During 2020 BIICL invited academics, former judges, practitioners and commentators to come up with ways in which some aspect of the law or our justice system might be reimagined, in just 50 words. Now some of the contributors have been invited to expand on their item in short videos which will be featured on the BIICL website, Reimagining the Law page, during January 2021.

"To address widening health inequalities, health impact assessments of new (and existing) laws and policies should be routine. Precarious jobs, punitive benefits sanctions and legal aid cuts are not just unfair, they also ensure that the poorest and most marginalised citizens experience more ill health and have shorter life expectancies."
