An unhealthy sign: whenever an app asks me “would you like to provide feedback? Yes/Maybe later/No” I always hit “maybe later” because I don’t want to appear rude.

An issue of The Law Teacher dropped through my letterbox this morning—but not the one you might think!

Looking forward to having a read of issue 9(2) whilst also using our new Bluesky account (@theltjournal.bsky.social) to connect The Law Teacher to new audiences.

John Rawls: Imagine you are the elf. You must determine the rules regarding the distribution of presents without knowledge of whether you are naughty or nice in the real world. Also, you do not know which presents you would want to get.

Do you have a favourite footnote? I have. It is in Richard Hyland's 'Gifts - A Study in Comparative Law' (2009). It tells about a lost book and memory.
