Until Proven Guilty... Prisoner Disenfranchisement in the UK by Mihika Chopra

"I'm an A-level student studying English Literature, History, and Government and Politics, currently serving as Deputy Head Girl of Herschel Grammar School, and a Co-Founder of the Herschel Law Society. I hope to study Law at university and pursue a career in the legal industry. I love to read - currently reading "The Idiot" by Fyodor Dostoevsky"." The question raised about felon disenfranchisement also inevitably raises the question as to whether the prison system should be more about rehabilitation, or punishment; something which must also be considered when contemplating this predicament. Convicted persons, during the time that they are detained in a penal institution, are legally incapable of voting at any parliamentary or local government election . One presumes this to be completely preposterous because prisoners, even those who serve the average life sentence, will eventually be released into society, and will be expected to become productive citizen...

Shrek Out My Swamp... A Look At Shrek's Legal Rights On His Land

We all know the plot of the first Shrek  movie: Lord Farquaad rounds up the land's fairytale creatures and dumps them in Shrek's swamp, leading the ogre to rescue a princess to get his land back, but what if there was an easier way than enduring blistering winds and scorching deserts, climbing to the highest room of the tallest tower, fighting a dragon, and trekking across the country with a talking donkey and a were-ogre princess in tow? What if, for argument's sake, Shrek visited his local lawyer? In England, where we shall assume the plot takes place (thanks to the accent of Lord Farquaad), all land is legally owned by the Crown, but it is safe to assume that Shrek owns his land in a freehold - technically a 'fee simple absolute in possession'. What does this mean exactly? 'Fee' means that the swamp is inheritable, 'simple' means it can be possessed by anyone, not just lineal descendants, 'absolute' means that there are no conditions on ...

Not Getting Over The Hill... A Criticism Of The Yorkshire Ripper Tort Case

Hill v Chief Constable of West Yorkshire [1988] 1 AC 53 was a landmark case in establishing limits on third party liability for tortious negligence. The estate of Hill, the final victim of Peter Sutcliffe (better known as the Yorkshire Ripper), sued the Chief Constable of West Yorkshire police, claiming that their failure to apprehend the killer sooner negligently caused her death. Anyone with some knowledge of the Yorkshire Ripper case is aware of the disastrous investigation led by the police, which failed time-and-time-again to catch Sutcliffe, who they had interviewed nine times in connection with the murders. The 1982 Byford report heavily criticised the police for what was, at the time, the largest manhunt in British history – they had focussed too heavily on hoax confessional tapes and letters (against the advice of experts and victims alike) and their poor filing system meant that officers were left underprepared and key connections were not made linking evidence to Sutcl...
