A FREE public debate on the legal position of war in Iraq will be held at a North-East university next month.

Organisers at the University of Teesside are keen to point out it is not a pro or anti-war meeting.

The seminar is entitled Iraq: A Lawyer's Perspective by Jude Beadle, a law lecturer at the university, who will be discussing the legal background to the crisis and the implications for the future.

It will be in room A1.001, first floor of the university's Clarendon Building, off Southfield Road, Middlesbrough, near the Dickens Inn on April 9, from 5pm - 7pm.
