I attended hearings at all levels, from the Magistrates’ Court and the Employment Tribunal to the Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court. Traineeship is demanding and standards are high, but by the end of the year I realised how much I had learnt and developed as a lawyer, by having had the opportunity to work alongside barristers who are experts in their fields. I worked on a range of cases and drafted pleadings and advices, receiving regular feedback. “The atmosphere at Matrix is friendly and informal, and I was treated as a colleague from day one.” I also had a number of training sessions from members on specific practice areas, which was a great way of learning some practical tips. I was grateful for the opportunity to have three full seats of training before starting my own cases in my final seat. This gave me the support of my final supervisor as I made the transition to becoming a full member. The atmosphere at Matrix is friendly and informal, and I was treated as a colleague from day one. I was always encouraged to express my EMMA FOUBISTER opinions and contribute to discussions with other members. There is a great support network and I had regular meetings with a mentor throughout the year. A number of exciting opportunities were available to me, from writing for the UKSC blog and Inforrm, to spending a week with the legal team of a national newspaper. Trainees are encouraged to attend as many events as possible, ranging from interesting panel debates to drinks parties. Not only did this enable me to meet solicitors and keep abreast of new legal developments, it was a great way to get to know other members and the staff team. Emma Foubister was the 2017-2018 trainee at Matrix. She became a full Matrix member in 2018. 4 LIFE AS A TRAINEE Matrix is an incredibly friendly and supportive organisation, which is made up of exceptional lawyers who are supported by an excellent practice team and staff. I have thoroughly enjoyed my traineeship and feel privileged to have had the opportunity to be a trainee at Matrix. As a trainee, I was fortunate to have exposure to a number of interesting and important cases in a variety of practice areas, from proceedings before the EAT and the Court of Appeal to urgent applications for interim relief in judicial review proceedings. I attended hearings at all levels and in a number of forums, from the County Court and Employment Tribunal to the High Court, Competition Appeal Tribunal and Court of Appeal. “I was always invited to express my opinions and contribute to discussions with other members.” While traineeship is demanding and expectations are high, I genuinely enjoyed the challenge and feel grateful to have had the opportunity to work alongside and learn from barristers who are experts in their fields. I worked on a range of cases in a number of practice areas and completed a variety of tasks, ranging from drafting pleadings and advices, to preparing cross examination and reviewing witness evidence. My supervisors were incredibly ROISIN SWORDS-KIELEY supportive and offered regular and constructive feedback, which enabled me to improve and develop as lawyer. I also had a number of training sessions from members on specific practice areas; these were really useful and provided both practical tips and insight into areas of law that I had not yet been exposed to. More generally, over Thursday lunch or at other internal events, I was always invited to express my opinions and contribute to discussions with other members. I was encouraged to attend a number of networking and educational events both in person and (in light of the global pandemic) remotely. I particularly enjoyed attending the annual SEN law conference and chairing a webinar on ‘Covid-19, the law and trade unions’. Roisin Swords-Kieley was the 2019-2020 trainee at Matrix. She became a full Matrix member in 2020. 5 APPLICATION PROCEDURE Matrix has opted out of the Pupillage Gateway cases it is possible to apply for an extension, system and instead uses an application form provided that the total period of sponsorship for traineeship.

    RESEARCH PAPER 08/52 Counter-Terrorism Bill 5 JUNE 2008 Committee Stage Report Bill 100 of 2007-8 This is a report on the Committee Stage of the Counter-Terrorism Bill, Bill 63 of 2007-08. The Bill as amended in Committee and published for the Report Stage is Bill 100 of 2007-08. This report has been produced in response to a recommendation of the Modernisation Committee in its report on The Legislative Process (HC 1097, 2005-06). The Counter-Terrorism Bill covers a wide range of topics; however, the most contentious have proved to be proposals in relation to pre-charge detention, post charge questioning and inquests and inquiries. The Bill Committee took evidence from a number of witnesses prior to debate, primarily on these issues. It held 14 sittings between 22 April and 15 May 2008. Remaining Stages are to be on 10-11 June 2008.

