JUSTICE Educational and Research Trust

The Trust receives convenanted subscriptions from members and friends of JUSTICE and grants for special projects and general research. Its income covers the salary of a Legal Secretary, the greater part of the rent and administrative overheads, and the expenses of research committees.

During the past 12 months it has received donations of £1,000 from the Max Rayne Foundation, £2,000 from the Nuffield Foundation (for the Decriminalisation project), £750 from the William Goodhart Charitable Trust, £500 from Mr. and Mrs. Jack Pye's Charitable Trust, £500 from the Drapers Company (for attendance at overseas conferences), £500 from the International Publishing Co., and £250 from Hill Samuel & Co. The Trustees would like to express their warm gratitude for these generous contributions.

Members of JUSTICE are invited to enter into covenants, either as an alternative, or in addition to their ordinary subscriptions, and they can help by drawing our needs to the attention of those who can influence the allocation of charitable funds.

The Council

At the Annual General Meeting in June 1976, Lord Foot, Lord Wigoder and Peter Carter-Ruck retired under the three year rule and were re-elected. Charles Wegg-Prosser and David Widdicombe, who had served as co-opted members, were elected to fill two vacancies. In the early part of this year Glyn Hardwicke, who had given valuable service on the Executive Committee and the Criminal Justice Committee, retired through ill-health. Anthony Lester, Q.C., and David Graham, Q.C., were co-opted at the October meeting of the Council.

Officers

Following the retirement from office of Geoffrey Garrett, to whom tribute is paid in the Chairman's Introduction, Lewis Hawser and Paul Sieghart were appointed Joint Chairmen of the Executive Committee.
