The Inforrm winter break comes to an end today. The Hilary Legal Term begins tomorrow and we will resume our usual weekly “Law and Media Round Up” followed shortly by a preview of the new legal term.
We had a record number of visitors and page vieews in 2014 on the usual wide range of media and legal subjects. In the course of the year we passed 2.5 million page views and 4,000 followers on Twitter and WordPress. Thank you once again to all our contributors and readers in England and around the world.
Our Table of Media Law Cases sets out to provide a comprehensive list of cases (and case comments). The Table of Forthcoming cases has been recently updated. Please let us know if we have missed anything in either table.
We welcome posts on all topics relating to media and the law – particularly from international contributors. We can be contacted at the usual email address – inforrmeditorial@gmail.com.
