  • Fighting Economic Crime - a Shared Responsibility!
    THIRTY-SEVENTH INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON ECONOMIC CRIME SUNDAY 1st SEPTEMBER - SUNDAY 8th SEPTEMBER 2019 JESUS COLLEGE, UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE Fighting economic crime - a shared responsibility! Centre of Development Studies The 37th Cambridge International Symposium on Economic Crime Fighting economic crime- a shared responsibility! The thirty-seventh international symposium on economic crime brings together, from across the globe, a unique level and depth of expertise to address one of the biggest threats facing the stability and development of all our economies. The overarching theme for the symposium is how we can better and more effectively work together in preventing, managing and combating the threat posed by economically motivated crime and abuse. The programme underlines that this is not just the responsibility of the authorities, but us all. These important and timely issues are considered in a practical, applied and relevant manner, by those who have real experience whether in law enforcement, regulation, compliance or simply protecting their own or another’s business. The symposium, albeit held in one of the world’s leading universities, is not a talking shop for those with vested interests or for that matter an academic gathering. We strive to offer a rich and deep analysis of the real issues and in particular threats to our institutions and economies presented by economic crime and abuse. Well over 700 experts from around the world will share their experience and knowledge with other participants drawn from policy makers, law enforcement, compliance, regulation, business and the professions. The programme is drawn up with the support of a number of agencies and organisations across the globe and the Organising Institutions and principal sponsors greatly value this international commitment.

  • Response Rate Was 81.98%; Very Good, and Near the Record of 85.4% (Section 3);
    SLS/BIALL Academic Law Library Survey 2013/2014 David Gee Deputy Librarian Institute of Advanced Legal Studies, School of Advanced Study, University of London By-line This is the latest report analysing the results of the Society of Legal Scholars and BIALL Survey. It has been written by David Gee, Deputy Librarian at the Institute of Advanced Legal Studies, School of Advanced Study, University of London Summary of key findings The response rate was 81.98%; very good, and near the record of 85.4% (section 3); There was a marked increase again in new universities enrolling PhD and MPhil students (section 5); 22% of respondents failed to meet the SLS Statement of Standards 3.1 on space and physical facilities, through not housing all relevant collections in one place (section 6); The ratio of students to seats continued to worsen to its least favourable since statistics were first collected in the 1990s, with a median of 6.42 students to every seat in study areas by the law collection and a mean of 9.07 students per seat. Some respondents noted the difficulty of accurately identifying such seating where the law collection is just one of many collections or activity areas on a particular floor of the library building (section 7); On the other hand, the ratio of students to PC workstations located adjacent to the law collections and in the law school has improved, although some respondents noted difficulties when trying to identify accurately the number of PC workstations earmarked specifically for the use of law students (section 8); WiFi access was almost universally available within libraries in general, but less frequently available in the law collection itself (section 8); 24% of respondents reported an increase in the number of visits to the law library; 64% said numbers were constant and 12% reported a fall (section 9); The results for term-time weekday opening indicate that there has been a significant increase in the number of libraries open for longer and a marked increase in the number of libraries opening for more than 100 hours per week.

    314 Amicus Curiae, Series 2, Vol 2, No 3, 314-333 BLACKSTONE’S TOWER IN CONTEXT FIONA COWNIE School of Law, Keele University, & Institute of Advanced Legal Studies, School of Advanced Study, London University EMMA JONES School of Law, University of Sheffield Abstract This article contextualizes the contribution of Blackstone’s Tower within the discipline of law, arguing that its publication was both significant and radical at a time when research into legal education was much less well-developed within the legal academy than it is today. Twining’s approach, acting as a ‘tour guide’, was also important in a period when the ‘private life’ of the English university law school was virtually unexamined. This article also highlights the ways in which the other contributions to this special edition demonstrate the continuities and changes that have occurred within legal education since Blackstone’s Tower was published. Keywords: legal education. law schools; legal scholarship; legal research; William Twining. [A] THE CONTEMPORARY CONTEXT hen William Twining delivered the Hamlyn Lectures in 1994, Wunder the title ‘Blackstone’s Tower: the English Law School’, it was an event which not only reflected his own eminence as a scholar, but one which held considerable significance for the sub-discipline of legal education. The prestigious Hamlyn lectures, of which Professor Twining’s was the 46th series, were established in 1948 to fulfil the terms of the Hamlyn Trust, created by Miss Emma Hamlyn in memory of her father, a solicitor in Torquay. Essentially, the objectives of the Trust are to further the knowledge of the general public about the law of the UK and other European countries.

  • RED Letter the Newsletter of the Reading Experience Database
    RED Letter The Newsletter of the Reading Experience Database SPRING 2007 Edited by Rosalind Crone and Katie Halsey The last few months have been busy ones at the RED nerve centre in the IT department at the Open University. Earlier this year, we were joined by three new members of the RED team: two Research Associates, Jenny McAuley and Sarah Johnson, and a data input assistant, Isabel DiVanna, who are all doing excellent work finding and entering reading experiences. Thanks to David Wong, our technical developer, our new online form is up and running, and getting lots of use, and an experimental version of our search functions has been built. We are grateful to all of you who have been using the online form to enter reading experiences, and thanks also for your feedback on it. Our trial online launch is now also complete, and we are indebted to all those who took the time to try out our search functions and complete our user feedback form. Feedback was in general positive and enthusiastic, and we will make every effort to act on your suggestions for improvements to our current version when it goes fully live in June this year. But the Reading Experience Database is not, and never will be, only about technology. It is, of course, also about the people whose enthusiasm for the project makes it possible. At the heart of the project is the individual reading experience, and we are, as always, extremely grateful to all our volunteers who have been busily entering a wide range of fascinating material, from the reading experiences of heavyweight Victorians such as John Ruskin, Thomas Carlyle and Charles Dickens to descriptions of the reading of more humble cobblers, butchers and printers.

  • Development of a Learning Model for Large Class Cohorts to Strengthen Students Learning Outcomes Based on Differentiated Instruction
    Development of a learning model for large class cohorts to strengthen students learning outcomes based on differentiated instruction 1,^Siva PR Muppala and 2Chandramohan Balasubramanyam School of Engineering and the Environment, Kingston University London Friars Avenue, Roehampton Vale, London, SW15 3DW, United Kingdom 2Institute of Commonwealth Studies School of Advanced Study University of London Senate House, Malet St, Bloomsbury, London WC1E 7HU Abstract We propose a new sequential numeral-division-based approach to classroom learning. It takes into roots from the concept of trichotomy – division of students based on creamy-level, middle- level and weaker-level students, proposed by the present authors. A sequenced series of formative assessments can map student progress and achievement, particularly in the case of weaker students. The idea behind the development of this model is to study if weak students perform better on critical-thinking tests in a collaborative learning setting rather than when they study individually. We propose a mathematical model to measure group activity/achievement, which is a complex function of several parameters. We collect data on different parameters for validation of the model and hope to publish the findings in 2020-21. Keywords: numerical learning model, measurement/quantification of learning, formative assessment, large class cohorts, weaker students, group learning Introduction & Literature This study proposes a new sequential numeral-division-based approach. The concept of this classification (division and classification are used interchangeably) of the students based on their learning levels/abilities is presented in a very recent paper by the present authors [1]. This approach is targeted at large class cohorts because the division is more evident.
