Daily Mail editor Paul Dacre is to make the opening remarks at the inaugural Stephen Lawrence criminal justice lecture next Monday (20 February).
The lecture will then be delivered by the former Metropolitan police commissioner, Lord (Ian) Blair.
Stephen's mother, Doreen, will also speak at the event, which is being hosted by the City law firm Freshfields.
It follows last month's convictions of two men for Stephen's murder in 1993. And it will occur on the eve of the 13th anniversary of the publication of the Macpherson report, which is regarded as one of the most important moments in the history of criminal justice in Britain.
The Mail's part in campaigning for the killers to be brought to justice proved to be crucial to the outcome of the case.
Following Blair's lecture, there will be an address by Baroness Scotland, the former attorney general, and a discussion hosted by the former justice minister Jack Straw and footballer Garth Crooks.
