Cleaver: R.B. Somerset, first Censor of Non-Collegiate Students The new Middle Combination Room 1 Fitzwilliam Journal the master’s letter It is convention for the Journal to summarise the past academic year but, having arrived at Fitzwilliam on 1 October, I would like to comment instead on my first term as Master. It has been a busy one and I can confirm Martin Bond what I was told in advance of my arrival – Fitzwilliam is indeed a special and welcoming College. I’ve been very impressed by the lively engagement of all of our members: current students, alumni, staff, and Fellows. The College has a diverse make-up and I think we derive a significant mutual benefit from having a wide range of people from all sorts of different backgrounds and geographies involved in our academic and community life. The map showing the home locations of this year’s cohort of new undergraduates demonstrates our reach around the UK, and is good to see. We have been joined this term by Research Fellow Dr Cléo Chassonnery- Zaïgouche and new Fellows Professor Giles Oldroyd, Professor Srinivasan Keshav, Dr Jean-Michel Johnston, Ms Stevie Martin, Dr Pedro Mendes Loureiro, Dr Christelle Abadie, Dr Sarah Kolopp, Dr Olenka Pevny and Dr Céline Vidal. Michaelmas Term has seen a range of excellent events that reflect this diversity and I have been particularly invigorated by some of the lectures and talks I have attended. A highlight for me was this year’s Foundation Lecture, delivered in November by Fitzwilliam College Fellow, Graduate Tutor and Director of Studies in Geography, Professor Bhaskar Vira. In a talk that ranged from the Fens to the Himalayas, Bhaskar shared his thoughts about the difficult choices that come with balancing the needs of humans and nature on a local and global level. In October there were flash talks by Fitzwilliam PhD students. These six-minute presentations from 11 current postgraduates ranged from semiconductor physics to Polar studies and the modern politics of West Bengal to brain science. The enthusiasm, intellect, and potential impact was thought-provoking and infectious; a great advert for Fitzwilliam’s large postgraduate cohort. Similarly, the Fellows’ Lecture Evening (an event we hold each term) featured presentations from two of our five Research Fellows: Dr Cora Uhlemann, whose research is in the field of Cosmology, and Dr Benedict Wiedemann, who is a Medieval Historian – again providing an evening that was stimulating and fun. The College motto ex antiquis et novissimis optima – the best of the old and the new – holds true. While we are firmly rooted in our values and our history, the College is moving forward. Fitzwilliam students flourish, achieving strong academic results. A total of 126 undergraduates were awarded Firsts this last summer – a record amount. 73% of our home Freshers are from state schools and 16% come from areas shown to be very deprived (according to the Multiple Index of Deprivation). Fitzwilliam is at the forefront of delivering on the University’s drive to widen access and, as the above statistics demonstrate, our commitment to widening participation goes hand in hand with academic success. We are also celebrating one of the highest-ever number of first-choice applications this year. We are confident that we can continue to encourage applications from a variety of backgrounds, accept a broad Where did first-year UK undergraduates come from in 2019? 2019 2 Martin Bond The Vice-Chancellor addresses the Access and Widening Participation Conference (p.7) group of students and help them succeed. There is more to do, of course, but this is a shared ambition at the College on which we make steady progress. I have been very impressed by the way that our Martin Bond undergraduate and postgraduate students thrive and take advantage of the array of wider opportunities available to them in College and throughout the University. This means that, although undeniably they work hard, they also make time to enjoy themselves and develop hugely. Whether through music or sport, drama or debating there are many students involved in driving for excellence or enjoying new activities. (I gather mixed netball can get a bit rough!) Michaelmas term also brings the 2018–2019 audited accounts, and we have had a successful year and are confident about the future of Fitzwilliam as we enter a new decade. Inevitably there are challenges ahead, including raising funds to refurbish student accommodation, investment in IT, and the provision of wider support services. These College financial pressures The Master at the Access and Widening Participation Conference need to be seen against a continuing backdrop of economic and political uncertainty.

    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.

Through the activities of the Appeal we have been able to establish a number of new activities.
