Proofs proofs proofs proofs! Produced at high speed to get in there between the Court of Appeal judgment and the UKSC hearing in NIOC v Crescent Gas, my article on the drafting history of s53(1)(b) of the LPA 1925 will be out in the Conveyancer shortly.

Pleased to have the hard copy of 'Epidemics and the Law from Plague to Present' - I'm "plague"! My first publication on contract law, and involves some old school doctrinal #legalhistory, statutory interpretation (what can I say: I like what I like), and a little modern law twist in the middle.

Wrapping up UG teaching for my 1st Cambridge year today, and what an insanely busy one. Teaching across 3 UG papers, LLM students, and PhD projects. Queens' has felt like home fast, and next year looks great: September kicks off with the 1925 Property Conference (and our wedding at Queens'!).

Tomorrow 7pm UK time, Matthew Dyson, Ashley Hannay and I are speaking about teaching legal history in England and Wales. The chapter we've written for an upcoming comparative volume involved empirical research across English/Welsh law schools, and reflects on future directions for the discipline.

Enjoy land law? Want to hear me wax lyrical about how great Benjamin Cherry was, and how he drafted the LPA 1925 and its sibling statutes? There will be archives, intense political bargaining, and hot takes from Edwardian lawyers. Cambridge 20 May (hybrid) Oxford 27 May (in person)

Another week, another proof. My piece on The Statute of Labourers and Contract Law, in 'Epidemics and the Law from Plague to Present' is a bit of old-school doctrinal medieval legal history. But, of course, it's me, so it has a cheeky twist... Out Sept 2025. www.bloomsbury.com/uk/epidemics...

We're almost finished putting together the first Selden's Sister book - and Celebrating Women in Legal History (Hart) is looking gorgeous. We can't wait to share the range of creative, fascinating, and unexpected chapters in the volume with the #legalhistory community.

I'm sure I've told you before to keep that filth to yourself.

It's 2025, you know what that means? That's right, it means the most interesting statute in #landlaw is 100 years old! This year will have a veritable feast of 1925 events, talks, seminars, including ours in Cambridge in Sept, celebrating 100 years of property law reform.

We had an excellent #legalhistory event for Selden's Sister's first annual lecture yesterday, and really enjoyed seeing such a wide range of people asking Lady Hale such a varied set of questions in the Q&A. Find out more about us at www.seldenssister.com

Today is the Selden's Sister women in legal history networking event, which I am missing out on due to the general collapse of late stage capitalism. It's going to be a great day (even without me...).

Quick job this morning doing the proofs of my review of the new edition of Great Debates in Land Law, which will be out in the next Conveyancer shortly. The summary version is I loved it for saying so many of the quiet parts out loud.
