I'm really looking forward to the webcast
Me, too. I hope it works.
Am I the only one who finds it strange that a symposium on 800 years of the Magna Carta should not include even one British academic?
Al – I'd love to have attended, but it's too late to arrange it. (I spoke on MC to the Canadian Bar Association, and I was at the 800th anniversary in Runnymede, so I'm super-keen on the subject these days.) I'll look forward to the webcast.
