23 April, 2009. Crap I have logged in and filled in the bits about name and address, but haven't actually got round to any of the rest of the form. That would seem ok (given that we have a week) except that I'm out to dinner tonight, spending the weekend at a debating competition in Newcastle and I have a training session after work on Monday. 12 OLPAS applications in 3 days? Well, in 9-12 hours ass I have a crazy thing called work to do the rest of the time). Posted by - -. Links to this post. Posted by...

The Scots Law Student. About The Scots Law Student. The SLS : Life and trials of learning law in Scotland. We don’t own the footprints. The great irony is we don’t own the surface of the moon, so in a sense we don’t own the footprints left by Apollo astronauts. In developments rather outside of my jurisdiction, NASA is seeking consensus with. Interestingly the law here comes from the Outer Space Treaty 1967, which is one of these UN treaties which you notice in footnotes when you’re a student and think i...

https://scotslawstudent.wordpress.com/2012/05
The Scots Law Student. About The Scots Law Student. The SLS : Life and trials of learning law in Scotland. Month: May, 2012. May 19, 2012. Should a jury know what balance of probabilities means? Was a criminal appeal in April following a conviction of having a knife in a public place without reasonable excuse or lawful authority which centred on the direction of juries. I think this case is a fantastic example of just saying too much to the police:. My feeling on this one is that had he stopped after on ...

On catgate and outrageousness | The Scots Law Student
https://scotslawstudent.wordpress.com/2011/10/08/on-catgate-and-outrageousness
The Scots Law Student. About The Scots Law Student. The SLS : Life and trials of learning law in Scotland. On catgate and outrageousness. The Guardian is making very ominous sounds about Ken Clarke’s future career in the wake of catgate which, if true, is possibly the saddest political coup in history. Spoiler: it totally is. The notable thing about outrageous stories is that they’re unexpected that makes it stand out. You see it regularly in health reporting to the extent that if a new study reveals...

Kindle update | The Scots Law Student
https://scotslawstudent.wordpress.com/2011/10/04/kindle-update
The Scots Law Student. About The Scots Law Student. The SLS : Life and trials of learning law in Scotland. I have waxed lyrical about my love for the Amazon Kindle before. So I’m naturally interested in Amazon’s revamp. Regular readers will remember that my only complaints about the Kindle were its annotation features (particularly export) and the keyboard. Therefore, I’m quite happy to see what they’ve done now:. That awful keyboard is gone. It’s essentially a slightly smaller, faster, cheaper Wifi Kind...

The Scots Law Student. About The Scots Law Student. The SLS : Life and trials of learning law in Scotland. It’s hard to overstate how important good information is in business and this applies equally to why Masters of the Universe are tempted to go in for insider trading as it does why we have Go Compare adverts. This is not here for its musical chops. The competition for supermarkets in Britain is pretty limited and customers have a particular disadvantage here. Come to our aid here:. November 8, 2011.

I have been rightly guilted out of my quiet period by a reminder of the wider law blogging community from Law Actually. For which I can only apologise and blame the Diploma. I’ve been letting this blog wither a little (even letting the domain lapse as I have finished the formal. And now for some top quality British legal drama. May 16, 2012. 2 Comments to “Silk returns”.

Campaign for Real Ale to not support lager? | The Scots Law Student

The Scots Law Student. About The Scots Law Student. The SLS : Life and trials of learning law in Scotland. Campaign for Real Ale to not support lager? Cynically, I suspect he doesn’t. Want CAMRA to support all brewers, because CAMRA approval would then be worth less, but he does want them to support his beer in particular). I suspect it’s time for a Campaign for Microbreweries to take up the role that the Camden brewer clearly expects CAMRA to perform but there’s a definite irony in expecting...You are c...

Juries are crazy, sometimes | The Scots Law Student
https://scotslawstudent.wordpress.com/2011/09/08/juries-are-crazy-sometimes
The Scots Law Student. About The Scots Law Student. The SLS : Life and trials of learning law in Scotland. Juries are crazy, sometimes. In the shadow of the Neil Lennon. Look-we-have-a-video-it-happened-on-TV Not Proven verdict Scott Greenfield. Writes about a law review. I imagine this comes straight from police dramas where the sleazy defence lawyer is. The lesson seems to be that juries sometimes do unpredictable things, whether that’s returning unexpected verdicts, assuming evidence is normally...
