//Denning Lectures

"These lectures which were instituted by the Bar Association for Commerce, Finance and Industry have produced interesting and provocative contributions.  Now and henceforth the lectures are to be known as "The Denning Lectures" in honour of our most interesting and provocative Master of the Rolls.  He has always been concerned about the state of the Profession and is a supporter of the Association whose members help to ensure that the training, discipline and ethics of the Bar are fully maintained outside the narrow confines of advocacy and litigation".
