Look who’s here! A must-follow for public lawyers (and one for the @seanjones.org starter pack?) This round up looks incredibly useful, as well.
This Monday join our speakers (Julianne Kerr Morrison, Christopher Knight and Yaaser Vanderman) and their Christmas jumpers for a round-up of the top 12 administrative law cases of the year. Chaired by Jonathan Moffett KC. What better way to get into the festive mood?
