The Annual Justices and Jurors Lecture was instituted to celebrate the formal status of the Guildable Manor Court Leet as a ‘preserved jurisdiction’ under the Administration of Justice Act 1977. The Manor Free Tenants are the Jurors of the Manorial and Borough Courts and they can be traced beyond the City of London’s acquisition of the Manor in 1327, back to Domesday Book and from the Laws of King Alfred ‘the Great’ who founded the Southwark burh in circa 880 AD.
As in fact the oldest yet most junior jurisdiction in the country the Lectures were instituted by the most senior Justice of the highest court in the land which was also the most recent in formation in 2010.
The lectures are given under Chatham House Rules
