A practical framework for turning an untidy client problem into issues, evidence, law, opposing arguments, weaknesses and a reasoned next step.
Lawyers, Plumbers and Lightbulb Moments
An introduction to the practical craft of law: solving human problems, choosing the right tool and developing judgement alongside legal knowledge.
Divided by a Common Legal Language
An introduction to comparative legal thinking: familiar words can conceal different rules, institutions and procedures across jurisdictions.
Conditions, Warranties and Innominate Terms
Classify contractual terms accurately, connect classification to remedies, and distinguish the common-law framework from modern statutory consumer remedies.

Take apart an SQE-style costs question: separate client liability from inter-party recoverability, identify the tiger traps and understand why the distractors fail.

A first map of criminal responsibility: defined offences, conduct, fault, defences and the discipline of requiring proof rather than relying on appearances.
Actus Reus: Conduct, Circumstances and Consequences
A clear introduction to the external ingredients of offences: voluntary conduct, surrounding circumstances and prohibited results.
Foundations of English Land Law: Introduction
A map before the detail: land law as the organisation of overlapping rights, interests, occupation, security and competing claims to the same place.
What Is Land Law Really About?
The heartbeat of land law: identify the right, how it arose, how it was protected and whether it binds the person now dealing with the land.
Enoch’s Hammer: An Introduction
Why a Luddite hammer became the symbol for a series about resisting easy caricatures, testing assumptions and asking deeper questions about technology, power and learning.
Did a 90s Ambient House Group Predict AI Data Centres?
An eccentric route into a serious question: how surveillance, data, conformity and fear of being wrong can shape the courage required for deep learning and independent thought.
A Room to Think — The Reading Room and the Light
Three Manchester libraries become a reflection on atmosphere, access, tradition, technology and the value of creating somewhere — physical or digital — in which to think well.
The Threshold: Are You Ready for Law?
A calm orientation for learners approaching legal study: structure, academic habits, language, critical thinking and the confidence that grows from taking the next manageable step.
Core Terms of a Contract
A deeper look at essential contractual content, certainty and the Consumer Rights Act 2015 — with an important distinction between formation language and the statutory price/main-subject-matter exclusion.
Consumer Protection Act 1987 v Negligence
Two overlapping routes to product-liability damages: no-fault liability for a defective product under the Consumer Protection Act 1987 and fault-based negligence at common law.
Psychiatric Harm in Negligence
