A rare, inside look at how joint enterprise is being used in serious criminal trials at London’s Old Bailey. Based on a six-month court watch, the event will bring together legal experts, campaigners, artists and individuals directly impacted by joint enterprise laws to examine how these laws are disproportionately used against young Black men, and how we can challenge them.
Panellist List for the Joint Enterprise on Trial event:
Dr Nisha Waller
Nisha leads APPEAL’s racial justice work, challenging discriminatory practices in the criminal legal system through research and advocacy. Nisha recently completed her PhD at the University of Oxford, where her research investigated racialised processes of prosecution in the context of ‘joint enterprise’, with a particular focus on the experiences of young Black men. Her expertise lies in the intersection of race and the criminal legal system in England and Wales, particularly in joint enterprise prosecutions. Her work has been motivated by personal experience, having been closely connected to someone convicted under joint enterprise.
Tehreem Sultan
Tehreem is APPEAL’s Racial Justice Researcher, working on racial justice work to raise awareness of and challenge discriminatory practices in the criminal justice system. She was called to the Bar of England and Wales in October 2023. Tehreem completed her LL.M. at Harvard Law School specialising in criminal and international human rights law. Tehreem previously worked at the International Criminal Court on a number of state investigations. Her work is motivated by her experience of the justice system in different jurisdictions including the Middle East and South Asia.
