And that’s a wrap! Out-of-office on from now until the new year, as we get sorted for the Big Move to @CUHKofficial @CUHKLaw and Hong Kong 🇭🇰.

But @UniversityLeeds aren’t getting shot of me that easily, as my Visiting Professor position has now been officially confirmed, so I’ll still be affiliated throughout 2025 🎉.

Finally, Friday was my last working day at @Law_Leeds 🥹🥹🥹 I was privileged to share a farewell toast in the School with the lovely Chris Dietz, also departing for pastures new 🇦🇺, to celebrate our shared 30 years (!) at the School of Law.

Thursday was @ahrcpress project day, and I hosted documentary director/mo-cap genius Owen Seabrook and @JUSTICEhq’s Andrea Fraser in York. Excellent day’s work strategising, so now I’m very very excited for what’s to come in 2025.

This was followed by a lovely leaving party, which made Wednesday a struggle but was well worth it! (Sanitised photo selection below; there will be none of pub 3 😂)

My grateful thanks to Mike Palmer (SOAS; HKU) for coming all the way to Leeds to participate, and to @LSJ_Leeds discussants @drfoxpopuli @eepwrites & @PaoloSandro2, and to Grace Rogers & Rebecca Moosavian for organisation (and Bailey’s!).

Tuesday afternoon saw the launch of Legal Pluralism: New Trajectories in Law, co-authored with the wonderful @GlexAreen. Book currently only £39.99 on the Routledge website, and even less with code AFLY04* (I think. I have not checked this. ).

Then on Tuesday I finished up my PhD supervision responsibilities at Leeds: I have the pleasure & privilege of continuing to supervise Jiaqi Zhang to completion but Juliet, Emma @eepwrites, it’s been a blast - my very wishes for your ongoing doctoral work.

First, my civil/criminal hybrid orders research was quoted in the @CrimeandJustice (CCJS) Briefing on Serious Violence Reduction Orders (SVROs), an important document that advocates for a more evidence-based approach to reducing violence.

The dust is settling on an epic final week at @Law_Leeds and I’m shattered, weepy, and buzzing all at the same time. Short 🧵.

RT @CrimeandJustice: Serious Violence Reduction Orders (SVROs) were introduced in 2022 to tackle knife crime, but the Home Office's lack of….
