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. -
HISTORIC LIBRARIES FORUM BULLETIN NO. 27 February 2014
HISTORIC LIBRARIES FORUM BULLETIN NO. 27 February 2014 November’s annual conference on guarding against the dispersal of collections was a great success, with very positive feedback from attendees. You will find a detailed write-up of it in this Bulletin. The committee has begun the process of deciding on a conference theme for this year, which will be based on feedback we have received, so if you weren’t at the conference and there is a particular workshop or conference topic you are interested in, please do let us know. We have a busy year coming up. A workshop on conservation (specifically, improving communication between conservators and librarians) organised jointly with ARLIS and ICON was held in January, with a write up to follow in the next Bulletin. Several workshops are in the planning process at the moment, including rare books cataloguing, identifying prints and conservation. Keep an eye out for emails from the HLF to find out when booking opens as our workshops tend to be fully booked very quickly. As ever, libraries in danger have been in the news recently. We had a letter published in the Church Times and wrote to the Bible Society to protest about the proposed sale of the Codex Zacynthius, a 6th or 7th century Bible manuscript. Cambridge University Library needs to raise the £1.1 million necessary to purchase it by the end of February 2014, otherwise there is a very real risk that it could leave the country and/or end up in private ownership. Further details of the campaign are available on their website: http://www.cam.ac.uk/research/news/cambridge-university-library-bids-to-purchase-early- gospel-manuscript Earlier in January we were very concerned to learn of the proposed closure of the British Library Preservation Advice Centre (BLPAC), which I’m sure many HLF members have found an invaluable source of help and advice. -
1 the Public Life of a Twentieth Century Princess Princess Mary Princess Royal and Countess of Harewood Wendy Marion Tebble
View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by SAS-SPACE 1 The Public Life of a Twentieth Century Princess Princess Mary Princess Royal and Countess of Harewood Wendy Marion Tebble, Institute of Historical Research Thesis submitted for Degree of Master of Philosophy, 2018 2 Table of Contents Abstract 3 Acknowledgements 5 Abbreviations 7 Acronyms 8 Chapters 9 Conclusion 136 Bibliography 155 3 Abstract The histiography on Princess Mary is conspicuous by its absence. No official account of her long public life, from 1914 to 1965, has been written and published since 1922, when the princess was aged twenty-five, and about to be married. The only daughter of King George V, she was one of the chief protagonists in his plans to include his children in his efforts to engage the monarchy, and the royal family, more deeply and closely with the people of the United Kingdom. This was a time when women were striving to enter public life more fully, a role hitherto denied to them. The king’s decision was largely prompted by the sacrifices of so many during the First World War; the fall of Czar Nicholas of Russia; the growth of socialism; and the dangers these events may present to the longevity of the monarchy in a disaffected kingdom. Princess Mary’s public life helps to answer the question of what role royal women, then and in the future, are able to play in support of the monarchy. It was a time when for the most part careers of any kind were not open to women, royal or otherwise, and the majority had yet to gain the right to vote. -
