  • The Leicestershire Law Society 1860 to 2017
    The Leicestershire Law Society 1860 to 2017 Law The Leicestershire Professor David Hughes intended when young to pursue a career in the Law, and to that The Leicestershire end he undertook his undergraduate studies at the University of Liverpool between 1964 and 1967. Vacation placements with solicitors in his home town of Dudley, however, convinced him that, not having the ability to suffer fools gladly, he was not suited to be a practitioner, and on the advice of his family solicitor he pursued further academic study at Law Society Emmanuel College, Cambridge as a postgraduate student. (His wife, herself a solicitor of over thirty years standing and a former President of the Leicestershire Law Society concurs that his decision not to practise was the correct one--” He would have been awful with 1860 to 2017 clients, and would have shouted at anyone who did not follow his advice!”) In 1969 he was appointed to a lectureship in the then very new Law Department of Leicester A local portrait University, and went on there to develop research interests in the Law relating to Housing, Town and Country Planning and the Environment. He authored many books,including the first textbook on Environmental Law, and other monographs on issues as diverse as complaints procedures for housing organisations, and the inability of the Law to control the seemingly inexorable rise of the giant supermarket chains. He also collaborated in interdisciplinary studies with colleagues in the areas of housing, planning and atmospheric pollution. For many years a consultant to the erstwhile National Housing and Town Planning Council, he became involved with drawing up the first set of national standards for the operation of owner occupied retirement housing in the 1980’s, working there with the National Housebuilders’ Federation, and later worked on standards for the operation of waste disposal sites with the former Department of the Environment.
