From the editor

Dear Members,

I am really excited to present to you this term’s issue of Verdict magazine. In this term’s edition we have aimed to provide a mixture of different articles to be both informative and engaging in equal measure. Special thanks must go to our guest writer Professor Andrew Dickinson for his interesting feature article discussing the importance of private rights. We hope that our commercial awareness section will prove a useful starting point for members considering a career in law, and interesting reading nonetheless for those members who are not!

Thanks also goes to all of the law firms who have contributed to and sponsored Verdict, to my Deputy Editor, Helena for her constant willingness to help and also to all of our outgoing executive committee, in particular, Nick for all of his guidance and support.

Happy reading!
