In light of the Derek Chauvin trial and the plight of the #BlackLivesMatter movement, this dissertation on the effect of race and gender on jury selection and decisions seems to be more pertinent than ever.

The CHIS Bill, which was introduced to the House of Commons on 24th September 2020, seeks to amend the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000 to allow undercover agents to commit what would currently amount to criminal offences in the course of their duties. This Bill would therefore put such conduct on statutory footing, which had arguably been upheld previously by the Investigatory Powers Tribunal in December 2019.

Many student businesses often start out with the use of personal funds, or with financial support from family and friends, though this is not always possible nor practical.
