Lord Wolfson of Tredegar, known at Selwyn as David Wolfson (SE 1987), is a King’s Counsel and one of Britain’s leading lawyers. But he has also gone into the world of politics, serving as Justice Minister under Boris Johnson – and then being the first minister to resign in protest at the evidence of lawbreaking in Downing Street during the pandemic. Now he is back in a leading political role as Shadow Attorney General in Kemi Badenoch’s Conservative team. Lord Wolfson will be in conversation with Roger Mosey about what he’s learned as a lawyer and more recently as a politician, and how the two worlds intersect.

Event organised in association with the college Politics Society.
