| This videocast was originally captured during the Specialist Accreditation Conference 2022 - Criminal Law stream. This session explores the highly controversial issue of secret trials. Kieran Pender delves into the history of closed and partially-closed judicial proceedings, the enactment of the National Security Information (Criminal and Civil Proceedings) Act 2004, and examines case studies concerning Witness J, Witness K, Bernard Collaery and David McBride. Furthermore, this session covers open justice concerns and the issue of whether the NSI Act is unconstitutional. Kieran Pender also considers matters concerning reform in terms of the INSLM inquiry and prospects for a wider review and legislative change.
