Greetings to all, and welcome to new members.

For those who do not already know, the Society of Public Teachers of Law will be meeting in Cambridge, 9-13 September 1996. The theme of the main conference is "legislation". Speakers will include Hon. Mrs. Justice Arden (Chair of the Law Commission), Prof. Jack Beatson (Rouse Ball Prof of Law at Cambridge), Prof. Neil MacCormick (Regius Prof of Law at Edinburgh), Prof. Reinhard Zimmerman (Prof of Law at Regensburg), and many more.

The Restitution Section will meet 9-11 September. This year the session is presented jointly with the Contracts Section, the Commercial Law Section, the Journal of Contract Law, and the UK National Conference on Comparative Law. This joint session is on "Failure of Contracts".
