  1. ECtHR judgment on prisoners voting not a complete victory for UK but still a lifeline for government, in my view. Gives UK wider discretion.
  2. ECtHR agrees with UK that states have wide discretion on how they regulate ban on prisoners voting, permitting general ban. Scoppola loses.
  3. HHJ Peter Thornton QC appointed 1st chief coroner. But does he have as much power as when he was first given that job? judiciary.gov.uk/media/media-re…
  4. Will ECtHR throw UK a lifeline on prisoner votes tomorrow? If not, will the commission on a bill of rights help the PM? guardian.co.uk/law/2012/may/2…
  5. Professionalism is under threat, says Lady Justice Hallett, and so is the independence of the judiciary. @lawsocgazette lawgazette.co.uk/opinion/joshua…
  6. If Lord Sumption has anything to do with it - and he does - foreign secretary will soon be held to account as home sec. guardian.co.uk/law/2012/may/1…
  7. @LawJusticeSoc @wolfsoncollege Looking forward to joining you, other stories permitting.

  10. Abu Qatada: told you so. @GdnLaw yesterday. guardian.co.uk/law/2012/may/0…
  11. @AdamWagner1 Very well summarised, if I may say so.
  12. Publishers of Spectator to be charged over article by Rod Liddle about Stephen Lawrence trial. Author not liable under s 83 CJA 2003
  13. Why Abu Qatada has only a slim chance of success tomorrow: all you need to know about the three options for the ECtHR. guardian.co.uk/law/2012/may/0…
  14. @ruskin147 Fire alert
  15. @judyk113 @jackofkent This post is not about the guidance in the bench book. It's about the judgment.
  16. Lord Woolf announces that Lord Phillips, outgoing president of UK Supreme Ct, will succeed him as pres of Qatar Int'l Court #qatarlawforum
  17. Malik Dahlan, chairing #qatarlawforum, says, in Hebrew, אני רוצה שלום עכשיו. Means "I want peace now"
  18. Malik Dahlan, chairing session at #qatarlawforum, hopes Israel will join new regional organisation. Does he mean Qatar may be peace broker?
