[edit] Me

2nd year law student at Robinson College, University of Cambridge. Studying: contract, land law, international law, administrative law, legal history. Studied: criminal law, tort, Roman law, constitutional law.

[edit] To do list

Being the lawyer-type that I am, I plan to give the following articles some attention:

[edit] Cases

• R v Secretary of State for the Home Department Ex p Doody
• Kay v. Lambeth LBC
• DPP v Majewski - specific intent and all that jazz
• McGhee v. National Coal Board -- mesothelioma cases, Compensation Act 2006, issues of causation, "materially increased risk"
• Re Polemis - Polemis directness. Woot.

[edit] Statutes

• Compensation Act 2006 -- background, effect, claims management, response to the mesothelioma cases
• European Communities Act 1972 (UK)
• Statute of Frauds 1677 - there is a page for "statute of frauds" in general, which digressed into US law. Would be nice to discuss the actual Statute, background (Slade's case, professional perjury, etc.)

[edit] Institutions

• Court of Exchequer Chamber - history, appointment, clashes with the King's Bench & Common Pleas
• Courts of the United Kingdom - history, present, 2009 reform
• Common Bench

[edit] Other

• Blasphemy law in the United Kingdom
• Duty of care in English law - requires complete rewrite. Maybe merge with standard of care - seeing as the standard defines the duty?
• Standard of care in English law - this needs a LOT of work. Historical background to the common duty of care; also the reasonable man, reasonable professional, reasonable 12-y-o schoolgirl, etc.
• Common law#History of the common law - low priority
• Bill of Middlesex

[edit] Roman law

Plan to build a proper framework for classical/post-classical Roman law when I have the chance.
