A conference, organised by the Jersey Law Review and held at the Reform Club, London on 2nd July 2004, celebrated 800 years of judicial and political autonomy and examined the development of the law and constitutions of Jersey and Guernsey over eight centuries.

A number of distinguished judges, lawyers and academics from the United Kingdom, France and the Channel Islands delivered papers which have been collected and produced in a hard back volume. The breadth and depth of the contributions make 'A Celebration of Autonomy' one of the most important collections of writings on the law of the Channel Islands which has ever been published.
