If this can encourage students to engage with other European legal systems and a gain a more tolerant and internationally-focused perseptive on the law, this is surely to be welcomed. And, dare I say it, encourage UK students to learn other European languages ...

I guess we have different levels of *interesting* amidst the disciplines of law 😀

I think the reaction of most comparative lawyers says a lot. And no doubt every field has *interesting* characters ...

Too true. He is a great loss to comparative law/globalisation scholarship.

Paula Giliker @pgiliker.bsky.social · Oct 2

Just been working with a survey which indicates how few UK universities teaching some form of comparative law include sessions on methodology. Tendency to teach "Comparative and international perspectives on ..." without thinking what that actually entails. Hopefully more positive in Finland.

Paula Giliker @pgiliker.bsky.social · Oct 2

Whole-heartedly agree. So many PhDs/articles start with the simple sentence, "I will be using functionalism ..." without considering methodology more deeply.

Delighted to speak at the Pathways to Justice workshop at University of Technology Sydney discussing the non-implementation of IICSA reforms to state-based redress in England and Wales and UK case-law following BXB. An excellent forum for discussion and to engage in comparative insights.

Grooming, Shipman, Chilcot: for all the post-inquiry ‘never agains’, the default is inaction | Isabel Hardman

Elon Musk’s pot stirring over child sex abuse gangs has renewed focus on the issue, but why was so little done after the IICSA report in 2022? Has anything about the past week in politics felt a bit familiar to you? Some elements, like the political…

Students studying abroad as part of their degree do struggle with obtaining visas often arriving late as a result. If we want to increase student opportunities, this would be a great step forward.

It does feel like that at the moment. Sunny day ahead and then you switch on the news headlines ...

But we need also to think about what we mean by 'bridge buidling' and remain neutral commentators while respecting both sides of the bridge Often not the easiest of tasks.
