    The Honourable Society of the Middle Temple Middle Society Honourable the The of 2019 Issue 59 Michaelmas 2019 Issue 59 Women Readers of Middle Temple Celebrating 100 Years of Women at Middle Temple The Incorporated Council of Law Reporting for England and Wales Practice Note (Relevance of Law Reporting) [2019] ICLR 1 Catchwords — Indexing of case law — Structured taxonomy of subject matter — Identification of legal issues raised in particular cases — Legal and factual context — “Words and phrases” con- strued — Relevant legislation — European and International instruments The common law, whose origins were said to date from the reign of King Henry II, was based on the notion of a single set of laws consistently applied across the whole of England and Wales. A key element in its consistency was the principle of stare decisis, according to which decisions of the senior courts created binding precedents to be followed by courts of equal or lower status in later cases. In order to follow a precedent, the courts first needed to be aware of its existence, which in turn meant that it had to be recorded and published in some way. Reporting of cases began in the form of the Year Books, which in the 16th century gave way to the publication of cases by individual reporters, known collectively as the Nominate Reports. However, by the middle of the 19th century, the variety of reports and the variability of their quality were such as to provoke increasing criticism from senior practitioners and the judiciary. The solution proposed was the establishment of a body, backed by the Inns of Court and the Law Society, which would be responsible for the publication of accurate coverage of the decisions of senior courts in England and Wales.

Useful Numbers 3 Fitzwilliam CollegE A (Very) Brief History Joining Fitz makes you part of an educational tradition going back more than 150 years. The College owes its existence to the Non-Collegiate Students Board of 1869, set up following a Royal Commission which wished people to be able to study in Cambridge without incurring the costs of College membership. Students were admitted directly to the University by the Board. The Non-Collegiate students and staff soon developed a strong corporate spirit. From 1874, they were based in a fine building known as Fitzwilliam House (above right), which still stands opposite the Fitzwilliam Museum. By the 1950s Government support for students was such that an economical route into Cambridge became unnecessary, and there was a high risk that Fitzwilliam House, as well as the Non-Collegiate Students Board, would disappear. But Fitzwilliam survived. By 1963 the student body had grown too large for Fitzwilliam House, and so the present site ‘up the hill’ was etablished. Fitz became a fully- fledged College in 1966.

  • HUMANE JUSTICE What Role Do Kindness, Hope and Compassion Play in the Criminal Justice System?
    The Monument Fellowship HUMANE JUSTICE What role do kindness, hope and compassion play in the criminal justice system? Edited by LISA ROWLES & IMAN HAJI “Kindness has a vital role to play in our society, and none more so than in our prison system. For those who have failed to live a normal law-abiding life, we need kindness to be at the forefront of their prison experience. Kindness from prison officers, nurses, probation officers and fellow inmates will help produce the fellow citizen who embraces society, not fights against it. As this book clearly demonstrates, the kinder a prison system is, the more successful it will be.” James Timpson. Chief Executive, Timpson Group “The Monument Fellowship has assembled a fascinating and varied array of perspectives from informed contributors on the role of compassion and kindness in addressing injustice. Covid-19 has shone a spotlight on many of these injustices and this collection provides a positive, evidence based and hopeful road map for how we can move forwards.” Frances Mapstone, acting CEO of Just for Kids Law “This book, with its focus on the role of kindness, hope and compassion within the criminal justice system, is set to be a wonderful portfolio of optimism, insight and expertise. It enables an amplification of the voices of those most affected by it – the people subject to its rules and restrictions, the people responsible for their care, and those with an interest in its reform and effectiveness. Through its broad diversity of contributors and media, the book is sure to demonstrate that a bright light exists in the dark corners of our society.
