Documents pertaining to the cases of individuals defended by Kevin Boyle, Françoise Hampson, Aisling Reidy, Bill Bowring, Sheldon Leader, Tony Fisher, and Nicholas Stewart (the 'Essex team') in collaboration with the Kurdish Human Rights Project (also referred to as the Kurdistan Human Rights Project) and Diyarbakır-based lawyers associated with the Human Rights Association (İHP).

System of arrangement
The series is arranged into 60 sub-sub-series, with each subseries pertaining to a particular client's case in alphabetical order by surname. Each case (sub-sub-series) has been arranged into files and sub-files ('tabs' or 'dividers') by Hampson or Boyle; this arrangement has been maintained. These materials came from binders donated by the Hampson estate, as opposed to the smaller casefiles organised in folders donated by the Boyle estate (A44/43/6).
