Dear Colleagues,


It has been a very busy year so far and at the recent Association of Law Teachers

conference I attended many sessions on wellbeing - for law students, practicing

lawyers and for legal academics. This led me to think about my own wellbeing, the

many strands of my work and how I position myself in relation to each strand. I love

being the editor of this journal, discussing ideas, reading early drafts and managing

the review process. It is an 'iceberg' process - there is much more going on under the

surface than shows up in the issue and that's fine, except that in the final moments I

have to construct an editorial and in those final moments I find I have little to say. The

pieces speak for themselves, with their own eloquent voices and the process of

introducing and linking them seems, to me, redundant. So this time, at least, I'm not

going to do it. Please let me know if this significantly detracts from your enjoyment

of the journal and I will reconsider it. Meanwhile, welcome to your late-blossoming

Spring Edition.
