2025 has been a rather eventful year and witnessed multiple developments relevant to Birmingham Law School’s researchers’ various areas of interest. The blog has continued to account for many such developments and also as a platform to give voice to early career researchers in many areas of legal research. In addition, the Blog has turned 4 this year, reaching the school age and its continuing progress and success has been marked by publication of 160th blogpost last week. All that has materialised through the involvement of many people including the editorial team, those who provide logistical support, our many contributors and obviously the Blog’s readers. To all of you who have been involved in or supported the Blog all this time, and to all our readers, I wish you a great festive season and happy 2026.
