Crim Law Reform Now

PUBLICATION: CLRNN 5 - REPORT - International Co-Operation and Extradition The report evaluates mutual legal assistance (MLA), extradition, and criminal jurisdiction, concluding that a comprehensive law reform project is both necessary and timely. clrnn.co.uk/publications-r…

It's been a privilege to lead this project for @CLRNNetwork and to work with so many expert contributors. The report looks at problems with the UK's frameworks for extradition, mutual legal assistance and criminal jurisdiction and outlines the need for a reform.

The @CLRNNetwork scoping review into the need for reform of the law relating to International Cooperation and Extradition was published today. Read more about the report on our website: lawcom.gov.uk/news/criminal-… and on the CLRNN website: clrnn.co.uk/news/

Wrote a post about the diff btw punishment for individual culpability and punishment based on fair notice.
