From the editor

Dear Law Society members,

I hope that everyone has had a great Michaelmas term, and that you are all enjoying the vacation so far! I’m delighted to present you with this term’s issue of the Verdict. I’ve very much enjoyed reading the responses to the essay question, as well as conducting some enlightening interviews, which I hope you will find useful. I would also like to thank David, Nia, Louis, Katie, and all of the general committee for providing such an incredible Michaelmas term for us all to enjoy!
