I wish I had been able to go to #alba19 yesterday. Looking at the tweets it looks as though it was really excellent. This is my favourite tweet though.
Very interesting series of tweets from this panel discussion at #alba19 of responses to Lord Sumption’s Reith lectures, with a range of conspicuously knowledgeable and sharply varying views
Next up, a heavyweight panel of Lord Dyson, Sir Stephen Laws, Prof Vernon Bogdanor, Prof Meg Russell, Lord Falconer of Thoroton QC are responding to this year's Reith Lectures, chaired by Mrs. Justice Thornton #alba19
Thank you @ALBA_Members for the great live coverage of the Administrative Law Bar Conference #alba19. Gutted I couldn’t make it, but really interesting dialogue. I’d encourage those interested in public law to read it - featuring A-listers including Lords Sumption and Dyson
When you are a junior barrister building your practice you need to be very careful about what you say publicly, warn @WomaninHavana and @JMPSimor in response to a question from the audience, but saying the picture changes with seniority. #alba19
To understand power of legal social media, just need to read the King/Barber/Hickman blogpost which led to the Miller case @JolyonMaugham tells #alba19.
@davidallengreen agrees saying in 20 years time people will be astounded that people waited 4 months for a LQR case comment.
There are ways you can protect your professional integrity on social media says @WomaninHavana - but you need to be careful about what you tweet about and in what terms. @JMPSimor agrees, saying she will not tweet about cases she is involved in #alba19
Now @davidallengreen is reflecting on his experience of deconstructing claims made by Assange and Wikileaks on twitter. While he was pilloried for it from many Assange supporters, says it also showed other would-be supporters the flawed nature of some of his claims. #alba19
Now @seanjonesqc is explaining Myerson's law ( @SCynic1) to the audience at #alba19
Lawyers are unused to entering into what they expect to be a public education campaign when engaging on social media and finding they get zero deference and are in effect "pig wrestling" warns @seanjonesqc #alba19
The first time someone tried to get @seanjonesqc thrown out of chambers because of something he wrote on the internet was 1994, he tells #alba19
Engagement on twitter allows member of bar human rights cttee allows barristers able to engage with lawyers worldwide, creating solidarity at a time where rule of law is under attack - forum for support and assistance: @WomaninHavana to #alba19
To what extent when we're on twitter are we allowed to tweet as human beings rather than lawyers asks
@JolyonMaugham #alba19
Next up is @JolyonMaugham who refers to the disinhibited and spontaneous nature of social media - this, together with fact that it is in writing and recorded creates a whole set of issues for lawyers. #alba19
It is a good thing that QCs can be rescued from the deference they get in Court and in chambers - makes them more approachable and less mystifying to the public says @davidallengreen #alba19
Social media is a good thing for lawyers says @davidallengreen. Pays tribute to the late Sir Henry Brooke for his excellent blog. If lawyers don't explain the law, then it is left to non-lawyers to explain the law - and that is not a good thing. #alba19
Lord Sumption: Sceptical of citizens' assemblies, and ability to make representative, but worth exploring. Need to explore possible solutions as alternative is authoritarianism #alba19
Lord Sumption: if you can accept that a right of privacy is a valuable thing, but prevention of crime is also valuable. How much of the former do you sacrifice for the latter? This is a question for collective decision amongst all of us #alba19
Lord Sumption: ECHR designed to limit powers of domestic legislatures. Designed to prevent horrors, but has evolved into something broader. #alba19
Lord Sumption now compares ECHR system with that of EU law - EU law has democratic input via member states, whereas Strasbourg Court has no such input #alba19
