Notes
1. O'Higgins, who died in March of this year, was also a formidable bibliographer and Irish legal historian. For accounts of his career, see J. McEldowney's obituary in NILQ 59 (2008) 245, that of Keith Ewing (Independent 9 April 2008) and that of Bob Hepple (Guardian 25 March).
2. Bercusson died in July of this year and obituaries of him by Keith Ewing for the Guardian (26 September 2008) and Sonia McKay for the Independent (22 September 2008) refer to O'Higgins as a key figure in his intellectual development.
3. Wilson describes the philosophy that he intended to pursue at Warwick as one which would take assumptions behind courses and broaden them into a degree. With his Cambridge experience in mind, he readily admitted that such things were already done piecemeal in some Law Schools but nowhere ran an entire degree in this way (Wilson, Citation1968).
4. Those of us who were fortunate to attend Martin's Plenary Lecture at the SLSA Conference 2007 in Kent heard his account of his very enjoyable three years at Bristol and his involvement in creating a Young Lecturers' Group within the Society of Public Teachers of Law, or the Society of Legal Scholars as it is now.
