Lawyer, human rights activist and prize-winning author Peter Harris has received an honorary doctorate from the University of Warwick to add to his Warwick LLM.

In the early 1980s, newly graduated from Rhodes University, Peter took a role at South Africa’s Legal Resources Centre, a campaigning organisation set up to improve access to justice for disadvantaged South Africans. He continued to specialise in human rights issues and became involved in the fight against apartheid, often acting for the defence in political trials. His first book, In a Different Time, tells the story of one of these trials – the Delmas Four, whom Peter represented.
