Impact on Democracy of Emergency Measures Against Covid-19: The Case of Albania
Get PDFWhilst there is significant discussion globally on the thesis that the Coronavirus is emboldening autocrats the world over through vastly expanded emergency powers, extraordinary measures and reliance on enforcement rather than on expendable democratic subtleties, this paper focuses on the particular case of Albania to show that even though the level of illiberal thrust in this country is far from equalling that of authoritarian regimes, a host of key similarities are already there, and the substance behind those similarities is equally worrying.
In Albania, the operationalisation of the pandemic has made room for the relentless advancement of the government’s political agenda, giving rise to serious doubts about the sincerity of the government-sponsored measures, their end effects and their compatibility with public interest and constitutional framework

Revising the Saudi Electronic Transactions Law on E-Signatures
Get PDFAcknowledging the ever-increasing significance of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in the global e-commerce market, this article critically examines the e-signature regime of the 2007 Saudi Electronic Transactions Law and its implementing regulation. In doing so, it considers the evolution of the European regime on e-signatures, from Directive 1999/93/EC to Regulation (EU) No 910/2014 (the eIDAS Regulation). The article primarily concludes that the Saudi legislature’s approach to e-signatures has been overly restrictive and calls for different, permissive and careful consideration.

Experiencing English Law Schools: The Student Perspective
Get PDFThis article examines Blackstone’s Tower: The English Law School from the perspective of law students entering and studying in law schools 25+ years after the publication of the book. The article provides an alternative ‘tour’ of an English law school, the tour that might be given by students. In doing so it asks to what extent students now would recognize the tour on which Twining took us in 1994 and what key sites and debates are either missing or now redundant. In particular, the article aims to encourage us to think about both physical and digital aspects of campus life, the increasing role of marketing, the growing emphasis on student support (particularly relating to wellbeing) and the continuing tensions between the vocational and liberal legal education.
Key words: legal education; law students; student experience; student support
