Description
Cambridge University Human Rights Law Society hosted their speakers' event with Clare Wade KC on 23rd February 2024, titled 'Re-framing the legal landscape in domestic homicide.'
Clare Wade KC is on the advisory committee for research into women who kill, commissioned by the Centre for Women's Justice. She was appointed Independent Reviewer on domestic homicide and recently published the Domestic Homicide Sentencing Review. She will be discussing her work on this, in which she made several recommendations for amendment to the current manslaughter guidelines to offer greater protection for victims of domestic violence. She will be discussing her recommendations and the recent package of government reforms released in response to these in 2023.
Clare has also been counsel on several landmark cases, including the Sally Challen case which paved the way for the Court of Appeal to consider coercive control as a partial defence to murder for victims of domestic abuse. Clare has also received multiple accolades including 'Barrister of the Year' at the Women in Law Awards 2020, is ranked a Tier 1 criminal barrister, and was shortlisted for Crime Silk of the Year 2020 by the Legal 500.
