This special edition of the journal highlights the fantastic research of the postgraduate law students from various jurisdictions and universities, who presented their papers during the 2023 University of Leicester Law Postgraduate Research Conference. This edition marks a momentous time for the Law Review and for the University of Leicester itself. The collaborative culture nourished by the University has allowed for much innovation within the Law Review for which I am enormously proud of. From the successful launch of the ‘Let’s Review’ podcast in 2022, to the upcoming launch of the Law Gazette, a passion project of the talented Alice Messler, this special edition of the Law Review is another testament to the hard working and dedicated student body of the University of Leicester.
This venture would not have been made possible without the support of our amazing faculty, namely, Dr. Nauman Reayat, Dr. Ewa Zelazna, and Dr. Sarah Fox. I am grateful to Kathryn Sandilands, Cemre Kadioglu Kumtepe and Mandeep Singh for their commitment to this special issue in volunteering their time to editing the submissions on top of their PhD studies.
It is with great pleasure that I present this special edition of the Leicester Student Law Review.
