded two years ago, was never released and we’re releasing it now to coincide with the 109th anniversary of the birth of Bram Fischer – the South African prime minster we should have had.

Panel discussion examining the question of whether it is ever justified to break the law. Chair: Sir Nicholas Stadlen (Alistair Horne Visiting Fellow 2015/2016, Academic Visitor 2016/2017, former English High Court Judge). Speakers: Lord Joel Joffe (Nelson Mandela's Attorney at the Rivonia Trial, sponsor of the first Assisted Dying Bill, former chairman of Oxfam); Sir Sydney Kentridge QC (Defended Nelson Mandela's QC, Bram Fischer, at his trial for sabotage and at the proceedings to remove him from the Roll of Advocates for dishonourable conduct and jumping bail and represented the family of Steve Biko at his inquest); Kate O'Regan (Inaugural Director of the Bonavero Institute of Human Rights, Oxford University, former Justice of the Constitutional Court of South Africa ).

This week's Great Life might have become an Afrikaner Nationalist Prime Minister of apartheid South Africa, but instead became its most prominent white opponent. A formidable advocate, he led the defence of Nelson Mandela in the Rivonia Trial. It is no exaggeration to say Bram Fischer saved Mandela's life, and it is said Mandela would have made him his vice-president, had he lived to see Mandela's release. He's nominated by former English High Court Judge Sir Nick Stadlen along with Lord Joffe. Matthew Parris is the presenter. The producer is Perminder Khatkar.
