One of Scotland's most high profile court practitioners, Simon Di Rollo has argued a number of important cases before the Court of Session, the Sheriff Court, the High Court of Justiciary and General Medical Council tribunals.
From 'Acts of God', as featured in Billy Connelly's The Man Who Sued God (2001), to corporate polluters and 'toxic torts' in John Travolta's A Civil Action (1998), leading QC, Simon Di Rollo, returns to the Director's Cut to cross-examine hit movies that focus on the law.
Di Rollo has also represented three leading cases involving the European Convention on Human Rights in the House of Lords.
Simon Di Rollo will be in conversation with Dr. Alan Marcus from the University of Aberdeen's department of Film and Visual Culture, and Prof. Peter Duff from the University's School of Law.
This event will be held at the Belmont Picturehouse Cinema as part of our Masterclass community outreach programme in collaboration with the University of Aberdeen's Law School.
A reception will be held afterwards in the Belmont Picturehouse downstairs cafe.
