Not to be outdone by year 13, the first year lawyers have also grabbed ‘Flair’ opportunities. Nehal Pabari listened to a Podcast by ‘The Secret Barrister’ and explored how the defence of diminished responsibility was potentially being misused. Her presentation involved the class through using thought provoking questions. Lauren Coleman and Katie Parker both chose to look at the commercial surrogacy case of 2020 and the potential impact on the law as well as how the decision links to the course. Lily Adams read Helena Kennedy’s book, ‘How British Law is Failing Women’, an extremely topical subject, and shared with the class the evidence presented by Kennedy as well as how the law could now move forward. In addition, Hannah Barry produced an overview of the book ‘Laws Strangest Cases’, published in the newsletter at the end last term. Jesse Harry-Brown has written a thought-provoking commentary on racial inequality in the justice system, using his reading of ‘To Kill a Mocking Bird’ as a starting point. Please take the time to read his piece in this newsletter.
