The Assize Seminars provide a space for cutting-edge academic work to play a practical role in understanding and developing the law. They are a chance to challenge, debate and refine criminal justice, providing a bridge from academia to criminal legal practice. Just like the Assize of old, the seminars are peripatetic.

The third Assize seminar took place in Cambridge on 27 April 2018. This session was entitled "What is a Sentence?", featuring:

- Speaker: Professor Nicola Padfield QC (Hon), University of Cambridge

- Commentator: Professor Andrew Ashworth QC (Hon), University of Oxford
