This summer I spent five weeks in London with RWU Law’s very own Professor Robert Webster. Around thirty other students and I explored the history of the common law, and where it has led to, right where it began. That, and we explored London and the surrounding area… and Dublin.

The focus of the program was Comparative Trial Advocacy. Now, I have never intended to be a litigator, but not only did I enjoy the adventure and learn a great deal about what it takes to tango in the High Court, but I also learned that litigation isn’t exactly what I had thought. I can see myself as a litigator (although it’s still not on the top of my list).

The last two weeks, an optional extension for an additional 3 units, really tickled my fancy. This second part was entitled Comparative Constitutional Perspectives. The focus was privacy. I’ve come away with a whole new appreciation for both perspectives on privacy, new vocabulary for describing those perspectives, and a whole new theory all my own. (You’ll have to wait for me to publish that one later.)

Finally, two weeks to relax with my wife and now school is back on. My favourite class this semester? You guessed it: constitutional law. Well, that or Professor Santoro’s Business Organisations.
