Law According To Kings... My Story From Student To Soon-To-Be Solicitor

What I think drove me to the law is the idea that I can help people. I grew up watching people on TV be scared and alone, and then a lawyer would turn up and fight for them. I wanted to be that lawyer - I wanted to help people. It sounds dumb, but honestly the idea of becoming a lawyer first came into my head when I watched Ally McBeal . Seeing someone be funny and honest and flawed while being able to put on that suit, head into the courtroom, and kick some ass. I told the partner that at my first vacation scheme interview for a corporate law firm, and he laughed and said that maybe there will be less dancing in the toilets in their office than there is in Ally McBeal. I smiled back, and replied there would be less dancing until I arrived.  The law can be an immensely powerful thing - of course, I'm biased. We all see the world through the lenses we choose, but it is undeniable the impact that the law and lawyers have had on the world. We might not have started the journeys, but s...

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.

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 ...
