Denning Law Journal 2018 Vol 30 pp 1-2


              EDITORIAL INTRODUCTION

                           Sarah  Sargent*


    Lord Denning   is well known   for many  aspects of his  long and
illustrious legal career. The Denning Law Journal carries his name both in
recognition, and furtherance of his legacy and contributions to law. This
is reflected in the mission statement of the Journal:

    The  aim of the journal is to provide a forum  for the widest
    discussion of issues arising in the common law  world and  the
    Commonwealth, and to embrace the wider global and
    international issues of contemporary concern.
    Lord Denning recognised the importance of

       *   developing the common law
       *  focusing  on the development   of law in Commonwealth
           jurisdictions
       *   the need for judicial and community  recognition of the
           urgency of reform and modernization of law
       *   the need to preserve traditions of judicial independence,
           integrity, accountability and creativity
       *   reflecting upon the interplay of law and morality
       *   the role to be played by the state in the defence of the
           individual in the modern state
       *   international and comparative law
       *  protection  and promotion  of  human  and  constitutional
            rights
       *   development of constitutional and administrative law
    The  Denning   Law   Journal  strives to reflect these  in  its
    publication. 

    This edition of the Journal is particularly reflective of the values
espoused by Lord Denning,  on the importance of the role of the common
law in advancing legal change to keep up with a changing world. This is
