HMCTS reform events programme

A calendar of our online and face-to-face events.

Overview

We’re modernising our courts and tribunals system to make it more straightforward, accessible and efficient for both those who use it and for those working within it.

We recognise the vital role that our partners across the justice system play in helping us to understand the needs of courts and tribunals users and make the most of modern ways of working.

Upcoming events

We host a series of face-to-face and online events, providing a range of opportunities to get involved.
