On Friday 2 May 2014, Hasan Bakirci (Senior Lawyer, ECtHR) spoke at an event held at Wolfson College in association with the Wolfson Law Society.
Hasan Bakirci is a senior official at the European Court of Human Rights. He studied law in Istanbul and Oxford, graduating from both places with distinction. He is the author of a practitioner’s handbook on Article 3 of the European Convention on Human Rights.
Mr Bakirci has sixteen years’ experience as a lawyer at the Court, and prior to that worked for two years as a lawyer at the European Commission of Human Rights. He is currently a Head of Division at the Court and Deputy to the Registrar of the Filtering Section. He was recently responsible for overseeing a major initiative designed to bring the Court’s famously large backlog of cases under control.
The talk was followed by a Q&A session chaired by Mr Jamie Trinidad, Junior Research Fellow of Wolfson College.
