Started your Christmas shopping yet? The paperback version of Law and the Medieval Village Community is now available to pre order, out at the end of November. The perfect stocking filler at a much lower price point than the hardback.

It's time for one of my regular reminders that I have books that are waiting to be reviewed for the Conveyancer and Property Lawyer. In particular, I have texts on:
📚 General Property Law
🚜 Agricultural Law
🏗️ Construction
📜 Property x Human Rights
Book reviews are short (1,5k words), and a nice way to get a free book, especially if it's something you would read anyway. They can be a good way for PhD students/people not familiar with publishing to get a feel for publication process. If interested, email me: [email protected].

It was great fun recording this just before Christmas with Martin Dixon, Lorna Fox O’Mahony and @loreldridge ! Plenty of debate about the 1925 property legislation regime.

📚 It's that regular call for persons interested in writing for the Conveyancer Book Reviews section 📚
This time, particularly reviewers interested in construction; and trusts.
Reviews for Conv are short, and we publish 4 times a with fairly flexible deadlines (within reason).

Book Reviews can be a good way for PhD students or ECRs to get publication experience and raise their profiles, or for practitioners to engage with academia.
If that sounds fun, please drop me an email ([email protected]) letting me know what your areas of interest are.
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.
I argue based on the archival materials relating to 1925 that the drafting intention was not to break with the Statute of Frauds, but also that the drafters’ understanding of agency - which bears on this case - was a bit different to what has been thought so far.
Pleased to have my hard copy 'Epidemics and the Law from Plague to the Present' - I'm "plague"! My first pub on contract law, involves old school doctrinal #legalhistory, statutory interpretation (what can I say: I like what I like), and a little modern law twist in the middle.
Deadline extended to 1 Nov.
Please share with UGs interested in #legalhistory or #womeninlaw. Don't have to be studying legal history, topic is open.
Chance to connect with @SeldensSister, who also run PG mentoring scheme.
