    On Monday, I gave my Inaugural Lecture as a Professor at King’s, to a generous audience of family, friends, professionals and the members of the public. A very special occasion and a career highlight. Thanks to all who came! (And thanks to our photographer Dominic!)

    Tonight is Jeremy Paxman’s last episode of #UniversityChallenge. He was unfailingly kind &respectful of contestants behind the scenes on the show. He has since done important work raising awareness @ParkinsonsUK, a cause close to my heart. So much gratitude & respect due to him.

    'when Lord Denning was Master of the Rolls, [an enterprising student] wrote to the Editor of The Times. His letter read: "Sir, I should esteem it a personal favour if Lord Denning would refrain from making any further changes in the law until after I have sat my finals."'

    Rachel Riley wins in the Court of Appeal in the latest round of her defamation claim. Important points about the defence of truth and the significance of nuance (even on twitter) and ambiguity in statements. caselaw.nationalarchives.gov.uk/ewca/civ/2022/…
