‘While the Profumo affair took place just over 50 years ago, it never seems to have left the public arena for very long. This month sees a new Andrew Lloyd Webber musical open to tell the story of Stephen Ward, the man who “pimped” Christine Keeler, the call girl at the centre of the affair. It is also the fiftieth anniversary of the publication of The Denning Report into the British political scandal and an apt time to reflect on what the report teaches us about public inquiries and the atmosphere of the time.’

‘Law is everywhere providing answers to almost everything. Ever larger numbers of students want to be part of the legal mechanisms that control us, regulate us and take over from politicians when politicians sense their own incapability. It is almost a new religion. In this lecture – and in the discussion to follow – some of the issues dealt with in earlier years by Professor Bogdanor (such as in his lectures, Judges or Legislators: Who Should Rule?, The Judges and the Constitution and The Human Rights Act: Cornerstone of a New Constitution) will be reviewed as will the effect of Europe on our law.’

‘I don’t really know what to think about the outcome of the Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal (SDT) hearing into the case of Alistair Brett, the former legal manager of The Times. Here was a man plainly admired by many in the media law world. Many watched with spine-tingling horror as his reputation disintegrated under cross-examination at the Leveson inquiry (you can still watch it online). But for that, he may well have escaped prosecution, let alone censure. It is a rare day that sees someone’s litigation tactics scrutinised under cross-examination by a QC and a Court of Appeal judge.’