    MIND THE GAP Private Power, Online Information Flows and EU Law Angela Daly Thesis submitted for assessment with a view to obtaining the degree of Doctor of Laws of the European University Institute Florence, February 2015 (submission) European University Institute Department of Law Mind the Gap: Private Power, Online Information Flows and EU Law V Angela Daly Thesis submitted for assessment with a view to obtaining the degree of Doctor of Laws of the European University Institute Examining Board Professor Giorgio Monti, European University Institute (EUI Supervisor) Professor Giovanni Sartor, European University Institute Professor Lilian Edwards, University of Strathclyde Professor Chris Marsden, University of Sussex © Angela Daly, 2015 No part of this thesis may be copied, reproduced or transmitted without prior permission of the author SUMMARY This thesis examines how European Union law and regulation address concentrations of private economic power which impede free information flows on the Internet to the detriment of Internet users’ autonomy. In particular, competition law, sector specific regulation (if it exists), data protection and human rights law are considered and assessed to the extent they can tackle such concentrations of power for the benefit of users. Illustrative case studies - of Internet provision, search, mobile devices and app stores, and the cloud – are chosen to demonstrate the gaps that exist in current EU law and regulation when applied to concentrations of private power online. It is argued that these gaps exist due, in part, to current overarching trends guiding the regulation of economic power, namely neoliberalism, by which only the situation of market failures can invite ex ante rules, buoyed by the lobbying of regulators and legislators by those in possession of such economic power to achieve outcomes which favour their businesses.

It is my privilege, together with the Hart and the wider Bloomsbury team, to take the list forward and build on his rich legacy. I am very grateful for the warm and generous welcome which has been extended to me by Hart authors and I very much look forward to working with you in the future. Hart authors’ great tradition of prize winning scholarship continued unabated in 2014. In particular, I am delighted to congratulate James Goudkamp, author of Tort Law Defences and Jure Vidmar, author of Democratic Statehood in International Law who were awarded the 2014 SLS Peter Birks Prize for Outstanding Legal Scholarship (Joint Second Prize). Warm congratulations also go to Brian Sloan: his title Informal Carers and Private Law was awarded the University of Cambridge’s Yorke Prize.

  • Immediation II
    Immediation II Edited by Erin Manning, Anna Munster, Bodil Marie Stavning Thomsen Immediation II Immediations Series Editor: SenseLab “Philosophy begins in wonder. And, at the end, when philosophic thought has done its best, the wonder remains” – A.N. Whitehead The aim of the Immediations book series is to prolong the wonder sustaining philosophic thought into transdisciplinary encounters. Its premise is that concepts are for the enacting: they must be experienced. Thought is lived, else it expires. It is most intensely lived at the crossroads of practices, and in the in-between of individuals and their singular endeavors: enlivened in the weave of a relational fabric. Co-composition. “The smile spreads over the face, as the face fits itself onto the smile” – A. N. Whitehead Which practices enter into co-composition will be left an open question, to be answered by the Series authors. Art practice, aesthetic theory, political theory, movement practice, media theory, maker culture, science studies, architecture, philosophy … the range is free. We invite you to roam it.

  • Communications Privacy and Surveillance: References Winter
    Communications Privacy and Surveillance: References Winter Semester 2013-14 / Summer Semester 2014 Version 13 2014-03-04 New in this Version: • New material 1st February - 4rd March • Reason for a new version: important policy statement by UK Deputy PM New in the 11th & 12th Versions • New material 16th January – 3rd March 2014 This document constitutes a commented list of some articles, mainly from the Guardian and the New York Times, about the NSA and GCHQ surveillance of digital communications revealed by Edward Snowden, as well as some original source documents and other material. I am assembling it for the Communications Privacy and Surveillance seminar I am holding at the University of Bielefeld. Bruce Schneier's Crypto-Gram newsletter has a more complete list of articles from all over, although all of the Guardian articles he lists appear here. Bruce has worked with the journlaist Glenn Greenwald and the Guardian; he has seen substantial amounts of the material from Edward Snowden's document cache. As far as I know, he is the only digital-security professional not associated with the NSA or GCHQ who has seen the Snowden material. The material Bruce Schneier has published on the matter in his monthly newsletter is substantial and takes some time to read and I do recommend that readers of this document also read Schneier. Crypto-Gram contains many technical articles atttempting to assess the exact functioning and the likely effects of various named NSA and GCHQ programs. Its links offer a more diverse commentary that this document; however, there are references here which do not appear there, although I do not claim to be anywhere near complete on the stories.
