2015 marks the 800th anniversary since the first Magna Carta was sealed at Runnymede.
 
Celebrations will take place across the country and King’s College London will be supporting the Anniversary through an important research project, which will produce the first clause-by-clause commentary on the Charter's content in a hundred years, as well as hosting lectures and other commemorative events.
 
In this film leading experts examine the history, significance and relevance today of the document that is credited with establishing the rule of law.
