A unique insight into the workings of a coroner's court will be offered by a London barrister at a lecture organised by the Isle of Man Law Society next month.

Dr Wilcox has Manx connections, is dual-qualified as a barrister and a doctor, and worked at the old Noble's Hospital before her career took her to the UK.
Jane O'Rourke is chief executive at the Law Society.
