ABSTRACT
Speech delivered by the Editor, Susan Edwards, at the reception hosted by
Lord Slynn, the Chairman of the Editorial Advisory Board, to celebrate the
re-launch of the Journal in the Attlee Room at the House of Lords Thursday 1
February 2007.
I would like also to extend a warm welcome to you for being with us this
evening to celebrate the relaunch of the Denning Law Journal.
I would like to begin by thanking Lord Slynn the Chairman of our
Editorial Advisory Board. We are very honoured that Lord Slynn has agreed
to accept this responsibility. Lord Slynn is an honorary Professor of Law at
the University of Buckingham and we are especially proud of this connection.
When he joined One Essex Court as an international arbitrator, in 2005 upon
retirement after fifteen years as Law Lord it was described as a coup.
We think so too, when he accepted our invitation to chair the Denning
Editorial Advisory Board. Lord Slynn is well known amongst lawyers for so
many important developments in the law, and for his defence of freedom
amongst other inviolable rights. Dr Jocelynne Scutt (Barrister and Human
Rights Lawyer) one of our International Editorial Advisory Board members
who in an email sending her best wishes to us for this evening related to me
the many other important issues with which Lord Slynn is engaged and for
which he is clearly revered internationally. For example, Lord Slynn has been
one of several MPs, Lords and lawyers who have been calling for removal of
the People's Mojahedin Organisation of Iran from Britain's list of terrorist
organisations.
It is true as Dr Martin Luther King said, 'Our lives begin to end the day
we become silent about things that matter.' We thank you Lord Slynn.
I would also like to thank our Editorial Advisory Board members and also
our Assistant Editors for making this relaunch possible. Further thanks are
also due to the publishing Manager of the University of Buckingham Press,
Christopher Woodhead.
