Always nice to see one of your edited collections in print. Co-edited with @lindsaystirton, @macsithigh, and @rmkirkham1, and including a raft of top-notch contributors, we use judicial review's formative moment in the 60s as a lens to re-examine and rethink modern debates.

An early paper of mine (ultimately published in OJLS) was initially rejected as 'inherently silly'. Another (ultimately published in Med LR) was initially rejected as 'wholly misconceived'. Peer reviewers can be wrong. Trust your ability and trust your work, ECRs!

Just received this volume in the post, with a chapter by @AislingMMcMahon and me on contact's role in commodification. It's heartening to see publishers still publishing bilingual French / English books. There are many excellent contributions in both languages in this volume.

It kept converting "vicarious liability" in amusing ways, I think the best was bioterrorist liability.

An internal event for staff at the University of York on what we mean and want to achieve through responsible innovation. How can we build broader conceptions of responsibility into research to make it socially responsive and socially aware? Register to join the conversation.

Are you tempted to extend our ideal point modelling work on judicial dispositions beyond the UK, @lindsaystirton?

Perhaps we need to do a comprehensive study on judicial thinking in Sri Lanka to try to understand what motivates different judges to look at cases in a particular way or whether there is any motivation at all. This is actually possible now with greater access to judgements (4/4)

One analogy is with the legal personality which Hindu idols enjoy at common law, and the manner in which the "will of the idol" used to be ascertained when there were disputes in relation to temples or worship.

One of the pleasures of working in the India Office Records at the @britishlibrary is that you find the most unexpected things in the files. Such as this document - a poem in Hebrew written in commemoration of Queen Victoria's Jubilee.
