    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.

  • From the JCR
    From the JCR Issy Stephens, a Chemistry student in her third year at St John’s and a member of the Steering Group, gives an update on how the JCR has been championing women’s issues 40 years ago the first handful of women joined the Junior Common Room of St John's College. Following those trailblazers that entered a man's world, a lot has changed for the life of women in the JCR. We now have a designated Women’s Officer who makes sure that life is no more expensive for women at St John's than it is for men. This includes providing free monthly bags of sanitary products and reimbursements for pregnancy tests. Environmental issues are important to the student body of St John’s, so all sanitary products are organic. The Women’s Officer also organises fortnightly women's lunches, and a recent JCR motion has made all free lunches in college vegetarian to minimise our impact on the planet. The catering team have really responded to this and the variety of vegan and vegetarian meals has increased exponentially. There are, of course, men's lunches too! On 21st February many members of the JCR attended the annual Women's Dinner, which celebrates all the women of St John’s. It was a special event with an incredible atmosphere with different women from all walks of life coming together. In sport, our women's teams have gone from strength to strength. The last time St John's women's football team was seen in the Cuppers final was 2008.

  • Hawks, Ospreys and Students Union Unite for Sport
    EASTER 2009 Hawks, Ospreys and Students Union unite for Sport Tom Chigbo, President of CUSU 2009-10, writes:: 800 Years With No Sports Centre Reading recent editions of The Hawk evokes conflicting emotions. First, pride. It serves as a fine reminder of the excellent sporting tradition of Cambridge University. From the famous names who continue to compete at the highest level, to the thousands of students, coaches and volunteers who ensure that quality sport is played every day at University, College and recreational level in Cambridge. Nevertheless, as readers of this newsletter, you will be more than familiar with the urgent need for a University Sports Centre. Indeed, it is probably a source of great disappointment, as for years you have seen this noble ambition met with so many false starts. After all, land and planning permission (which has since been renewed) were acquired in West Cambridge back in 1999. Fully-costed designs and specifications along with a budget for the running costs (the sports centre can be self funding) already exist. Some of you may even recall the McCrum report of 1973, which originally highlighted the need for centralised University sports facilities. In fact, further research has shown that even our Victorian predecessors had identified this necessity, shown in an article in the Cambridge Review of 1892. However, time has not proved to be a great healer. The absolute necessity of a University sports centre has not Proposed Sports Centre, Perspective sketches diminished over the years. Instead, it continues to grow. It grows each year with the rising cost of pool hire, now so great that the Swimming and Water Polo Club cannot afford a coach.
