VOLUNTEERS REQUIRED

The Law Reform Committee is seeking volunteers to join its Committee, to assist in the following:

1. Research and review existing laws and regulations in Holborn, focusing on areas that require reform or improvement. Identify key issues that need attention and prioritise them based on their impact on the community. In particular we will want to focus on the recent Post Office miscarriages of justice and see the impact this has on the community and wider. What steps can we take to assist the exoneration of the innocent victims are dealt with post haste.

2. We will reach out to various stakeholders including legal professionals, community organisations, government officials, and members of the public. Conduct consultations, roundtable discussions, and public hearings to gather input, insights, and suggestions on potential law reforms. We will review the Trust and Wills legislation.

3. Collaborate with legal experts, scholars, and practitioners to analyse the identified issues and develop innovative solutions. Establish working groups or committees to focus on specific areas of law reform on generative AI in dispute resolution, such as criminal justice, family law, or environmental regulations.

4. We will try to raise public awareness by launching a comprehensive public awareness campaign to inform the community about the ongoing law reform initiatives in relation to AI. Utilise various mediums such as social media, public forums, and educational workshops to engage and educate the public about the importance and impact of law reform.

5. Review draft legislation or amendments based on the recommendations and findings from the research and stakeholder engagement on AI. Conduct further consultations with relevant parties, including legal experts, government officials, and affected communities, to refine and improve the proposed reforms.
